as a person who's birthday is on new years eve, i'd say skip it :(. it's always overlooked and overshadowed.
FMIL went to a NYE wedding and LOVEEEED IT! She said it was so much fun! And she said she typically stays home on NYE and watches the ball drop and then goes to sleep but this got her out and she had a great time!
DH's uncle got married on NYE and it was AWESOME! we had the best time and so did everyone else!!
I personally love the idea...I think it would so much fun to go to a wedding on new years. But some people get weird about weddings on holidays...I've known people to complain about weddings on Memorial Day weekend, etc. But if you want to do it, screw everyone else and just go ahead and do it. Honestly, no matter what you do or when you do it, there will always be people giving their opinions about your wedding. Its a hard lesson, but you need to learn to ignore them and just do what you feel is right for you and your FH!
I think a NYE wedding would be gorgeous!!! One that EVERYONE will want to come to!!! As for budget... Where in Illinois are you having it? I am having mine in Ohio and I am finding fabulous vendors DIRT cheap( i feel bad for the girls on the East coast prices are SOO high for anything wedding there, that's why we decided to do it here instead of Boston).... I know it's different states but still the Midwest... unless of course you are having a Chicago wedding.... How did the venue 'back' out didn't you have a contract?
We just went to NEW YEARS wedding and it was GREAT!!! It gave us something to do on New Years and we would have spent the same amount of money anyway. We were with all our friends and had the best time! They put a TV at the head of the dance floor at Midnight and we all watched the ball drop!!! GREAT TIMES!!!! They gave out noise makers and hats right before midnight.
I love the idea of a NYE wedding, its actually what i wanted, but all the halls that i looked at all have parties for NYE and it was going to cost even more for us to do it. I think its a great idea because everyone has a great big party and celebration to go to on NYE.

I'll be a new years eve bride as well![]()
I for one hate weddings on long weekends, but if you think about it most long weekends are in the summer, which is when most people go on vacation or try to get to the beach. This is no where near the same. People are usually around there home during New Years and in search of a party!
New Years Eve is one of the most expensive nights to get married. Not only do most reception halls charge a high rate, but so do vendors such as bands and photographers.
I don't know anything about Staurt Thomas Manor, but try not to stress...
You will end up with a wonderful, memorable wedding![]()
