  • Umm WOW Im incredibly jealous!! lol that looks so amazing!!! Congrats!!!
  • thanks so much! Iot was a tough choice because the layout is kinda weird here...its a long skinny room

    but it was the a. the most affordable
    and b. i went to college right down the rd. so it has some emotional draw!

    Looking forward to seeing everyones venue picks as we get more people on this board!!

  • Hooray!  Cograts on picking a place, it looks really nice.  You just gave me a mini anxiety attack, though.  I just started searching online for venues for my Aug '12 wedding. . .how far out do I need to make a decision and reserve a place?

    Dont worry!! I wouldn't have anxiety yet.

    If you just started to search, then I would think booking by the Spring is a good timeline.

    I needed to book a bit earlier because in the summer things can book out up to two or three years-- since I live in a high tourist location-- especailly water front venues. Plus I wanted to secure a Saturday night.

    Also, booking before the year end meant I locked in at 2010 pricing, saving me around $1000 on the venue... Their prices are increasing for 2011 and then again in 2012. So it might be worth your while to book before the end of the year.--- but be sure to ask if there is a 2011 price increase coming up.

    So I guess it depends on where you live, how high in demand your venue is, and the pricing.

    I just booked, and the woman there told me she had book 3 weddings in July, 2 in August (that includes mine) and one in september.

    They do about 2 a weekened from May-September-- so thats about 40 weddings-- so Considering she only have about 6/40 booked--im on the early side. However, I wanted a Saturday in August and didin't want to Risk it.
