57+ Creative Topics for Your Wedding Venue Blog

Coming up with content ideas is one of the toughest part of blogging, no matter the industry. 

Fortunately for wedding venue managers, there is a wealth of ideas to write about weddings! From bridal style to centerpiece ideas to etiquette to the newest trends, you have a vast range of topics to write about. 

I’ve pulled together nearly 60 topic ideas that you can refer to any time you’re stuck and need a bite from the blogging muse. 

Real Weddings

You have a steady stream of content ideas flowing through your venue every weekend during wedding season. I’m talking about the real weddings that you’ve already booked. 

These are your calling card. They’re the way you promote your venue to future clients. You can share unique ways that couples decorated the space to show off its versatility and build up excitement about viewing the venue.

Logistically, you just need to do a few things: 

• Make sure your contract with the couple states that you may use the couple’s reviews and wedding pictures in your blog.
• Reach out to the couple’s wedding photographer to get their permission to use their pictures in your blog. If you agree to include a backlink to the photographer’s website, they’ll usually agree to this.
• Remind the photographer to share images with you a few weeks after the event takes place.

Then write your post and share those sweet stories.

Some wedding venue blogs only write wedding recaps. I recommend switching it up with some of the following ideas. While real weddings can help seal the deal for couples who were considering your venue, they’re not the kind of content that gives your site much of an SEO boost.

Blog posts in this category could be helpful both to professional wedding planners and to couples. Most people planning weddings have never done any major event planning before, and could use all the help you can offer.

Wedding Venue Blog Tips

Once you’ve come up with the content topic for your wedding venue blog, there are some important tips to keep in mind. 

Include plenty of images in your posts. Ideally, these will be pictures from weddings at your venue. Only use pictures with permission from the photographer, and always give them clear credit.

After you’ve hit “Publish” on your blog posts, make sure to promote them! Links on your social media will help drive traffic to your blog. Pay special attention to Pinterest. It’s huge with couples planning weddings, and it’s often the first place they go for wedding design and planning inspiration.
