NEED HELP FAST!!

We just lost our wedding venue, due to a festival coming to town. We were previously cleared for our date, now we're 20 days away and have nowhere to have our ceremony. It was a local park, so there was no contract in place.

Anyone have any ideas ITP Atlanta? Our date is April 19th (Thursday).

Oh goodness love, I'm so sorry. How large is your guest list? And where on Earth were you having the ceremony?

Contact your local VFWs/ALs to see if they have an opening at one of their halls. Also contact local schools and churches, they may let you use their gym for a small fee.  Worst they can say is no. 

Does anyone you know on the GL have a house with a nice backyard? You would probably have to rent chairs though, which could be hard to do in 20 days. 

Are there any other parks you could look into, maybe a little further away? I'm pretty sure the ones out here in Gwinnett offer a contract if you use one of their pavilions or facilities. I think they range in price from like $50-$400+, depending on the size and how long you need the place. 

Note to other brides, this is a very good example about why it's crucial to have a contract! OP, I know that's not what you want to hear, and I'm not trying to belittle you because obviously that can't be helped now, but your experience can serve as a warning to others.

Luckily, we kept the guest list small at 24 people (including us). We're looking at restaurants and other parks now to see what we can manage.

<div>Oh that is so good! I was fearing the worst, 150+ or something! haha If that had been the case, I was going to tell you to call Q100's Bert show. They LOVE helping people out with this kind of thing. </div><div>
</div><div>But yes, if it's that small, then not as criticall. You should be able to manage at another nearby park or restaurant. Tell  them what happened! I would totally try and work some sympathy in there. They might feel bad for you and try to help you out. </div><div>
