How many times did you view the venue before you actually signed the contract? 2nd viewing..showed parents..food tasting..negotiating..etc.
We went alone the first time and then we scheduled a second appointment to show our parents/negotiate. After we knew everyone loved it as much as we did and confirmed the date with my church we signed the contact.
Thanks
Yeah, I think we went 3 times before booking. We went once with just us, then went back to do a tasting with his mom and my grandma, then I went back with my mom a third time. Then we booked.
We went once by ourselves, once with our parents, the after the decision was made, we confirmed the date with the church and went back a third time to book it :)
My FH knew the first time we went. We went to see two other venues but on our way back from the last one he looked at me and said, 'Let's make the call and set our date!'
We went 3 times. The first time we went with my parents, then FH and I went back with my mother and FMIL for a tasting which solidified the deal, then we went back to book and sign the contract.
We went twice. The first time we went alone & we already knew it was the one. The 2nd time we went with my mom & sister to see what they thought & they loved it also so we signed that day.
once and booked that day.
We went once and then called the following day to set the date.
We went to all of our apts with FHs parents. They are incredible-- super helpful, warm, fun, and have very good taste. They are splitting the cost with my parents so they have a lot of input. We loved the place but FH's mom didn't at first. She really wanted us to get married at a synagogue, but it wasn't us. We had my parents go the following week when they were in town but we didn't go with them. Then, we went back with FH's parents when we were almost 100% sure. We saw Bridgeview again, and we were all ecstatic. His mom (who I later found out probably went on her own another time as well) loved it just as much as we did. We booked that night.
We went once, and booked later that day.
Twice. One was the food tasting 2 weeks after we first looked.
