Location, Location, Location

Well this weekend did not turn out to be blessed in the location selection.  We started Saturday morning with seven locations to check out.  Here's how that went:

• Three locations only held 75 people
• One was $3,700!!  with nothing included!
• One had a wedding so we scheduled an appt for Sunday
• One Inn is in the middle of town and the site is loud because of traffic

So on Sunday we visited this quaint little garden/inn.  The ceremony would be held at the Wisteria Arbor.  It was so antique-y and pretty until you started noticing little things.  The only plus is that for the rental cost everything is included! (tables, chairs, location, plates, glasses, silverware, etc..)

Back to square one and running out of locations to look at!  We might be a little picky as well. We would like to find a space that is outside but also has a alternate building in case of rain or where the reception could be held.  We would like to have it all in one place and not ask our guests to drive around.  And most importantly be reasonably priced! So we are asking for a lot!

I should mention that week we looked at a beautiful Garden but was unsure of the people being able to walk around the gardens during the ceremony.  We had a lot of discussion about that today and would really hope that people were respectful of the 20-30 minute ceremony.  I love love love this garden.


and what does the mr. say when I start to get down about finding a location....."wherever you want is fine, the location isn't what matters" :)

Back to the search this week.  We hope to have a location in the next couple of weeks.
