So I finally booked my venue, the Castaways and I absolutely love the location, however do not love a lot of their restrictions. My FI and I probably visited a good 20 venues before making the final selection.
However, I do feel a little guilt because it is going to end up costing us more than we had first planned and not loving some of their policies. First of all, the ceremony has to start at 5:30 and they wont let us go earlier so that gives us 30 minutes before the sun starts setting. Plus the service charge is 20% and that's after taxes. My last complaint is that if you bring your own wine they charge you a $20 corkage fee for each bottle so that plan is out for us.
Anyway, just wanted to vent. Overall I love the view and the banquet room is very pretty. And we knew what we were getting in to with the cost.
Anyone else feeling a little guilty or having issues about their venue selection.
