Same venue as friends?

I really don't see the problem given the time between the weddings. Go for it!

I dont see an issue with that. If you love the place go for it

No, they had their day there, now it's your day. There is a gap between and venues host weddings every week it's to expected that there situations like this. Venues rely on word of mouth or experiences like yours for business. I am sure you will be bringing your own tastes into the wedding so it won't be a copy of theirs.

There is no issue with it. I am getting married in Feb and in March my FH best friend is getting married in the same hall. I have talked to his fiancé and we have totally different weddings so even though many of the guests will overlap, and it is in the same venue I'm not concerned about one overshadowing the other or people comparing them. I get one day and they get one day so even if we had the same style of weddings no one has a right to be upset.

It sounds like a great venue! We are actually getting married at the same hotel where my cousin and his wife held their rehearsal dinner a couple years ago. Our whole family agreed the filet they served was the best filet we'd ever eaten and my cousin has said he's excited to get to eat that steak again. Go for it!

I don't see an issue.

They had their day and now you can have yours! If it's in your budget and you love it, I say book the venue!

No issue at all. As you might imagine, I"m in the same venues over and over, and they all take on a different ambiance depending on the decor, the menu, the time of year and day and the couples' decisions about the way the day will run.

I wouldn't worry about it at all!

I think it's great if you have attended a wedding at your venue before you commit to it. I can't possibly imagine anyone having a problem with it and don't find it weird at all!

I would advocate for using the same venue, especially since you know your friend had a great experience. Less risky that way. I don't think anyone would have a problem with that. In fact, a friend of mine was considering my venue for her wedding that would be about 6 months later - I told her I think she has great taste

I see no issue with that

Celia's right...I've been to quite a few venues over and over, and believe me, there's a different feeling with every couple. You're absolutely fine having a reception at the same place your friends did.

No. FHs cousin was married at the same place her sister is planning to get married at next year. We booked there too. Everyone loves the venue, and I feel there's no problem with it. We all get our special day.

Not at all! I've been to plenty of weddings at the same venue. Your wedding style and decor will make the place look and feel different anyway, and you have a leg up on planning from experiencing a wedding there!

No issue at all.
