It\u2019s important that you follow these dimensions because if you create something too big, Instagram will zoom in on the image causing a loss of quality which ultimately reflects on your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Show Off Behind-the-Scenes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Not many people know what goes on behind the scenes of a wedding venue. It\u2019s the secret work so many people pull off every single day. Planning a wedding is difficult work, and showing off that process helps tell that story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about including some behind the scenes on how the decorations are set up, how the food is cooked, and even how the table arrangements are set up.<\/strong> Instagram stories let your company show off what many people don\u2019t see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Behind-the-Scenes$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
By showing off the hard work you and your staff does, this provides a visual to potential clients as to what type of quality they can expect when renting your venue. This is one of the simplest wedding venue Instagram tips to take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Make Special Announcements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Instagram is also great for announcing company updates. You can post an image or video on both your Instagram stories and feed posts. Whether it\u2019s announcing a change in operations, or just an upcoming event, take advantage of this wedding venue Instagram tip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re posting on Instagram stories you don\u2019t ALWAYS have to produce something really high quality. Instagram actually gives its users the ability to create text postings from scratch through stories.<\/strong> It\u2019s easy and not stressful at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you don\u2019t have the budget to have fancy graphics created you can still keep your audience up to date on any changes or specials that you are running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Share User Generated Content (UGC)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Wedding venues should definitely take advantage of sharing user generated content on their Instagram story and feed posts. Resharing posts of previous bride and groom\u2019s weddings are a great way to show new customers the work you have done and thank previous guests for choosing your venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only does sharing UGC count as a customer testimonial, it also is a way of social proofing your wedding venue. Social proof is a psychological influence that happens when users see how other clients have enjoyed their experience at your wedding venue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of our clients have used this wedding venue Instagram tip and they see tremendous engagement with their followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Showcase Time-Sensitive Offers and Deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re deciding to offer a promotion for your wedding venue make sure to not only post it in your feed, but to also post it as a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sheer number of people that view their stories makes it a logical place to share your promotion while the feed post is something that can stay there permanently if you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way you\u2019re creating multiple access points for people to see your offer. Since stories disappear in 24 hours, make sure you repost the story again for people to keep seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Focus More on Visuals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Remember that whether it\u2019s a picture or video, the less text on an Instagram stories and posts the better. No one wants to read an article, especially on stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a visual aspect and aesthetic for your story is a great way for people to stay longer and gain attention. Visuals should be easy to look at and the main message should be in the spotlight. If it\u2019s a branded visual message, make sure it fits the colors and theme of your wedding venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using videos in your stories and feed posts is an incredible way to capture the feeling of your venue. Video helps build trust which is one of the main reasons why we highly recommend implementing video into your marketing campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are posting text, get creative in the font and design of the text. Having plain text with a boring font is a recipe for a fast swipe and no attention. Although it may be a small detail, it can separate you from the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focusing on great visuals might be the best wedding venue Instagram tip that we can recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Mix Inspirational Tips and Ideas in to Your Posts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

8. Incorporate Interactive Elements to Your Stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the cool new innovations for Instagram stories are the interactive elements which can greatly increase your engagement.

While we did state that stories disappear after 24 hours, that isn\u2019t entirely true. You can add add your stories to what are called \u201chighlights\u201d that are located on your Instagram page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"instagram$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Highlights work great for content that you know new and current followers will want to see. Incorporating this wedding venue Instagram tip will help new followers quickly get an idea of the content you post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. Use Proper Hashtags To Be Discovered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
