In this episode of The Real Brides Podcast, Vanessa shares how she chose Princeton’s Chauncey Hotel for her reception—falling in love with the picturesque grounds, the historic Laurie House for getting ready and cocktail hour, and the convenience of on-site lodging that saved time (and transportation costs). She highlights flexible indoor/outdoor spaces (including a beautiful tent), gorgeous photo locations, great food, and standout coordination from the venue team. Her advice to couples: arrive with a vision but stay open, prioritize staff vibe and communication, and always taste the food before you book.
