Hello all! I am new to WW and have been stressing the past few days over choosing a venue.
We have 2 to choose from - Venue #1 is local to us (and very close for most guests), near the water and the beach, which is where we want to take pictures. We have been to many weddings here - a close friend of mine works here and has also given us an amazing deal for a Saturday wedding. The main thing that keep sticking out to me is that many of my friends have gotten married here - they would not care if I also got married here, but it just feels like the same thing. However, it has always been an amazing time, food is great and my friend will also probably throw in a few extra things for us.
Venue #2 is about 50 minutes away on a golf course, so would also be further for most of our guests, and we would not be able to take pictures on the beach. We have never been to a wedding here before. The place is also beautiful and has great ratings. However, prices are super expensive, so would need to get married on a Friday, which ideally we would not prefer.
I'm having such a tough time - I keep going back and forth - I have a hold on 10/1/2022 for Venue #1 because there are only 2 Saturday's left, so need to make a decision by this upcoming Saturday. I know if we do it at Venue #1 we can make it our own and of course decorate the room differently. I think we'd maybe even save some money and be able to get a band vs. DJ.
Any opinions are welcome!!
Thank you!
Karen
