Wedding planning and registry resource The Knot is helping to familiarize couples with the offerings on The Knot app and get them thinking about the basics of picking the perfect wedding venue with a new special TV show called I Do to the Venue. Premiering on FYI Network on July 18th, the show follows newly engaged couples as they scout various places to hold their ceremony and reception.
The first episode tells the story of Maria and Trey, who look at three venues across two states, and hope to find an option that will suit her dream of something elegant, traditional and his desire for a wedding that's urban-chic.
The format of the show may remind of others like TLC's Say Yes to the Dress or HGTV's House Hunters and help couples get a better sense of what questions to ask on their wedding venue site tours.
