    Venue all the way. If I could afford to change my venue I would. not because it isn't beautiful, but because they are a pain in my butt. they over charge, change prices, and really just make everything difficult.

    also I don't want to change my date AGAIN! lol and it is our 5 year anniversary

    I would change the date! We just had a season in mind and wanted a Saturday. We looooove our venue, so we wouldn’t want to change that!

    I love my venue so much and already have personalized items with the date. It would have to change the date though, even though I hopefully never have to!

    I would change the date, our venue is amazing and our date has no significant meaning just has to be in the fall.

    Date! We loved our venue. We actually were looking at last Monday in March (12 months before our wedding) and while negotiating a corporate event grabbed our date. So, we booked the week before... ended up being spring equinox which was pretty cool! A “new beginning.”

    Change the venue. The date we chose was based on when my dad could make it.

    Date for sure - any day you get married will become special to you anyways because it'll be your anniversary!

    FH and I picked a general few weeks in which we'd like to get married, and then found a Saturday in that range that our dream venue had available. We figured whatever the date ended up being, it'd end up being our anniversary anyways so it'd become special. In fact, we made sure not to overlap with any dates we already celebrate because it can never hurt to have one more occasion to celebrate during the year!

    I would rather change the date. My fiancé and I have a reasoning for the date we chose but it doesn’t HAVE to be that day. Our venue is beautiful on the water overlooking both the whitestone and throggs neck bridge and I wouldn’t want to change that.

    Venue. Our date falls on our anniversary. We were very close to calling it quits on a venue because everything was booked for our date when we found the perfect venue with our date available. Things seem to have fallen into place.

    Change the venue! I feel like I could make any venue my dream venue if I try hard enough.

    Change the date... As long as I can still get it in the right season..


    I would rather have all of my parent's friends instead of my co-workers.

    Change the date, we have a couple important dates we wanted to get married on. The Venue had to fit one of those date.
