No venue booked and 18 weeks to go...STRESSED!!

I'm guessing the venue is local? If so, I would be popping down there in my lunch.

Agreed. The cant ignore you when you're standing in front of them.

It's 40 in drive away but good idea, I'll take a trip out that way tomorrow as I have a day off.

I get the same fret of being a bridezilla but all you after is clear communication which should be a good business practise. I agree with the others to popping in

I expect he probably hasn't time to come up with a quote, what with everything going on in the building. He probably has seen your email though - would be courteous if he just emailed back to say he's looking into or whatever. I think your best bet would be to go down there in person and keep calling until they get fed up with you and give in!

I definitely think an impromptu drop in might be a good idea although I suspect he is many rushing around trying to make sure it's ready before they open again.

Let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed it gets sorted soon!

I worked in hotels for years and I know how much stress the manager can be under in normal circumstances so I can imagine he is MEGA stressed at the moment, plus there is a grand opening by invite only next weekend (my invite must've got lost in the post...) so I'm sure I'm at the bottom of his 'to do' list!

Will call in tomorrow and hope he is there!

Despite all that's going on he should still be able to respond to you at least a reassurance e-mail of sort would've helped. Best of luck

Waiting on head office now to sort their wedding package pricing. Should hear from them tomorrow....

That is great news Penny P. That will be a weight off your mind!

IT'S BOOKED!!!

Paid deposit this morning so the invites can be printed now and things can start happening! ??

Yay aaaaand breathe!

So nice to have the venue secured isn't it?

Very glad for you, Penny! I know that suppliers are busy, but they should be on hand and answering emails and enquiries as fast as possible. At least you can start planning everything else now that is confirmed.

Oh bless you.

glad to hear that you finally booked your date and you can now focus on the rest.

Thank goodness!!

Yay!

Thats great news!! Pleased for you!! : )

Woo at long last!

I've been so focused on getting the venue secured it feels like there are hundreds of jobs to do now - I don't know where to start!!

Tog, Cake, Flowers. I'd say these three first and then invites as soon as you can.

Just booked tog, I met her a while ago but didn't book her as I was too obsessed with the venue thing, she's great so happy happy! My sister has offered to make the cake(s), she's very artistic and decorates cakes as a hobby. I'm having three tier - one chocolate marble, one Battenberg and one red velvet - a bit of a challenge for her!

I can start getting excited about the day again now :-)

Invites are at the printers and meeting the florist next week! ?

You seem pretty set then! Your well under way!

Are u having a wedding band?

You just need to tick the following from your list; the wedding dress, accessories, brides maids, suit, wedding rings, wedding shoes,

try downloading a wedding planning App to help you get organised x

I'd love a wedding band but not sure if our budget can stretch to it :-( H2B has a relative who is in a wedding band but I can't stand the singer's voice but it would be at a discounted price...something to think about!

I have all the other bits are sorted minus accessories and my ring.
