Hazel Bourget from Blu Bungalow spoke with I Do Venues to share the scoop!

IDV: How and why did you come up with the idea for the Beyond Blu Bungalow venue tours?

Hazel: "We are constantly trying to think of fun, interactive, and different ways for engaged couples to plan their weddings. Weddings are a celebration - why shouldn't the planning part be fun as well?"

IDV: What can brides expect from the tours?

Hazel: "Our tours are a progressive and intimate experience. Each tour is guided by a professional wedding planner who will give them a pro's insight on each venue. This smaller setting allows for couples to get to know the vendors who are guiding them through the process and be exposed to a small set of venues with differing styles. A catered lunch will be included as well as a few other fun surprises along the way."

Reserve tickets for upcoming tours.
