I wish someone would have warned me how stressful shopping for venues can be, I'm like giving myself anxiety and stalking my e-mails! LOL
I had three venues to look at yesterday and one tomorrow, but fiance and I both LOVED the first one we saw. The guy who was covering for the coordinator had our hopes us telling us that Saturday, September 5th was still open and that there was an interest on September, October 24th... basically the very last Saturdays of fall which we really want.
So I e-mail the lady and she replied within one minute that someone JUST YESTERDAY toured and immediately requested that date. Argh, so now I jumped on it telling her I'm ready to make a payment for October or maybe a Sunday of Labor Day, and I'm anxiously waiting to hear back from her to see if I got the dates. It's been like a day and I'm itching to call but I don't want to be that person. There were 4 Saturday dates open and within a span of 1 week they've been booking up so fast! I tried hard to get a tour earlier but she did not have any availability, so I guess this spot must be hot! I mean it's all inclusive, beautiful, great pricing, so I can see why.
Anyway, I told her in the e-mail at the last resort, I'd like to see a Friday availability if none of the dates I requested are available for me to book. I'm a bit sad now because I know Fridays can be an inconvenience to our guests, I'm not sure how many would miss the ceremony, and our party would have to probably call off work or request early off. At the same time, I'm trying to look on the bright side. There's very likely Friday dates open, I'll save almost $1,000, the more important people that care would show, and I usually ask for nothing and this is the ONE time of the year. We would be able to push the ceremony to 6:30 p.m., hopefully that would be enough time.
