No dressing room at venue? (Audubon Clubhouse)

LyannaStark

Delurking! You ladies have all been a huge help already. Nice to meet you!

I am leaning pretty heavily toward the Audubon Clubhouse, but there's no getting-ready room. Anyone else have a venue like that? Even this one specifically? How did you handle it? Get ready in the hotel suite, then sit in a car and pop out at the last second? It's an outdoor ceremony (in theory).

I've heard nothing but good things about this place, and this certainly isn't a dealbreaker, but I'm kind of baffled - how do you make a grand entrance without somewhere to enter from?

I didn't even consider getting ready at my venue.  I got ready at the Omni Royal Orleans.

I think you'll have a grand entrance no matter what.  I always love the shots of the bride getting out of the limo with her father at the ceremony location.

Hi there! Just had my wedding there last weekend. We got ready at a house we rented in the Garden District and then we waited in the Clubroom until the guests were seated. It was very cool to wait there cause I could watch the guests being seated. Venue is absolutely amazing!!! If you want more info, ideas, or to see pics email me at shaylapetties20@yahoo.com
