My FH and I chose our venue - we absolutely love it! It's everything I imagined/wanted in a venue. It goes perfectly with our rustic theme, they allow us to bring in outside alcohol, allow us to bring live entertainment and has the space for both our ceremony and reception. We had seen other venues before/after we saw our chosen one, and they never felt right and I couldn't envision myself getting married there - so we booked it.
The only con that I have with this venue, is that it ends at 10pm. My FH and I don't mind the 10pm end time - we knew about it prior to signing the contract. Our plan is to have an after party with our closest friends/family members/whoever is up for it (I know the older crowd will want to go home lol). So, again, we are totally fine with it, but we've already gotten faces and comments made about it ending "too early".
How do I go about not feeling bad about the early end time? And how do I approach people that are making negative comments/gestures? I don't want their negative comments to get to me and then me regret the venue! ugh!
