Venue Plans

Posted Sunday, November 22, 2009 5:46 PM

For the last week and a bit I've been emailing with many different venues. I'm pretty sure I emailed 9 different venues, and from those 9, only 4 have written me back. I that that is honestly pretty sad. You would think that they would want business!? I guess I enjoy it when people are prompt. That means a lot to me when it's something so important to me.

One venue is already booked for the date I want, one is way to expensive. The other 2 are very good possibilities!

I got a response back from the Marquis Gardens in Ancaster. I'm very impressed with everything they have done so far. The lady I was emailing with was the only one to congratulate me on my engagment. I was impressed with that...LOL :) I would really like to have them as my reception site. It's very modern there, and I think it suits us really well; and their wedding package is really impressive. A lot of stuff is included in their price, so that's great for us! We have an appointment to go and see this venue this Wednesday. I'm super excited, and can't wait to go there. If all goes well, I would like to book the venue this Wednesday to insure that I'll get the date I want. That would lift a huge weight off my chest!

The other place that replied to me is the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington. It is so beautiful there, and there are so many different "gardens" there, so that is nice. We can hopefully have different looking pictures because of that. I would ideally love to have my wedding ceremony there with the wedding photos after or before. I haven't decided yet, do I want to have a traditional wedding where the groom and I see eachother first at the alter, or at photos.

We have time to figure all that out, but I'm really glad that things have fallen into place like this already. I'll let you know how things go!
