I have visited 6 venues and contacted many more. I would be happy with 4 of them, but my parents/FH find faults in every one. They expect perfection (nice hotel rooms, within 30 minutes of their home, allowed to bring all our own stuff, no roads or freeways nearby), but we don't have the budget to get a venue like that.
We wanted a 1 year engagement. Now everywhere seems to be fully booked on Saturdays and I'm no closer to finding a venue after countless hours of research. I honestly feel like crying and giving up after they nixed this last place.
Did anyone else have trouble finding a venue or have overbearing parents/fiancé when it came to wedding planning? How did you deal with the frustration?
