It’s not really ours yet.
We realized that buying a house next year also means having to sell our condo which is going to be close to impossible in the Miami market. So we agreed to stay here for another 2 years or so.
That said we’re moving forward with a bigger wedding than expected (from only 15 guests to 80). We have looked at so many venues its not even funny. We played around with the idea of getting a house and made an appointment to see one in Miami (we live about 30 miles away). Anyway yesterday morning we had seen a banquet hall that we fell in love with and the idea of having a wedding under a tent in someone’s backyard didn’t seem too great.
That was until we saw it. The house itself is absolutely beautiful. The place is full of palm trees and every tree has spot lights that would be turned on at night. There’s a gorgeous pool right before getting to the tent and we are allowed to put things in the pool to decorate. It has that romantic, intimate mood lighting that I was looking for. The tent has keystone tile with 4 AC units and a number of ceiling fans. The ceremony and reception would be there.
The issue we’re having with it is that there are no parking spaces. Our guests would park in a shopping plaza parking lot that the facility rents and they also provide a shuttle over to the house. I’m not sure how I feel about this as it may be an inconvenience to our guests. The plaza is literally 1 mile away from the house so it isn’t that big of a deal and the lot will have 3 security guards BUT the shuttle only fits 15 at a time and I wouldn’t want people standing around waiting. And the second thing is that it is a little far from our home and where the majority of our guests live. 30 miles in South Florida could sometimes mean 25 minutes or 2 hours. Oh and everyone would have to sit on the grass during the ceremony. Do you think that''ll be an issue for the guests?
Anyway tell me what you think. I’m attaching some pics that are tiny from their site. I was going to take some photos while there but I felt weird being that it is their house which is silly LOL.
Sorry the pics are so small.
