Is This Normal

I'm leaving for NY the day after tomorrow.  I am seeing 5 venues and meeting with 5 vendors and also going dress shopping all within 4 days.  I am also going to do some tastings on a couple of different days.  I am feeling really anxious and overwhelmed.  Is this normal?  I have a wedding planner but I still feel anxious.

    It sounds like someone is organized! It does sound like a lot in a short amount of time, but if this is when you'll be in NY, it's great that you can get so much done.

    It definitely is a lot in a few days. But. since this is your only trip - you probably have to cram it all in. Just be sure to try to get some down time. Or maybe break things up a bit.

    Maybe spend ALL of one day looking at the venues. Just looking though- usually when you meet with the rep, they see you for an hour or hour and a half.

    Then a day of dress shopping (and to think about the venues you saw) and maybe narrow it down to your top three.

    Day three - visit those top three and have a tasting then.

    And then the next (final day) dress shop again.


    OR you could spend each day at a venue in the morning and dress shop in the afternoon. (Just leave enough time to get a chance to go back to your first choice before you head home)

    Or play it by ear. with whatever you are in the mood for.

    BUT it is a lot - but you'll get it done!

    (If you plan to come back in the next month or so, you could always put off the tasting part until then. And maybe also go back and revisit your top dresses. )

    Good luck! And have a fun and safe trip!

    Thanks for the great advice but my wedding planner made the schedule and this is when she is available.  I do plan on making some more trips up there before the wedding.  I wanted to do a tasting before booking a place.  I have to fit friends and family in there too.
