Super Fantastic News!

So FI & myself went to our reception venue last night.  We wanted to just ask questions, finalize plans & the menu.  Just get a feel for everything & pay up some.  Little back story, Indiana established a no smoking ban in July, so they had told me my quests couldn't go from reception hall to bar through the inside doors.  That they would have to go outside & around the building to get drinks.  Needless to say this was not ok with me & I kind of went off.  Which got us our own bar & bartender in the reception hall.  Well when we arrived yesterday I noticed new doors between the rooms.  So I asked.  Now our guests CAN go from hall to bar inside, so no need for an extra bartender.  Then I whip out the check book & go to write the check for the hall & she tells me the price.  I said no I want to pay it in full.  She says that is in full!!!  What!!!  They knocked the price of the room down to HALF!!!!!!!!  So we now only pay 1/2 of what we thought for the room, & they're throwing in the table clothes for free!!!!  YAY!!!!!!!!!

    Good comparison story!  My photographer gifted us the 2500.00 wedding shoot.....we are old friends...but I never expected this from her....I love the good stories that have come out of the wedding planning!

  • OH that is AWESOME! :)

    I am not a smoker, and as much as I appreciate not sitting by smokers at meals or whatever - our state has changed laws to non-smoking in general. It isn't an issue for us at our venue (we aren't serving alcohol anyway), but I can imagine the stress and the relief!

  • Awesome! What venue? (I'm and Indiana bride too! We're getting married at The Montage in Castleton)

    I'm a little relieved about the smoking ban. My cocktail hour is outside, and I think smoking would annoy most of my guests. And me.
  • Wow, you never hear of stories where things end up being that much cheaper!  Usually people are finding extra expenses they didn't expect!  That is great news for sure.
