**Wedding Tip Wednesday: Ask About the Extra Fees**

When comparing venues, don’t just look at the advertised price.

Ask what gets added at the end.

Service charges, taxes, staffing fees, setup fees, cleanup fees, cake-cutting fees, corkage fees and required gratuities can turn an affordable venue into something very different.

Before you sign, ask:

**“What will my actual total be?”**

At Virginia’s House, our venue pricing is a flat rate. No taxes, tips or service charges added on top.

Knowing your real number makes budgeting SO much easier.

**Wedding Tip Wednesday: You Don’t Have to Follow Every Tradition**

Don’t love the bouquet toss? Skip it.

Don’t want a wedding party? Don’t have one.

Want to see each other before the ceremony? Go for it.

Want cake before dinner? We won’t judge.

Traditions are wonderful when they mean something to you. But your wedding doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Keep the things you love. Skip the things you don’t.

It’s YOUR wedding.

Let's chat.

It’s FRI-YAY!

Here’s your Friday reminder that weddings don’t have to be complicated.

Pick the person you love.
Invite the people you actually want there.
Eat good food.
Play great music.
Take lots of pictures.
Laugh a lot.
And enjoy your day.

Twenty-eight years of weddings have taught us that the happiest celebrations aren’t always the fanciest ones—they’re the ones that feel like YOU.

Have a fabulous weekend from Virginia’s House!

Meanwhile, back in 1913…

The first crossword puzzle was published.

Henry Ford introduced the moving assembly line.

The Federal Reserve was created.

Woodrow Wilson became President.

Arizona had only been a state for ONE year.

And in a little town called Glendale, a house was built.

More than a century later, that house is still standing—and these days, instead of simply being someone’s home, it’s filled with weddings, celebrations, families, laughter and a whole lot of history.

Virginia’s House — The Historic 1913 C.H. Tinker Home.

113 years and still making memories.

It’s Hump Day in the middle of an Arizona summer!

It may be hot outside, but wedding and event planning doesn’t stop just because the thermometer has lost its mind.

We still have a few appointment times available this week. Come take a look, ask questions, talk dates, and start planning for those MUCH cooler days ahead.

Tours are by appointment Tuesday through Friday, 12-7pm.

Happy National Son and Daughter Day!

One of my favorite things about weddings is watching families celebrate not only a marriage, but the son or daughter they’ve loved, raised, worried about, cheered for, and watched grow into the person standing at the altar.

No matter how old they are, they’ll always be your little boy or little girl.

Here’s to all the moms and dads who have watched their sons and daughters begin a brand-new chapter right here at Virginia’s House. What a privilege it has been to witness those moments.
