Hi all! My fiance and I booked our venue shortly after we got engaged for a September 2022 wedding and took some time away from wedding planning. The venue is blank canvas industrial, and I have some event planning experience, so I was very excited that there was a lot left up to us to plan and design.
We are back in wedding planning mode, and I have been pretty frustrated with how unhelpful our venue has been with advising us on the next steps. We need to choose every vendor from catering to linens to transportation (no parking at the venue). We chose them in part because they have a lot of experienced and connected people working there, but they don't seem willing to use their resources or advise us. Additionally, they also have been showcasing couples who book weddings with them on social media and following their couples, and they seem to be ignoring us. At first, I thought it was because our wedding isn't until September 2022, but they are showcasing lots of 2022 couples online. Of course, I know there isn't necessarily a correlation between social media and helping us develop a vision and find vendors, but I feel that I am unimportant to them compared with other couples.
All that being said, I am toying with choosing another venue that takes some of the stress off of me to plan out all of these vendors and that is already more decorated. Even if the venue team is not helpful there, that would at least remove a lot of the stress I have been feeling. I loved the venue we chose long before we got engaged and we chose it. I appreciate any thoughts on how to proceed!
