The search is FINALLY over!! 
We just booked at The Elements. 
It was more than what we wanted but I know it is worth it!
I am so excited, i love it there. She makes everything seem so easy! 
Is anyone else getting married there?

So what is next? Any suggestions? I have a lot of time so I don't want to rush into anything. I just wanted to make sure we had our venue!

    Get your photographer nailed down! That is the next huge thing! Followed by your dress, dj, videographer, etc. I have a great photog for you if you are looking. PM me if you want the info.

    Glad you got your venue! That's huge!

    Congrats! Definitely get the dress if you haven't already....some dresses can take around 6 months to come in. Check out photographers too.

    Michelle - is that your REAL full name you are using for your knottie name? If so, you may want to consider changing it to mask your identity, there are some creepers out there! Just trying to help out :)

    Congrats on the venue!! That's a huge check off the list!

    Hi!  I saw that you aren't getting married until 2012 but a bit of advice on booking your people now.  If you wait until after the first of the year to book, people usually raise their prices.  You could save several hundreds with your photographer, videographer, etc, if you book before the year is out!  :)  Just thought I'd give you that tip!  
    Congrats!!!

    Any recommendations on Photographers or Djs? My venue did give me a list of referrals and I will be contacting them. 

    I am going to Davids Bridal and Cincinnati Bride to look at dresses. Any suggestions on anywhere else? Should we do tuxedos at the same time?

    GoBucksOh, I never thought of that or realized that there maybe crazy people out there on these wedding websites.  I will get that taken care of!

    Do you recommend getting a videographer? I don't know if that expense is really worth it for us right now.  How much do they usually range?

    Michelle, I worked with Connie at European Bridal and she was phenomenal!  I had my dress in an hour and really felt like her only priority at that moment.  Also tried David's but felt like I had to work hard to get help.  Good luck!

    I also worked with Connie at European Bridal and ordered my dress there. They have beautiful dresses, but they do take a while to come in. I ordered mine the first weekend in June and it wont be here til December.
