Okay that does it.

We need a venue sticky.  How should we go about it?  We can either:  everyone just list their venues with all the particulars (not here, we'll make a separate post for it if that's how you want to go) or  you guys can email me everything about your venues and I'll do it and I can make a separate document or web page and just post the link here on the forum.

What does everyone think?  I'm open to other ideas if you have them.  I just have never seen so many Help Me Pick a Venue posts in the year and a half I've been here as I have in just a couple of weeks.

    I think that would be awesome... It sure would have helped when I was trying to find one. 

    A nice one stop shop.  If people and list their pricing information too... that would be awesome.  I can't tell you how many times I emailed a venue to get the pricing just to find out it's not even in my price range to begin with.

    I think if we do a permanent post it should be something visible and easy to get to.

    I think all info should be emailed to you then compiled and put into some sort of logical order (arranged by location or capacity ect.)

    I'm not getting married in the area, but maybe make a quick questionnaire - Name, capacity, services provided, price range, and whatever else seems necessary, and then you could put together one document, maybe sorted by size or price?  Or even if it wasn't sorted, I think it would still be really helpful to have all the same questions answered about each one, kind of in the same format.  Look forward to seeing it :)

    You're awesome Stephie! We are very lucky to have someone as helpful as you...

    I'm in the email camp because a post could end up messy with contradictions. I'd love to help with anything you need!

    Thanks!

    I think you should do both email and open call thread for the venues but have everyone complete the same form.

    Example form:

    Venue Name:
    Contact info and website:
    Location:
    Capacity:
    Price:
    DIY/Prefered Vendor List:
    Notes:


    I don't know how big a thread like that would get but hosting it in another place would allow for people to comment on each one.

    I vote for E-mail -- I have a price breakdown from Ashton Gardens that it is detailed I don't have a clue how to post it!  I'm so glad I begged, pleaded, and threatened for it before I went for a venue visit!

    Ezzy, that's a good idea--maybe have a sticky that just has the very basics but then something more complex for people to go to if they see something that's in their price range, want more info. etc.


    The only problem is I am not technically savvy so not sure how I would do it once I compiled the info.  But I could find out.

    Also you could ask people to list some of the venues that they checked out. I don't think that you should include price because that could change. Really we should just have a list of venues, city, and contact info and maybe capacity IMO.

    I think we should include at least a price range because that is what frustrates most people--not knowing where to even start based on their budget.  And we would state that these prices were good as of 2010, or whatever.

    You could put a disclaimer saying that the price is subject to change. It would be good to give people an idea of what they may be dealing with as far as price.

    --Edit: Had the same thought!

    I agree price range as of 2010 or 2011 should be listed because I would have loved Piazza or ashton gardens but there was no way I could afford it.

    I agree, having a VENUE sticky as well as a separate sticky for CAKE, FLORIST, PHOTOG, VIDEOGRAPHER would be awesome too...but definitely the VENUE sticky is #1 on the list....Laughing

    I saw the thread already, but I wanted to post the suggestion to host a public form/spreadsheet on google docs that would be easily sortable by whatever it is you're looking for.
    All you (or someone else) would need to do is create the template (super easy btw) create the formw ith all the necessary info (location, price, catering, capacity, etc) and post the link for everyone.
    One link would be to enter information. The other would be to view the data.

    Actually, you'd pobably only need the latter if youset the sheet to allow any edits.

    Just an idea. :)
    Clever girl.
