Venue problems... 6 weeks to go!

They had one there yesterday... I'd love to know what the bride thought.

There were also other people looking round, and booking for next year

It wasn't.. The carpet was brand new two years ago... It's not been looked after one bit.

problem is I don't know what to say without sounding like the bride from hell... What with 6 weeks to go. If h2b wasn't working away over next few weeks, he'd go and clean carpet free of charge himself!

If I was you I'd drop them a little email, be as polite as possible and raise your concerns.

You could even say that you're not sure whether it is because they hadn't done the clean up after the last wedding yet but you just wanted to let them know you were a bit disappointed.

Hope it all goes ok, also bare in mind that your guests might and probably won't scrutinise the venue like you would.

I think it might be worth saying something too as politely as possible. You're paying to get married there so want the place to be at it's very best and it's only going to play on your mind between now and then! Otherwise maybe you can mask over these things with decorations etc?

It would be hard to mask over the problems... Main problem I would say is the carpet. The space that is worst is a large open area, surrounded in sofas. No amount of strategic placing would cover the capet

i think I will drop them a polite email, as I need to ask a couple of other questions anyway. I'll just say I don't want to be a bridezilla, but wondered if they were looking to have carpets cleaned Between now and wedding

i know most people won't notice it or care, but it does bother me.. Especially when their sister venue is well looked after and highly promoted over this one.
