So a mini rant again lol. Since no one else really understands the struggle. We had booked a venue and paid the retainer (luckily it wasn't much) and had started the search for the rest of our vendor team. Well the venue reached out to us 2 days ago and said that they have decided that they are going to start requiring brides to use wedding planners/DOC (was NOT in the original contract) and here is a revised contract for us to sign and we have 60 days to provide them the name of our wedding planner/DOC. Well I spent a few days researching available DOC in the area and it just doesn't fit into our budget at all. So the venue gave us our retainer back. Basically we are back at square one. I am so frustrated and just over it. I was so happy to finally have found a venue that accepts us and semi-fits the vibe (we did have to give up some of what we wanted) and now we have to start all over.
If you made it this far thank you for listening lol I just needed to vent to someone who would understand.
