Picked our venue today!!!

Jessjoy727

Hello everyone!!

 I've been MIA lately due to school but I'm back and really excited!! So without really having to even talk to my boyfriend about the whole planning thing he came out and said that we are engaged but just without a ring yet. ( background for those who don't know..my bf wanted to set a date in May but doesn't want to propose till around christmas time and I was nervous about planning a wedding in less than 5 months) So we ended up going to a place that my friend told me about and absolutely loved it so much that we booked it today!! He was really stoked about it and I couldn't be happier!

 It is exactly what we are looking for in a venue. They don't have many pictures but the website is barringtonhillfarm.com and click on wedding event and venue rental if you want to check it out. Just wanted to share the exciting news since one of my last posts was so depressing haha. Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

It's really pretty.  Congrats!

Congratulations! It's good you guys both found a place you both like.

Not to be a debbie downer, but I think you might want to omit some of the info in your post, since it has the location, the date, and your name. I've heard some urban legends of evil-doings regarding venues on here.

Thanks for the info, I'll edit it right now.

Ohhh... love the venue! 

And congrats on being engaged!! 

P.S. I'd recommend checking out Mutley's farm fresh planning bio for some ideas.

as a newbie I am interested in hearing some of these urban legends.


Congrats on selecting a venue! I am sure that is a huge weight off of your shoulders.

That is a VERY beautiful venue... feel free to join us over on the WCF board too. Many of the ladies over there have some great ideas.

CWill, basically people have supposedly called up venues to cancel or change things.  Or shown up and crashed the wedding, claiming to know the bride.  Those are the two examples I've heard of.

Wow that is really horrible. People have too much time on their hands.

I am not much of an online sharer anyway. My facebook is on lock down and I try to be as general as possible on these boards.

I have heard over on the nest about people being "outed". They will be in public and someone will come up to them and ask if they are whatevertheirscreennameis. Scary.

Jessjoy727

Ahh now I'm super nervous because I havent heard back yet from the lady there about the contract. Why would someone do that?  That would absolutely be horrible!!

calindi

Girls on here can be crazy.  Also, it's totally public, so any crazy person out there could just scroll through to find details to make someone else's life miserable.

Not likely, but something to be careful about.  If you haven't heard from a vendor, call them!

Jessjoy727

yeah I don't understand why girls would do that. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. What are the WFC boards? Sorry, I'm still kinda new and don't know all of the shortcuts yet
