Hey ladies,
Fiance and I have been looking at the LBJ wildflower center for a while and are (were??) pretty much ready to put our deposit down...but now future hubby (who is the one handling the $$, since i'm still in school) is worried that it will be too expensive, since the venue doesn't include tables, chairs, etc....and we'd need to get our own liability insurance, plus whatever other costs we may incur since its not a site that specifically caters to weddings.
Now we have started looking at Cedar Bend Event Center, which for our preferred day is about $1000 cheaper AND includes tables and chairs (we'd still need to rent linens/china)...but I guess I had my heart set on the wildflower center, since he originally said we could totally afford it.
Well, he saw how disappointed I was and is willing to put in OT at work to make up the difference so we can get the venue of our dreams (he is in love with it too)...but I guess my question is....is it worth it?
Have any of you ladies "settled" on a cheaper venue and regretted it??
Also, any reviews / thoughts on Cedar Bend? I know they are relatively new, but I can't find much info on them.
Sorry for the novel...but i'd appreciate input!
