Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, so if this should go in a different category, please let me know!
Here's my dilema: I live in a smaller town and we are planning our wedding here; that means that there are limited venue options. There is one location that we LIKE (it's a barn loft), but it is NOT handicap accessable, AND we would have to rent tables and chairs WITH the venue,plus it's a little bit of a drive out-of-town, and knowing our extended families, driving out there won't be a problem, but we worry about their ability to drive safely home. There is another available location IN town (where a taxi service or shuttle would be more reasonable) but the venue is kind of crappy. It's basically a gym that you can rent out - and it LOOKS (and kind of smells) like a gym- complete with basketball hoops!
We are aiming for a vintage-country feel to our wedding and I am at a loss as to how to proceed! Do I take the venue that goes with our theme and the added hasstle of trying to decorate and transport people to the out of town venue -OR- should I make-do with the crappy venue and easier set-up/transport?
We have both locations reserved, but we will need to put down a deposit soon and I'm completely torn!!
