Re: How many places did you look at?

I went to 15 different places...

I made an index card on each place that I went to with pros and cons (what a waste of time)...
when you walk into the place where you are going to be married, you know its 'the place'.

We did not use a house florist, nor was 'forced' to...just another reason why we loved our RH!

Re: How many places did you look at?

So far we've been to 7. Its pretty much down to Crest Hollow and JT. I reallly want JT. He does too but its a little cheaper going with Crest. I dont care about a 1200.00 difference. I want JT. I think it'll be a better venue then Crest. The atmosphere is just better. IDK what to do. FH wants Crest I want JT. I will shed some tears if I have too. LOL And we still have 2 more appts on sunday..

Re: How many places did you look at?

Three. It was the first place we looked at that we loved so each one we looked at after was disappointing so we stopped looking!!

Re: How many places did you look at?

We looked at 4:

Old Field Club
DeSeversky Center
Milleridge Cottage
Harbor Club

We went to OFC first and were 99.9% sure we would book there but my mom said we should go to a few more just to make sure.

No..my hall does not require specific florists. But I know some halls do require you to book one of their house florists.

Re: How many places did you look at?


'0' LOL!

I have planned my wedding from overseas entirely via the internet. I would look at websites of different halls, narrow it down and make some calls, read reviews and look at photos and then if all looked good--send my parents to check it out. Only 2 made the cut.

When I found my place (online) I knew this was IT. I sent my parents over 2 hours away to look at it and it was perfect.

I am actually glad I was spared the headache of running around to look at places... I am so bad with making any type of decisions, so this way worked out well for me actually.
