Here’s the deal: we base this rating on feedback from couples who’ve been there before and on the practicals—like how well the venue handles everything you need for your big day. If a venue can host it all—ceremony, reception, and everything in between—it’ll score higher. But if it only offers part of the day, like just a ceremony or reception space, it might score lower. Not because it’s not a great spot! It just means more moving pieces for you to juggle.
