Should i be communicating more with my venue?

Contact the venue to ease your nerves. Then you can ask them what their typical conversation style is and at what timeframes.

I wouldn’t hurt to reach out and do a walk through of the space- that would give you the assurance you’re all on the same page!

There is no harm in contacting them to discuss what you want, need, or expect.
But it is normal to go through spells of no communication.

It’s fine to reach out to them if it will make you feel better, but your venue likely isn’t going to contact you unless they have specific questions.

I think it depends on what the venue is providing. Our venue was a hotel so they provided the rooms for guests. They supplied the information about booking a room to us when we signed the contract so I just passed that information along to our guests. They also supplied the food and drinks, tables and chairs, linens, and uplighting. They gave us recommended vendors, but we weren't required to use them so most of the vendors I found on my own. Our venue sent us a 10 page document we filled out with all of the information for our wedding. They asked us about pretty much every little thing in that 10 page document. We had to have it completely filled out and emailed to our venue 2 months in advance. They then met with us 3 weeks (they normally meet with people 2 weeks before rather than 3, but my husband was in Alaska at the 2 week point) and 1 week before the wedding to make sure everything was good to go. We also did a walk through with our florist and tasting about 4 months prior. I would often email our venue with questions if there were things I wasn't sure about. If you have questions then feel free to reach out to them. I would definitely figure out what you are doing about hair and makeup and decorations.

Wouldn’t hurt to reach out! Every venue is different - I would just say you want to keep in touch more, maybe take another tour here and there

Call them or send them an email and ask them when would be the next appointment will be schedule to go over the lasr details.

Here's the last email our venue sent me regarding the same thing you are talking about..

I will typically meet up with our brides/grooms about 1 month before the wedding to gather details on time of ceremony/reception/rehearsal etc. I also typically ask for a rough guest count to see how you'd like tables and chairs set up.
If you are providing alcohol for your event, we can meet up anytime or schedule a phone call to discuss what type of beverages you'd like to have served and go over details of the beverage packages.

Don't panic, sweetie! It's normal to do so, yes, but it doesn't mean that there's anything worth worrying over! Take it from an anxious person, sometimes there really is no reason to worry.

It's normal to freak out anytime a big event draws near, and to also worry when things are going "too" well. Go through your checklist and see all the things that you have done, and all the things you haven't. And talk to your venue as much as you'd like. If you need to do a walk through, arrange to do so. And don't worry about meh venue coordinators, remember that, for them, weddings are totally everyday occurrences that don't warrant too much excitement.

Good luck!

I'm 3.5 months away from my wedding. We got engaged in March and I booked my important, big ticket vendors within a month of getting engaged. I haven't spoken to any of them in a few months. I think that's pretty normal. You can certainly reach out to them to discuss your vision.

Don't be nervous! To you, 6 months feels like no time, but for a lot of wedding vendors, that's still 24 Saturday's of potential weddings (not to mention other days, types of events, etc.)

Review your contract and see when they start needing things like final head count, other vendor contact info, etc. I would expect things to really pick up about 2 months before the wedding, but if it will calm those nerves to reach out now, shoot off that email!

Our venue set up a meeting a month before the wedding to go over details. I would check their policy.

We are still 10 months out, but if it wasn't for the monthly tastings I wouldn't hear from my venue. Once the holidays are over and there is a slight lull in the wedding seasons I will make an appointment to go over their inventory of things we can use decor wise, but that will have to come from me. She was very open that they are on the bride's schedule and that they would only really reach out with a problem or when deposits were due.

Thank you all! It was like pulling teeth, but we reached out to the venue manager and after A LOT of back and forth we finally got things situated. We even had a wedding date scare!! YIKES.

Thank you all again!!
