Milestone For The 2nd Time

I would say it would depend on how far your guests are used to traveling for stuff. I grew up in VT where EVERYTHING is 30 minutes away, so driving that long is fine for me. But here in Denver, if you tell someone they have to drive 30 minutes they act like you just told them their dog died. So think about your guests and what they’re accustomed to.

Congrats! That is awesome. Does this place have a backyard where you can eat there and cater out?

OMG! That makes sense though. I didn't even think about it that way.

They have a yard but unfortunately it's either their elopement package or a full wedding which we refuse to do because we're not paying 10k for anything less than 100 guests

Oh that is lame. Well the place I am checking out this Sunday I dunno if we will have time to dine there as we only get use for 3 hours so may just take them to a restaurant but it will be a Sunday. Look up community centers with nice dining venues or check event halls in your area.

I actually got in touch with an banquet hall that's not too far but I just came across another space that I think would be pretty cool to have it and we have a tour on Monday. It's about 10 mins away though and although I don't think it's far, I'm not sure if anyone else would think so.

We live in Georgia, where everything is 30 to 45 minutes away (we do not stay in the city). When my brother got married in 2015 the distance between the church and the reception was about 30 minutes and everyone was fine. I think as long as your guest know that they are being fed when they arrive to the reception site, they will be fine.

Congrats. I am so happy everything is falling into place four you two.

As far as the distance, I say no more than 10-20 min drive. But I don't know the area. Place in California are so much farther from one another than they are in Texas,

View Quoted Comment Oh wow! I can understand that. Our ceremony location is about 20-30 mins away from our house but we're not trying to look anything further than 15 mins at most (since we'll already be in the city for the ceremony).

View Quoted Comment True. Our new venue is here in Vegas now and it's downtown so there's plenty of close by things. Just not all of them we care for. We were planning on no more than 15 mins tops.



It just has to be a place we both like. If nothing else, we'll look into the 20 min range and see if we like anything else.

Thanks

Awesome. It is all working out for you.

View Quoted Comment So far so good. I just really don't want a repeat and have to cancel again. That was extremely painful and depressing.

View Quoted Comment

I imagine it was. I'm sorry.

View Quoted Comment Thank you. Very very very slowly I'm trying to get over it. It was my dream wedding so it's really hard but at least we were able to find an alternative we both like so trying to stay positive.

Yes, stay positive.
