[QUOTE]Seriously OP, I think you'd be a lot better off using CMGr's version. It's well written.

Thank you for your reply!

I will shorten my letter and give it a try. I have other plans if the answer is a final and formal "No". Thanks for your time! =)

[QUOTE]Just call and ask. However, if they don't normally do weddings they probably wont let you do it there. It isn't a matter of being mean or making money, but liability and staff. I work at an open to the public not for profit and we rent our facilities for small events, but not weddings. We don't have the staff to support all the extra comings and goings of a wedding and we do have the insurance. Weddings are a big pain, more so than family reunions or business conferences.

Natalie, please just call them. You asked a long time ago and they could have changed their policy. The person you asked may not have known or may have thought you wanted a whole reception there instead of just a short ceremony. First step is take make sure that they would even say no.

Also, using letters as correspondence is becoming less and less common. Honestly, if I get a letter at my business, it takes me weeks before I even open it, because it is never, ever anything relevant. Anything relevant and time-sensitive comes in via phone or e-mail. If you are truly concerned about getting your whole story out without interruption, find their e-mail and send it.

I don't think the answer is going to be different whether you call, e-mail, send a letter that sounds whiny, or send a letter that sounds super business-like and intelligent. If they have a policy, they are not going to break it for a non-famous/non-connected (I'm assuming) person's wedding. A sob story would be that you were about to die from cancer and your last wish is to have a wedding there, not just that you happen to like the location.

Thank you so much for your reply! I think you're right about sending a letter, I might either send an email or call. Thanks again for the help!
