    I have only posted a couple of times but ere goes. I am a litlle apprehensive about posting this info (and may or may not have hidden or falsified a few things) because there have been instances where a bride couldn't get the venue she wanted. So after somehow getting the brides info who had her desired venue she called posing as the bride and try to cancel. Hoping of course to be able to step into that venue. Fortunately the near victim had heard of this happening and had a password with her venue to prevent this. Just a little heads up.
