Ok, some of you know that my husband and I have been married going on 5 years, we had to get married at a court house because at the time we couldn't afford the weddind we had always wanted. We were planning to get married in our church, but when I found out I was pregnant that kind of went out the window. I had found this place while we were still planning and I had completely fell in love with it. It was amazingly priced. They included any use of their china, silverware, glasses, etc. in the rental price. Well, like I said we didn't end up going that route.
Well, here is my dilema! We went to a few places, found one we really liked, put down a deposit and I kept having horrible dreams about the place so I got online one day and finally remembered the name of the venue. I saw the pictures online and I felt this is where it is supposed to be. I contacted the person in charge of the venue and they do have our date open. My husband and I are going to go look at it this monday or tuesday... But I am already covinced. So I am going to lay it all out for you and you guys tell me what you would do...
The place we already booked:
Tables and chairs
Use of any AV equipment
Charge $145 an hour.
CANNOT decorate the night before, we would have to rent the time we would need to decorate and on the weekends it is a mandatory 4 hour rental. We are already going to pay 1,655 and we will get 350 if there is no damage, but it is only from 1 pm til 10. The issue is, I won't be able to go and help because I will be getting married at exactly 1 pm.
The new place:
Tables and chairs
Use of China, silverware, etc
Will set up and take down
I believe that they will let us in the night before??
The rental is only 1,000 for the day
Oh and they have a dance floor! We would have to rent one for the other place!
I know it seems kind of like a done deal, but I want to know if this has happend to anyone else and if you would act on it if there was an opening. I don't know, it just feels right? I need advice!
