Postpone or Keep the date!

Kres, on January 21, 2021 at 2:44 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 6

My wedding is in March and I found out just a couple days ago that my venue has been closed all this time due to Covid. I have the option to keep our date or choose an alternative location. The alternative venue is $1800 more than our original + now we'll need a tent which adds more the cost. We have the funds, but I don't believe we should "go for broke".

    Is that the only alternative venue in your area? Take at look at peerspace.com or eventective.com for venue options. The venue should have informed you about the closure. Make sure to mention that in a review. It depends on if you're committed to that date or flexible with an alternative..hopefully less expensive elsewhere.

    That is the cheapest alternative in my location. As a local resident, I've searched high and low. You're absolutely right..the venue should have and it is completely unprofessional and rude! Unfortunately, I cannot submit a review as it's a community center type of venue.

    They would still have a business listing on GoogleMaps and Yelp which many people use the reviews.


    Weigh out the pros and cons of each and follow your gut.
