If my fiance and I can't agree on wedding venue, what should we do?

Arrange an appointment time to conduct a site inspection of the wedding venues you are both interested in.

This is also a great opportunity to further discuss wedding plans and ideas and ask any questions you may have.

A difficult one but not something to get upset about.  Maybe both let go of your initial positions, and agree to start from scratch with a joint dream board.  As someone else suggested here,  start with the essentials and plan outwards from that.  You might just find you end up with something completely different than what you, as an individuals started with, but you will end up with something that you both, as a couple, have built together.

How much nicer will it be to know that no one has 'given in' (and possible may be resentful later),  but you have begun your journey together as you intend to go on, caring for and thinking of, your soul mate.

This is a tough situation...but not uncommon!

Try and establish what it is that makes you both want alternate venues. The location of your wedding is about allot more than just the look of the reception space. For instance one of you might feel sentimental about a place as it was the location of your first date, or ties into a shared love or interest of you both. In this case this venue might tie in best with the 'story' of your big day and lend itself to a theme you both love.

Having one place for the ceremony and another for the reception can work nicely. Maybe consider which point in the day you would like to do most of your photography, would it be on the grounds after you've exchanged vows...or are you more interested in after dark photos surrounded by beautiful lighting? 

Every couple is different so we say flip a coin! … Jokes!

No, our love experts here at The Pier suggest sitting down as a couple and discussing the main elements of your wedding which are very important to you both.  

Once you have a general understanding on the non-negotiables you will be able to filter through the venues to see which ones suit your requirements. For example if a beach wedding is what you both desire then you will know that your only looking for venues near the water or beach, not the heart of the city. 
That should at least help narrow it down a little bit ;)
