A Capitol Idea - Our Venue


Aside from figuring out if it was "capitol" or "capital" (I came to the conclusion you could use both) - planning a wedding at the Pennsylvania State Capitol is rather simple.  The biggest issue you have is logistics - getting your "stuff" ie, flowers, tables, chairs into the space is the most difficult aspect.  The jaw-dropping venue is very popular in our area - you can hold a non-religious ceremony, but still have a reverent feel. 

The biggest drawback for most brides is getting the venue in the first place.  This was my big "want" for my wedding, so I was willing to allow the venue to set my date.  We wanted something in the spring and it just so happened that a couple had cancelled, so we took their date.  This does not happen for everyone (or anyone - we were pretty lucky), so if you want this venue, you have to plan ahead - about 2 years ahead.  I worked with DGS (Department of General Services) to set up our date and to coordinate drop offs and pick ups, deliveries and that sort of thing.  They were very helpful and made this one of the easiest parts of planning my wedding.
