Looking for some reassurance.......

If I'm honest, for us once we knew we knew and there were no doubts, but I know others haven't had that same 'the one' feeling.

I did because i kept thinking what if we book it and find somewhere better or a better deal somewhere else. What if our guests don't like it etc but once it is booked. I seemed to relax a bit. Then more worries hit me but i have done about 4 trips to the venue since we put a deposit down and the more i have gone (at different times in the day with different people in the family for a coffee) the more i have realised what it was that made us want it in the first place! If you both like it i say go for it.

You might be over thinking it. Are you happy with the location? Is it the right size for the amount of guests you've budgeted for? Are you happy with the package they offer?....if yes, then book it! My OH had venue wobbles because I wanted to book the first place we saw, it took him a few days before he realised that the reason I wanted to book it was because it ticked so many boxes!!

OH said I was over thinking it too I think one more visit to location and venue then we will book as they do tick most of the boxes and budget wise are great value.

I also keep thinking what if there is somewhere we have missed but as we want to get married next May it is best to book sooner rather than later.

Thank you all can't believe I have had so many wobbles already talk about indecisive.

I totally felt like this. Although I was convinced it was the perfect place for us, it's also a big step. Booking them makes it all more real! I had the same feeling when I bought my dress and paid the (50%!) deposit. It's a big step and I went into panic....what if I don't like it 6 months down the road, what if other people don't like it, what if it's cheaper somewhere else....?

If you know it is the place, then go for it. You probably are over thinking it, like I was! Once you've booked I bet you'll feel better though, it's just that initial first step. Once we booked ours I was much calmer and felt much happier ?

I had no hesitation whatsoever, I'm in LOVE with our venue! I felt the opposite, and wanted to make sure we booked them as soon as possible so we knew we'd get our date.

The photographer I ummed and ahhed a bit over, though. We paid the deposit for one reccommended by our venue, but then about a month later he cancelled on us, saying he had decided to retire! So he gave us back our deposit and I went on the hunt for a new one. The one I found I felt much more secure about. He was more our style, too, and I felt no hesitation when we booked him.

So.. as far as I'm concerned, when I hesitated it was for good reason. It's completely dependent on how you deal with things, though. I tend not to get anxious about things, so I don't worry as much, which could be why I didn't feel the same. If you think you'll feel the same about any venue and photographer, though, just bite the bullet and go with it. Just be sure you go through all the terms and conditions and contracts with a fine toothed comb to make you feel more secure about the choice.

I felt the same and went back to my venue 5 times before booking it. It was the first one we viewed and we looked at about 20. One evening my oh said he didn't like it and I cried - that's when I knew I wanted it! (he did like it really he said it on purpose!)

Thanks for the comments.

I'll let you all know this week and a little flash. Usually I am the decision maker out of the two of us, I'll need to get my mojo back as we have alot more to do!x

We had a couple of venues provisionally booked and there were a couple of things not quite right with both but were the best of what we'd seen and we did really like them. We decided to carry on looking and re-searched and luckily found our venue which we both LOVE. I think we were unsure for a reason and our venue now ticks all the boxes.

I found it so easy to pay the deposit for the DJ as he made us feel confident he'd do a good job and is very professional.

Ha ha, that's brilliant! Sometimes men can really surprise us and do the most amazing things that show us that they know us better than we sometimes know ourselves. You have obviously found your soul mate x

This is our venue officially booked woop woop 12th of July 2013!

Thanks for all your advice ladies. xx
