Anxiety over Venue

Stop following them on instagram.

You paid your money, you signed the contract. That's your venue. You are having buyer's remorse because you are constantly exposed to other options. Stop exposing yourself to other options.

Spend some time looking at more photos of your venue. You may find that you really are happy with it. Maybe stop following the local designers and photographers. Look up more general design inspiration so that you don't keep second guessing decisions you have already made. Too much information can be so much more stressful than too little.

I had to stop looking once we booked or I would have driven myself crazy. Like @txncdelphia stated stop looking at other options.

We had the reverse problem. Booked two venues (one for ceremony and one for receptions) because FH didn't want to get married "at a restaurant." So I booked a botanical garden to appease him because it didn't really matter to me. As planning goes on, we realize traveling between the two locations will be a logistical nightmare, and we'll be forced to have a few hour gap. We ended up cancelling the garden and are now happily back to getting married "at a restaurant." Moral of the story is DON'T read too much into your #1 vs #2 venue (or anything for that matter) because at the end of the day, you're going to have the BEST WEDDING EVER. It doesn't have to be PERFECT, it just has to be GOOD ENOUGH was my mantra while planning.

@txncdelphia and @rosered so true, I love insta but I'm going to stop sabotaging myself.

@smox thank you for reminding of that very important fact. You definitely helped assuage my doubts.

I should have posted this at 3 am and gotten some sleep! I can always count on WW for great advice and support.

I agree with everyone! go with your first choice. it's hard to not think about it, but try to put on blinders. Once I booked/bought things I didn't look at any other options. no point in shoulda woulda coulda. You're marrying your love! and it will be beautiful. try to focus on things you can still control! good luck

I experienced something similar with our venue. It's close to what I'd consider my dream venue, even. I had buyers remorse because of the price, even though it was in budget, and the fact that the only thing included was tables and chairs.

Another venue we looked at would have been way, way cheaper and included everything we needed. But it certainly wasn't as nice and we'd definitely be settling.

I bit the bullet and decided that I truly loved the venue we already paid for. Like @rosered suggested, I looked at more photos of my venue styled for different weddings to confirm I made the right decision.

Buyers remorse is normal, but you don't need to buy into it.

Why do people keep looking when they've found what they want? I literally don't understand this. Maybe that's why I don't get buyers remorse. Make your decision, love it and don't look back.

Had this issue too, but we had already paid in full. Go visit your venue, that's what FH made me do and I remembered why we picked it in the first place. It's not worth changing at this point if you can't get your deposit back.
