Venue Shopping- SUCCESS!!

Hi ladies!I am doing the happy dance right now because I think I found THE place to hold my wedding.First, I have to say I had a total meltdown Saturday night after checking out a place  I was soooo excited for it, but when I got there I was not impressed at all- and it was so stinking expensive!!!  The food alone blew out our budget!So Sunday morning JEGs and I headed over to Normandy Farm in Blue Bell.  We were not excited about it, and he actually said to me "Why are we even looking here".We. loved. it.It was everything I wanted- it had that cozy, country like feel, but still sophisticated.  I am so stoked.  And it's only 15 mintues from our apartment.  Both of our parents are going to be in town on Saturday for an engagment dinner.  We have an appointment for them to check it out before dinner.  Pops is bringing the check book.Soooo... it looks like this thing might actually happen.  July 17, 2010.  Mark the date ladies- I am on my way to becoming Mrs. JEGs.LB

    Congrats! I'm getting married at Blue Bell CC (Normandy's sister property), but we're having a brunch the next day at Normandy Farm in the silos ballroom. You will be very happy there-- congratulations again!

    Should have read this post before commenting on the barn post below, Amer!  CONGRATS!  You are going to love NF...it was love at first sight for us, too.  It was the first venue we visited and nothing else ever compared.  Such a great decision.  Our pro photos should be in at the end of this week, and if you want to e-mail me I can show you all our non-pro photos from family and friends.  colinandheather at me dot com.  Are you having your ceremony there as well?

    I wouldn't personally recommend any of their "preferred" vendors.  After I did some homework, I wasn't impressed by any of them.  If it makes things clear, last year Clair Pruett was their preferred photographer.  We used Doug Burns, who was wonderful.  I can recommend others if that's your next project, as can many other girls here :) Just shoot me an e-mail and I'll send you all the non-pro pics and tell you whatever you want to know!

    Ah, Congratulations! I went to a wedding there this summer and it was just beautiful. The rooms, how everything is set up, the outdoor space where you get married (if you are choosing that) it's all just stunning. My aunt also works there!

    Girls, I cannot thank you enough for all your help and support!  We are doing another walk through this weekend to make sure the parentals like it.  If they like it, it's offically a go and I can hit the ground running!  I better start lacing up my sneakers!LB

    Their pastry chef is AMAZING.. their cakes win awards every year at the city of hope festival. This past year they had a banana walnut cake that knocked my socks off... I am ordering it for my birthday this year :)
