How to Tailor the Historic Wedding of Your Dreams

Historic venues have grown to become a favorite of couples these days. The reason for their popularity is that these venues can offer an atmosphere unlike any other. A historic venue creates a vibe that is both warm and comforting but also unique and revered. Sanctuary on Penn of Indianapolis is one of these historic venues where brides and grooms alike desire to have their weddings because of those rare aspects. But, when it comes to planning a wedding at a historic venue, there is much more that can be offered other than a fantastical looking space. This is proven by Sanctuary on Penn, where beauty and client service meet to create a truly tailored wedding experience.
 

Tailoring Your Wedding

Sanctuary on Penn is the ideal venue for couples looking to have a historical wedding because this venue can truly tailor it to the bride and groom’s dreams. At Sanctuary on Penn, they take you step by step through the process of creating a beautiful, historic wedding. They do this by designing individual, dream packages for each couple. Unlike other venues, you aren't presented with only 2-3 options as your only choices. Instead, Sanctuary on Penn offers “The Dream Sheet." This sheet is designed to help each couple build their custom package. You will dream up all the things you want for your picture-perfect wedding, from your lighting to your ideal DJ. Sanctuary on Penn says, “We'll ask you to tell us everything you might want with no regard to your budget. Afterwards, we'll tally it all up and give you a quote for your dream wedding. If your dreams match your budget, great! If not, don't worry. We'll still help you to make it work.”
