    Have you explained to him why you don't think it will work? How did he respond to your concerns?

    Communication is one of the most important things in a marriage. So make sure you two can actually talk.

    Congrats on your engagement!
    I agree with PP.
    It is critical that you talk to him about it. Not a bunch of strangers.
    I would calmly explain to him that you would like to keep your options open right now.
    However, if that is the ONE thing he wants for the wedding, don't just shrug it off either.

    FI has wanted so few things to be what he wants or how he wants that I am MORE than happy to accomodate his needs.

    But, we have been *sure* to discuss these things and all of our options. Sometimes, I feel like he *won't* budge about things too. Maybe there is a reason he wants this venue? Just ask and discuss it. No sense in getting stressed and upset about something this early on.
    You need to make sure you discuss everything with your FI.

    "Im just not shore it will be able to work out in a practical manner. I am just trying to figgure out how to get him to atleast connsider other ideas. "

    What are you unsure about regarding practicality? Not large enough for your guest list, not flexible with vendors you want, too expensive, far away location, etc?  What is it exactly? 
    IF you two disagree on a place, you need to sit down and decide on what is important to you as far as a venue goes. What are your priorities (ex: H and I wanted to be able to bring in outside vendors, not have to buy alcohol FROM the site because that can be expensive, not feel too small or too huge for our guest list of 70, etc) 
    You two are going to disagree if you don't understand each other's priorities when looking at sites. 

    Also, how many have you looked at thus far? Is it possible he is stuck on one, just because he is tired of searching venues and wants to get the ball rolling?
