Venue —- i don’t know what is wrong with me!

Edit — We talked with the owner not lender lol.

I think that makes sense though that you’re doubting your choice cause it IS a lot of $. I remember I for sure went thru periods where I was not sure I wanted to spend so much on a single day.

View Quoted Comment Did you invest the money anyway or find a cheaper option?

View Quoted Comment We ended up actually hiking our budget up ahaha. I don’t regret it because we had such a beautiful day and it was within our means. It’s just sometimes a lot of second guessing ya know? Which I understand cause it’s sometimes intimidating to think about the cost of things

Only spend what you feel comfortable with, whether that’s a lot or a little. The engagement period may seem long but the wedding day literally flies by. So, if you’re hesitant or if you think you’ll feel financial regret afterward, then keep looking.

Hey🥰 I was in the same boat tbh. My family was also very harsh about the price even though my fiancé and I would be paying for 90% of the wedding since we saved up for it and also it being an 1 hour and 20 minutes away. At the end of the day it was our dream wedding venue and it included so much we just couldn't let it pass. We both did thorough research on other venues and none could compare to our venue we both had our hearts set to. I truly believe that if that is your dream venue for you and your fiancé and it is within your budget their is nothing wrong with spending on your big day ❤️ the memories and union is worth so much more than settling short because of a budget. Again as long as it is within your range and you both can agree on it. At first our families were so against it because of the amount and everything but when we made our choice they eventually let go of the idea of the price and instead started raving about how stunning the venue was. We both couldn't have imagined settling for another venue and our coordinator was so kind and comforting helping us finalize our contract and reassurance of safety if we needed to change the date due to Covid-19. Follow your hearts and I'm sure you both will have such a beautiful wedding day wherever you both choose it to be💞 I hope this brings some comfort to you 😀

If you’re not comfortable spending so much money, don’t! It is one day after all and your marriage is whats most important. No need to go into debt over a wedding

My fiancé was the same way. We toured what is now our venue and we both loved it. However, he couldn’t get around the price point and was trying to figure out how much extra he would have to work in order to even afford it. When my mom heard how much we loved it, she flat out said she wouldn’t attend a wedding anywhere else. And promptly sent us a check in the mail that covered the deposit and a little bit more. She really has been great and I am very grateful that she’s in a position to help me like that. I know not everyone has that.
If you both love the venue, and it’s in your budget, then I say go for it. You can always make other things less expensive to help balance it out.

I think finances are something that is on all of our minds right now. Take a good look at your wedding and life finances and see if this location and the wedding that will follow, will be something you can comfortably enjoy. We went with a location that was basically all inclusive and that helped to save us some money and still have our wedding in a dream spot. We have been saving elsewhere and had a long engagement to help offset the costs involved as well.

I know how feel. We didn’t really have a budget, but I didn’t want to spend too much.
Luckily, we did not have to put a deposit for the venue, just a reservation. So we are spending on food, photography, floral, and decor.
Now, we are just having a celebration with us and our parents. We had to modify some our choices to accommodate our tiny new event because I still want it to look bridal. I’ve seen people still make their day look nice with groom, bride, and a park. In the end, it’s really up to you what you want. Once you make a decision, then you can roll with other decisions.
