So here is my deal. We would like to get married in our church so I called up yesterday and have to wait for the deacon to call back. I have heard that numerous brides have had a problem getting in touch with this guy and that it can take weeks and weeks until you finally here from him. Now the other part is that my uncle works at Fox Hollow so we'll be getting married but he has said we need to book soon in order to get the discount he mentioned. Do I go to Fox Hollow and book a date and then wait and hope the church is open that day or do I wait for the church to call me back first?

Re: church or RH first
it's a hit or miss. we booked with the RH first then went to the church (and we booked a year and a half in advance) only to find that the date we booked was taken at church - every other weekend was open except for that one date!!!! luckily the RH had the next week available so we just changed the date with the RH. the priest seemed a bit disappointed that we booked with the RH first but who would've thought that of all the weekends, that ONE date would be taken at church!

If you'd be upset if you didn't get the church, then wait. If you have to go there, you might need to pay a visit to get a response.

We were flexible with churches so we booked our RH first. Luckily our date was open with our first choice church.

Re: church or RH first
church...not all rh's after booking may be able to switch ur date...but some will do a one week hold without money down, so that if someone wants your day they call u and give you first priority to book in 48 hrs or else then you lose it...but as my aunt told me sometimes its ok to be the 'skweeky wheel'...call the church again or show up to the rectory...

Re: church or RH first
We did the church first because we wanted to make sure they had it free and it was important for us to get married there.

Re: church or RH first
i would def say go to the church instead of waiting for that phone call back. It depends on whats more important to u too...if u really want that discunted price, book it soon!!

Re: church or RH first
Thanks everyone, FH has off Monday so we'll be heading down to the church if we haven't heard from them by then. Then the next day we'll be going to the bridal showcase at Fox Hollow to make sure it's absolutely where we want to have the reception. Crossing my fingers and hoping everything works out

Re: church or RH first
I booked the RH first.... I was someone flexible on my church, but ended up with my first pick. Keep in mind that often times the church will have several time slots for a wedding ceremony, so the chances of it being booked are somewhat slim. Also, you prob have a 30 day refund period with the RH, so you could always make a change if the church doesn't work out.
