Hi everyone! I think I have narrowed down my venue options for both the ceremony and reception to two venues - The Essex and Sugarbush. I have been on site visits to both, have looked through all the options and the price ranges, and have come to a bit of an impasse. My parents LOVE The Essex, and I like it as well, but my FI...not so much. He was sold with the chairlift option at Sugarbush, which is very cool, just also more expensive (and I'm not sure if it's a justifiable expense - what if it rains or is too windy?). He also seemed to not be a fan of the outdoor space at The Essex, and liked the atmosphere of Sugarbush much more.
So - is it worth it to try to have the unique experience of getting married on the mountain, or to go with an overall nice venue which pleases the parents more? I am pretty much stuck between the two myself - I can see myself getting married at either - just wondering if I am missing a reality check somewhere.
