Yes we do get some color in late October but it never fails, our best pops are early November! And can we talk about the way the sun makes it’s absolutely glow?

POV: You show up to a wedding without RSVPing… but still expect a hot meal. We’re joking. Kind of. Maybe. 👀 If you’ve ever planned a wedding, you KNOW the frustration of chasing down wedding RSVPs! The final guest count has been submitted to the caterer. The seating chart is finalized. Tables are set, place settings are counted, and every meal has been accounted for. And then… SURPRISE! A guest who never RSVP’d shows up ready for dinner. At 1860 Schulhaus Venue, we believe every guest deserves to feel welcome, and we’ll always do what we reasonably can to accommodate those unexpected arrivals. But let’s be clear… your RSVP isn’t just a suggestion. It affects catering costs, seating arrangements, table layouts, and the entire wedding day experience. So, wedding guests, PLEASE RSVP! Even if you’re not attending. Your couple (and their wedding vendors) will thank you! And to our couples dealing with those last-minute surprises… don’t fret. We’ve got this. Because sometimes wedding planning requires a little humor… and maybe a backup PB&J.

Admittedly we are so completely torn on this… having water at the table looks really nice and is extremely convenient for guests if they need the water. But with us being a smaller venue, the bar isn’t far and we often find that a large majority of the water goes untouched. So where do you stand in this- water at the table even though most don’t drink it and it may feel like additional clutter or keep it because there are a few who like it and appreciate it and that’s what matters?

Brides, I KNOW you're losing your minds over those missing RSVPs. And as a wedding venue owner, trust me: WE'RE FRUSTRATED TOO! We need final guest counts, tables, chairs, and catering numbers. And somehow Aunt Karen still thinks she'll just let you know the morning of. So I've officially decided: No RSVP = lawn chair + PB&J sandwich. Just kidding. (Mostly.) Seriously, wedding guests, PLEASE RSVP. Your response matters more than you realize! Brides, tag that friend or family member who STILL hasn't responded. Consider this their official warning.

When we get to play with new pieces and get creative for a photo shoot it’s always a fun day at the venue. Being a micro wedding venue doesn’t mean we can’t have beautiful set ups and feel elegant for your special day, you absolutely can and it can be done very reasonably. Some of our packages include almost everything you see in the video!

There’s no such thing as a day off. There’s always something that needs to be done from marketing to tours to event prep to the events themselves. And I’m pretty confident that I speak for most venue owners in saying, we love what we do and the quiet moments we get almost feel like a day off- at least from the chaos. This is when we get to think, be creative, plan or even day dream of a beach vacation in the off season.

The pretty tables don’t just happen. There’s a whole side of wedding venue ownership and event planning that guests—and sometimes even our couples—never see. Folding napkins. Setting tables. Straightening chairs. Placing décor. Checking the tiny details. Then checking them again. No, the napkins don’t come pre-folded. They definitely don’t fold themselves. And apparently AI hasn’t taken over this job yet. It may seem like a small detail, but those small details are what bring the entire room together. As venue owners, wedding planners and coordinators, so much of what we do happens quietly behind the scenes. The goal is that when you walk into your wedding or event, everything simply feels ready. You don't have to think about how it got that way. We do.
