Hello there! My fiance and I got engaged at the end of February, went on vacation in March and overall enjoyed our newly engaged status. We started our venue search for ceremony and reception about three weeks ago. We've seen four places so far and haven't loved any of them. We vaguely liked only one. One place that I was really hopeful for, I HATED and ended up crying when I got home. How long did it take you to find your venue from research to final booking? And how do you know it's the right place? I've seen friends who have been engaged a shorter time than me find and book venues in less than a month. It's been really disheartening. I don't want to search for too long because then my ideal date won't be available.
