    Change the venue. I've had my date picked since I was a small girl.

    I would change the date, already going through that. It is more difficult to find a good venue at an affordable price than a new date.

    Rain or shine, we are having our beach wedding. I’d change the date before I changed our “venue” Smiley smile

    I would rather change the date. I need a venue close to my family with limited traveling.

    If I only had to change it within a month or so I'd change my date. Any longer and I'd change venue!

    Date. The venue is our backyard so it will always be available but my brother being able to come is more important.

    If the venue I've chose was not available, I probably would change the date.

    Venue is harder to find, the date is easier to change.

    In that specific instance, I'd rather change my date.

    Though if it was a scenario of as of right now would you rather change your date or venue, I'd say venue. Sometimes I wonder if we choose too quickly, maybe should have spent more time figuring out what we really wanted out of our day. In the end, we went with reception, because that way I can get the father daughter dance I've always wanted...but deep down I wonder..was there another way? Now we have a $500 deposit down, so kind of stuck. That's a lot of money to us to waste. And some of our guests have already agree to make the trip, can't go back now.

    Lol can I change both?

    I had a lot of places on my venue list before my fiance helped me narrow it down. After scoring and ranking them, my dad decided on a place close to him since he took charge of planning until we hire an offish wedding planner.

    Now that we have both date & venue fixed, (in the Summer, Founders Inn & Spa) I'm dreading how hot its gonna be!! (UGH STAHP IT GLOBAL WARMING). And there were some beautiful locations I keep dreaming about out in the Appalachian Mountains that I love. I think it would be beautiful to have a wedding there in the Fall, when the leaves are changing color Smiley heart I'd also be able to wear a heavier dress with more embroidery on the sleeves (which I love!)
