Well, I think we finally have a ceremony/reception site! We went to two locations this weekend, both within our budgeted amount.. or at least as cheap as we could possibly find! Both are similar and have outdoor ceremony locations and inside reception. Place one is a little more expensive but I think the ceremony area is a little nicer. Place two has the ceremony in front of the location b/c it''s a country club and we can''t have our ceremony on the golf course during golf season. So although the pics of all the flowers (not there now) do look pretty, it''s still in an area where you can kind of see cars driving by. But it''s a golf course and very pretty in back so lots of picture taking opportunities. Place one doesn''t really have that. Also, place 2 has a patio area outside the reception room where they put tables and they suggested putting a kids table somewhere for coloring books, etc...
They both have many September dates available. As much as I love the idea of having my grama''s chocolate cake ( see the non-traditional cake thread), I think we will just go w/theirs. It''s only $2.50/person for place 1 and $2.00/person for cake 2. I also like the menu selections a little better at place 2.
So it''s seems we''ve decided on place 1 but I''m a little nervous about asking them to hold the date. Oh, the payment options are also better for place 2. Only a small amount upfront and then the rest the day of. Whereas place 1 is more upfront, 1/2 in a few months and the rest 5 days before. I also really liked the lady at place 2 and she seemed very willing to work w/what I want.
I''m excited! I think we''re going w/September 9th.
I didn''t realize this part would be a little scary! Anyone else feel a little fear when about to book a site? It definitely feels real now. I''m getting married!!
