I always envisioned having my wedding reception in a grand ballroom, attached to a terrace. I also always envisioned having an “Italian Romance” theme. We picked the venue we did for three reasons: it embodies the Italian romance theme because it has beautiful European architecture and cobblestone stairs, it’s not as expensive as your typical reception venue, and it offers a free honeymoon suite to the bride and groom.
FH and I were sold but I can’t stop thinking about another venue that wasn’t available on our date. It dawned on me yesterday that we could have justChanged our date, but now it’s too late because our Save the Dates are already printed. I love this venue but it doesn’t have the grand ballroomI always dreamed of and it’s 100% outside.
I discussed cancelling it with FH (we get 50% of what we’ve paid back if we cancel now) but he’s not down. He really likes that it’s not your typical venue for what’s available in our budget. How have you handled Venue regret?
Here are some photos of our venue.
Give me your thoughts please!
