I am coming to Pittsburgh next week to visit wedding sites (yay!!) and wanted to find out some of the best-practices ideas for what to do/expect.
For example, this may sound silly, but how long does each visit take, approximately? Do some venues share recent contracts/billing information (with personal data blanked out of course)? How many different places do you think I can visit before getting overwhelmed/burned out? Did you just "know" when you found the place?
I found a great questionnarie/checklist on kwynn's blog (thanks!) of what to ask and am planning to fine-tune to my needs, but are there some other tips of what to look for/ask/bring/etc.?
I am arriving Friday night late, and leaving Sunday, so need to be super-tactical and targeted!
Since its not cheap to fly in and out of Pittsburgh from LA, I'm hoping to make our final decision on this trip. I have contacted all of the venues I am interested in to weed out those that either aren't available timing wise, or out of my projected budget, but will still probably want to squeeze in as many visits as possible
(Also, am so looking forward to it since this will be the first "wedding" thing me and FI are doing since getting engaged over Christmas!)
