R.H. -Need to vent!!

Original post by rahana316

I'm getting discouraged. Am I the only one who has NOT booked my R.H. yet??

I didn't realise this was going to be so time consuming.Some places I've called, my dates is booked.

Did all you 08 brides book your hall yet??

We were engaged for two days and ran to the hall and booked.....we knew the dates for next year were closing up...that's the biggest thing to get done. Good luck this weekend..hope it all works out.



Now you're getting me more scared.

I booked the first hall we had a month after we got engaged. I cancelled that and booked our new hall in March.

Thats so funny alot of girls did it before we got the ring, but you know what no one at the halls ever asked to see my ring or anything like that, so i never felt weird booking things without it.

I actually booked 2 weeks after I got engaged.. I know it sounds silly but I wanted that to be the first thing we figured out... yes most of the summer dates are booked but I'm sure there's a place that has something available.

I did book my hall, but I will agree that it is a very time consuming thing. My mom and I must have visited at least 20 halls on top of all the time I spent looking online. Just keep going at it and you will find something with your date available that you love!!!

we booked about 2 weeks after we got engaged but we didnt pick a date 1st. We didnt want to have a situation where we loved a place or had to go someplace we didnt want because of the date availibility. So we found the place and then chose the date by what they had left....as it was they only had 5 sat afternoons left in from April-Oct of 08

Re: R.H. -Need to vent!!

we looked at 6 places and I wanted May which only the Watermill had. I loved the place as soon as I saw it but still went to others. I found that looking at these places online helped me narrow it down.

Dont panic. You will find it and if you are flexible you may get a date they need to fill for a good price

We got engaged April 2006. I didn't look at halls until after Christmas. I booked the first one I looked at simply because I fell in love with it. We were hoping for 9/22 but they were booked so we made it 9/21. So don't worry. You'll be able to book a hall. It may not be the EXACT date you want, but you'll get married at a beautiful place you love.

you should really try to make a decision soon. the longer you wait, the harder it may be in my opinon. like mentioned above, 09 is booking up already too! good luck!

Ohhh really, thats awesome, good idea. I wanted that date too, my parents got married on the 7th so that would be perfect and its 678, lol but nothing available. So I choose #1, hahah #1



When did you look? We booked in Nov. too, the Sat. after Thanksgiving, and while we were looking, 06/07/08 was booked, @ some venues
