I received the awful news today from my banquet manager that my venue's lease is up in March and they are not renewing!!!!!!!!!!
They can offer me a spot at their other location, Atlantic Beach, for a 4pm-10:30pm Sunday Wedding. I don't want my guests running out of there cause they have work the next day. I WAS doing an 11:30-5 affair at the location that is closing.
Have to find a new venue. FML!!!!!!!

Imo, and I've worked at both NUMEROUS times, there's no comparison between Sands Atlantic and Sands Lido. Imo Sands Lido is 10000x's nicer and Sands Atlantic is a big B to get to.
I agree, you have plenty of time to find a different venue.
Unfortunately I did not know that. I've never been to the Sands Atlantic Beach. But I'm not interested in the later wedding time anyway.
They are willing to give me my money back.
I have another place in mind. Will keep you ladies updated. Thanks so much for the support!!

Re: My Venue Is Closinggggggggggg!!!!!!!!
I am rebooked!!!!!!!!! At Woodbury Country Club!!!!!!!!!!
Long story short...
Woodbury Country Club was my first choice to begin with, but originally my father was very adamant about having a kosher wedding. We couldn't afford to do kosher @ Woodbury, that's why I ended up booking at The Sands. Once the Sands bailed on me, I called my Dad and told him what had happened and explained to him that he is going to have budge on the 'kosherness', it's not like there are an overwhelming number of kosher halls out there and we are not so religious to begin with. My Dad agreed and I immediately called up Woodbury Country Club who still had my date available, six months later!!! Fate? It's a possibility. Things happen for a reason? Also a possibility.

OMG! I didn't know there was anyone else on here who was booked @ Lido!! Omg, we've been booked there for 6 months already! It's like how do I just immediately change my whole mind frame that I'm not getting married there?! The Sands was good for me for a lot of reasons as well. I think this has to be one of the worst things that ever happens to a bride!!! Good luck in finding your new hall!!!! Let me know if you need any help!!!

Re: My Venue Is Closinggggggggggg!!!!!!!!
I would recommend you having your wedding at the North Ritz Club. They only have one wedding at a time there so you can pick the start and end time. Speak with Nadine; she will give you a tour, answer all of your questions and will not pressure you to sign. We are so happy we booked there; they are 3 minutes away from Woodbury Country Club
