Help! Dont know what to do

Original post by soontoobemrsk

So I have a really big dilemna. I have two choices in halls. Both have the same positives and each has one negative.

The First Choice - Negative: Located in the Hudson Valley (2 hours from my house and have to go through the city=traffic to get there). Would have to either travel there all the time to meet with each vendor or book vendors here and have them travel there (this will add a lot of expense.

The Second Choice - Negative: His parents are kosher. We would be able to bring in a kosher caterer, but the wine would have to be non-kosher bc it would be at a vineyard. The kosher caterer would be allowed to bring in kosher beer and alcohol.

Which do you think I should go with and why?

TIA!

i like the second choice. i think it will be easier on expense and travel.

his family, are they big wine drinkers anyway? just tell them this was the choice that fit best with what you wanted and budget, you cant please everyone. maybe you can bring in kosher wine?

A lot of places will also just bring in a few kosher meals if you have a few people who are kosher. There are TONS of places on LI who will do kosher weddings in a reasonable budget.

Out of curiosity, why are you so opposed to temples? There are some really beautiful ones out there. I've been looking the past few weeks, and I promise, many of them beat traditional RHs.

Thats just the problem...I dont like traditional rhs or temples. I've just never pictures myself getting married in a temple or having my reception in a temple. I'm not religious and its just not me. No offense to anyone who is having it at a temple. I've been to some beautiful temples and temple weddings too, its just not who i am.

Thanks for the advice ladies!
