Show me Photos of your Venue!!

Taylor, on January 28, 2020 at 9:28 AM Posted in Planning 1 29

Good morning, lovely ladies! I've been obsessively looking at photos of my venue on their Facebook/Instagram to figure out layouts, decor needed, and seating arrangements. I'd love to see photos of your venue! Did you pick it because of the "look" or because of a logistical reason? For us, the venue we chose had that rustic vibe we wanted but also gave us the vendor freedom that we were looking for. We aren't constrained to a list of 5 caterers which has helped tremendously in cutting costs. What are some of the reasoning points that helped you choose? What is cosmetically your favorite part??

    Yours is so beautiful! I love the high ceilings. This is our church and reception venue. We chose based on sentimental reasons (this was my church growing up) and the reception venue due to a combination of price and looks. We couldn't be happier with our choices!

    Here is my venue! Villa Borghese in wappingers Falls. We chose it for the look and also for how easy it is to customize there.

    I looove the chandeliers in your venue!! We picked ours because we love the rustic look, wanted lots of space for guests to enjoy the scenery and we can have our ceremony and reception at the same place. Show me Photos of your Venue!! 8

    Yessss! I'm all about the outdoor venues! I would have done this if my FH weren't such a hot blooded individual. Hot Texas days and a sweating groom wouldn't have made for pretty photos. LOL Your wedding is going to be so beautiful! I can't wait to see photosSmiley smile

    It’s a long story. They just treated us like garbage throughout the entire process. Messed up our contract repeatedly in ways that would’ve resulted in us being seriously overcharged if I hadn’t caught it( like, by thousands of dollars). Not sure if it was deliberately malicious and sneaky, or if they were just stupid... They also tried to get me to give up my bridal suite for another bride when I already had it reserved. They promised me we could do a consumption bar with a limit on it, and then 5 weeks before the wedding told me we couldn’t put a limit on it. Wouldn’t let me add a limit until I said “fine then we’ll just have a dry wedding” and suddenly they were able to manage to put a limit on it 🙄 The main coordinator was just so hostile and rude and she put me in tears one time because it was yet another incidence of them having given me information, me reminding them of what they said, and then her denying what we had been told. “We never said that!” was their favorite line, even though I had thorough notes, AND some of the things they denied were even in the contract. Also a bridal assistant/day of coordinator was part of the wedding package and on the day of the wedding they just didn’t have one show up for me. Also the coordinator didn’t show up to my rehearsal because she had to take her daughter’s dog to the vet at noon (the rehearsal was at 3:30). It was just overall a giant stressful mess and we felt like second class citizens the entire planning process and even during the wedding itself (though on my wedding day I was so happy that I chose not to let it bother me as much as it could have).


    I think they were annoyed that we weren’t spending as much money as most of their weddings. However when we toured the venue for the first time and saw the pricing, we said “sorry we can’t afford this, thank you for your time” and literally got up to leave, but the coordinator convinced us to stay and told us they could work with us and come up with a package that would fit our budget. So like, we were very upfront about our budget, if we weren’t going to be spending enough money for them to be happy about it, they should’ve just let us walk out.

    Oh my!!! That DOES sound like a nightmare! What comes around goes around. Their poor etiquette and communication skills will bite them in the butt eventually! So sorry you had to deal with such rude people Smiley surprise

    Haha, thanks I hope so! I try to just focus on the good of our day... we really did have a pretty near-perfect day (you know, as perfect as any wedding day can be). But it was NOT because of them, more like in spite of them 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Oh man, that is so awful. Did you fight for some money back? Sounds like they broke the contract with no coordinator. I hope you left very honest reviews everywhere you could. Sorry that was your experience, but at least you enjoyed your day!

    Here is our venue! We chose it for the view, and the beautiful permanent tent they have. It incorporates everything I was hoping for, a stunning outside ceremony, and tented/ballroom reception. Hoping for some amazing foliage shots! These are not our photos, but from their site:

    No, honestly I spent so much time arguing with them throughout the process that so much of planning my wedding was just miserable because of them... then we had an absolutely wonderful day in spite of them, and I felt like if I tried to fight with them about getting some money back, it would just leave me with a negative taste on the whole experience, when I was actually leaving the wedding feeling on a positive note, so I just wanted to keep it like that. I thought about it for a while, but in the end it just wasn’t worth any more time and stress for me. Plus it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway.


    But I left thorough and honest reviews lol
