I recently got engaged, 11-30-11, and currently looking for a fun wedding venue.  I recently found the Profile Event Center and fell in love with the feel of it.  I love the wall drapings and how they can really transform the whole reception area.

Here's my issue.  My mom and I love it.  I went to go see it with my Dad, Stepmom, along with my future father and mother in law.  They all think I should keep looking - keep it on the list but see more places.

What do I do?  I've looked at one other place physically but have searched this site up and down looking at pictures of venues.  Do I follow my heart or the advice they are giving?

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!

    As someone who only looked at The Profile, I'm a little biased, but I think you should go with your gut. Does your FI like it as much as you do? Maybe look at a few other places just to make the rest of the family happy, but go ahead and check out available dates and what not at The Profile.

    I was looking for a "fun"venue as well, and out of all the places I researched online, the only one I liked enough to tour was the PEC, and I am very excited to have our reception there in May!

    I think you should go with how you feel about the place. That is how I felt with my venue, I just knew it was right for my wedding.

    I'm also having my reception at the PEC! I didn't physically look anywhere else but I did do a lot of price comparision. I'm also indecisive and overthink things so it took me a while to commit (we toured in July, booked in Oct). But if you love it, I say go for it! I've heard nothing but great things, so you won't be disappointed!

    Do what you feel is right.  I spent hours looking at venues online and crunching numbers.  I visited one and fell in love. I didn't want to look anywhere, so I booked. So happy I did.

    GL with your decision!

    I visited a couple venues and then went to the PEC and that was it for me. I couldn't believe there was another venue out there with so many options for me and it just felt right so I made my decision then. I'm very happy with it and getting married there in June! I say go with your gut. But of course you can go see a couple other places and compare it with the PEC. But check out dates--they fill up fast! We booked Feb 2011 for a Summer 2012 wedding and our date was our 3rd pick!

    While it never hurts to look at other places, I too agree with going with your gut. Can always compare prices and such online with other venues. I'd also consider who's paying for it, because if your parents or his parents are paying- they definitely get a say.

    I looked at 15 venues before I finally found mine and had the gut instinct that this is the one...so I would say, consider yourself lucky and go with your gut and save yourself some time!  :)

    Thanks Ladies! 

    I am going to look at a few more just to please others - but as of right now I dont see myself loving any place else like I do now.  My FI and I have come to an agreement that by this Saturday we will make up our minds. 

    My step-mom says "what if you find something else you like more?" and all I can think of is- if I say yes to this venue I wont be searching for one anymore... so how would I just stumble upon another venue if I'm not looking?  Grrrrr!

    I think I just need to go with my gut! :)
