I am thinking of changing my date.... the reasons that I chose a July date are no longer valid, and now the date might actually be conflicting... Does anyone know how May/June rates compare to July?
ETA: So I went to Westbury manor today, andthey told me the rates are the same.. What do you girls think of May 28th? Thats the sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I think its nice people won't have to worry about work on Monday. My mom is worried that people will be ticked off they can't plan vacations for that weekend.

Re: Thinking of changing my date *UPDATED*
Ok, keep in mind I'm biased because I'm getting married the Sunday of 4th of July weekend, but I think holiday weekend weddings are nice. For us, more than half our guests are out of towners and this gives them a lot of travel time, they won't have to take off of work, and we're planning lots of activites - dinners, brunches, etc. There's always going to be a weekend that doesn't work for people. Pick the weekend you want, and don't worry, everyone will be there!

My parents said the same thing when I wanted to have it 4th of july weekend, and originally had July 2 booked, but a few of my family members made comments about not being able to go away that weekend now, I ended up making it a week later, making alot more people happy... I know everyone said that you should what makes you happy, but the last thing you want is unhappy guests..i dont know just my opinion

Re: Thinking of changing my date *UPDATED*
i think if its the same price go for it. i'm sure everyone will know about your wedding well in advance and we make their plans accordingly. and honestly, if you had to wait for a day that was good for EVERYONE, you'd never get married. think of you and fh first and let whoever is going to whine about it, whine about it. good luck with whatever you choose.
