I can't remember for the life of me which E reg had to scramble to find a new venue due to hers closing... so who was it?! I'd love to pick your brain. Got word tonight that my venue was just bought out by a local hospital to expand their medical buildings and my venue will be closing. I have not yet confirmed this myself, though the town's chamber of commerce has confirmed that it was sold. I'm swinging by tomorrow to get a straight answer on whether they'll be open come August (and if not, when we can expect our $2000 deposit back), and my mom (who is graciously paying for everything) is getting in touch with the hotel that shares a parking lot with the venue, as they called today but just left a "please call us back" message. So it looks like I'm 7 months out with everything booked/deposits down (DJ, florist, photographer, hair stylist, makeup artist, etc.) with no ceremony or reception venue. And perhaps the most frustrating part is that I talked to my wedding coordinator (with the venue) last week about the next deposit and scheduling a tasting, and there was no mention that the property was for sale/under contract.
