    I had my heart set on one even before we were engaged but they treated me badly, so I had to restart the search. I looked at dozens online, asked 30 for quotes, narrowed it down to 10, booked 5 appointments, and chose the second one. We canceled our other appointments.

    We requested information (quotes & available dates) from 43 venues. We toured 5, and ended up loving the first one!

    I did a ton of research online, but we went with the first and only one that we toured.

    Being secretive about what dates they had available, missing phone appointments and not calling me back, like I’m trying to give you $10k!! It was sentimental to me bc we went on a romantic getaway there when we first started dating. But I had to move on.

    Yes better sooner than later. My new venue is better anyway bc we get it for the whole weekend. We have to hire outside vendors and rentals but we’re working on it. It’s about the same price when you add it up.

    I made a list of 10 venues that I was potentially interested in. I showed my FH, and he ranked them 1-10. We both agreed on the same venue as our #1 choice. We only ended up touring 5 venues, and immediately after the 5th venue, we both knew our #1 pick was it!

    I phone and email interviewed about 10. I got price estimates for my event from about 6 that I liked. I then physically visited 5. I picked the 4th one I visited. Venue is everything!

    I asked 3 (maybe 4?) venues for information. One didn't allow alcohol so that was 0% not for us but also they shot themselves in the foot in their reply; so, I wouldn't have gone with them even if that was negotiable. We saw 2 in person and were going to tour a third but after not getting an email back from them in 2 business weeks I was no longer interested because that is not the kind of people I want to deal with when planning a wedding (and ps, I haven't heard from them to this day months later lol.)
    The second venue was the one. I sat on the decision for a month but I knew I wanted to be married there.

    I looked at a ton online, and emailed several for quotes. I knew the one I wanted before even getting engaged but unfortunately after seeing it in person I realized it was to small for my guest list, even though they said it would fit the dance floor was tiny. I went to a total of 6, the second one I looked at is the one I ended up choosing.

    I reached out to about 20 venues and my FH and I narrowed it down to about 8. We're having a small intimate wedding (around 30 ppl) so I big part of the venue-search for us was being able to accommodate a smaller wedding without a guest minimum. We have 4 tours set up with 2 front-runners!

    I looked (online) at about 10 or so. I made an appointment to look at 3. The one I went with was my least favorite one but having connections we were able to get it for only $250 which will financially allow me to transform it exactly the way I want it to. Sometimes, the right decorations can make any place look like your imagination.

    We researched and reached out to about seven, but only visited two. As soon as we left the second venue, I asked my Fh if we could turn around and book it- and we did! It was amazing because he admitted later on that he always pictured getting married there but didn’t want to say anything because he wanted me to love it as much as he did and not just because he loved it

    We did a lot of research but fell in love with the first one we visited. We put the deposit down a few days later Smiley smile
