Help! Wedding Venue Etiquette Question

Jacqueline you should give us her email addy so we can all email her and tell her how ridiculously childish she's being *evil laugh*

Hahaha I would love to... but somehow I don't think that is being "the bigger person" as my mother told me. I appreciate the idea though

Lmao i wouldn't expect you to really do it :o)

Lol I don't think that I could, although, my sister said that she would get information from her and then we could incorporate into my wedding... I wouldn't do that either!

Well I lost my maid of honor of this exact thing. She got engaged after me. I had no idea that she was getting married at a particular place. A friend of mine suggested i check out the hall for more economic prices. We went and thought it was awesome. We booked and when i went home to call her and friends she told me that was where she is getting married. She has now accused me of "stealing" HER hall, i had to delete my facebook page because of her and her friends comments and ignorance and of course she is not speaking to me any longer and told me that i am not a friend and will never be a friend to anyone because friends don't cut throat like that. I am getting married in July - she is getting married in october. There are THREE DIFFERENT premises to get married at east wind. I will be at the Estate in July and she will be in the Mansion in October...I am at a loss for words....was i wrong folks?

Jacqueline enjoy your day and don't let this ruin the joy of planning for your special day!

You weren't wrong and I understand your loss of words. Wedding venues do hundreds of weddings a year, meaning, chances are someone you know has or will get married there. For Brides to feel like another bride is "stealing" their venue, is ridiculous. Unless this person literally owns the venue and doesn't allow anyone else to use it, then it's free game. Every bride is entitled to have their wedding where they want and to be happy. Don't let someone else ruin your happiness. As I am learning, if they were true friends, something like this wouldn't matter.

She's a spoiled brat and the attempt to cancel your wedding was proof. If I was the venue, and I knew a bride did that, I might think about calling her and telling her that she was not welcome at my venue and I would return her deposit. If she would do something like that, what else would she do that could impact my venue? I wouldn't want someone using my facility that I knew lied to me and tried to sabotage another wedding.

I agree with MJ Decor.

also, the venue is something with limited options and even more narrowed when you take into consideration location, size, options and $$$. now, bm dresses, cakes, colors...those could all change. even if your fav colors were the same, you could change the hue....

@ Sachele D....LOL....I mean, seriously who does that? I would NEVER think of preteding to be someone else & try and cancel their reservations.....once you've crossed that line there is NO going back!

@ Jacqueline M...like I said before good riddance....you've tried to be patient...but her time has just run out...apparently your former friend just doesnt get it...if she she doesnt want to talk to you any more, fine...peace out! With all of the bad karma she's spewing out, you're event is going to be absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!

BEST OF LUCK!!!!

I'm getting married at a very unique venue, I would LOVE to attend a wedding there before mine!!!! But, sadly I don't have any friends getting married there! Your ex friend is a total bridezilla who crossed the line, sad.

Congrats, I wish you a beautiful day.

She has involved our mothers and my sister in this ridiculousness. I hope that in time she will see that losing a friend over such a thing is not worth it, but in the meantime I am going to continue planning my wedding.
