Venue visits

After we'd booked, we went back once to have the tasting menu. So in all, we saw it 3 times before the wedding:

1st visit- to see venue

2nd visit- to book and pay

3rd visit- try tasting menu

4th visit- wedding

Went 3 times before we booked it, then booked, then went about 3 times after

We've been a few times :-) to show my family, to have our tasting, to have a meeting with our co-ordinator, last visit before the big day will be next weekend, just to make sure everything is done and ok

Before booking, we saw it three times, seeing it ourselves and showing parents. I'm not sure if we'll need to go back again, the tasting might be done elsewhere at the caterers, I'm not sure yet. If not it will be nearer the time probably to get an idea of layouts etc.

Viewed it the first time and then booked that week online. Going back in October as there's an open day so we'll just wander and plan what decorations we want, potentially meet the TOG there. Go back in new year for a tasting. And then the next time would be to drop off everything the day before.

So far we've seen it once to look around, a second to book, third time for a wedding fair to see the rooms set up. I'm sure we'll be seeing it a few more time before the wedding as well.

So far 3. But as wedding not until 2016 will probably be loads more by then. Luckily its a national trust property so often has days where you can just pop in and have a look. In Jan it will be set up for a wedding showcase so will deffo be going again then.

We don't live too far away so have called in loads with various people! We've also been for dinner a couple of times and plan to go for dinner the weekend before the wedding again. I love seeing it

Since booking we've been to 2 open days at our venue and will be back again for a final meeting a few weeks before the wedding.

We've also been to see the tipis 3 times at different venue open days. I don't think we'll be seeing them again before the big day.

Went once to see it, then booked by phone. A few months later went to a wedding fare there and a few weeks after that went to a function there. Went back a couple of weeks ago to make final payment. Next time we go will be next Friday when we will be married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since booking we have been once for the menu tasting and did a bit of planning then too. The Co-ordinator hinted that we would probably have one more final meeting before the wedding.

We've been to our venue once to look around…
Then booked by phone.
There's a wedding showcase on a week Monday and I've asked my OH if he wants to go see what'll look like 'dressed up' for a wedding. But he said no because if 'it looks like crap' we'll spent the next 2 yrs disappointed as he put it…but I want to go! ?

I have booked mine without seeing it!!! I am having a destination wedding in Italy so at the moment have only seen pics from previous weddings and online. Great excuse for a mini break next year to scope out the area and look at hotels etc to recommend to our guests

It is a public building so I should think I will pop in a few times over the weekend I am there and will book a meal for the restaurant we are having our reception in as well. Plus I will be asking our wedding planner to arrange to meet to discuss food etc while we are out there - preferably at the restaurant with the owners as well!

We have seen it 4 times. 1 - 1st viewing, 2nd - quote doing, 3rd - wedding fayre and 4th deposit paying. 2.5 years to go so I suspect we will be visiting a few times for tasting etc.

I saw the venue twice before we booked (once just me for a different event before we got engaged, then once with OH after we got engaged). So far, we've been back once since for a meeting with a prospective decorator, but our wedding isn't until 2017 so I'll probably want to go back a few more times before then.

We've seen our venue once when we booked 18 months in advance. We're now going back to discuss the seat covers at the venue, this weekend, and will take my parents to view it. I can't wait to see it again. The wedding is not until March 2016 - I'm sure we'll see it a few more times by then too.

We went once for an initial look around, then back to see the wedding co-ordinator and to book it.

Since then nipped back to show our daughter - another wedding was on, so we just looked through the windows, then I took my mum, daughter, MoH and her mum to look, and to use the spa facilities. We've also been to a wedding fayre there so got to see the room again, although, in truth, we could have been anywhere due to the number of exhibitors in the space!

So, 5 times in various manners, so far. We have our tasting and main pre-wedding meeting in January, and another meeting in May, just before the wedding to go through the final details, so probably 7 or 8 visits by the time we have finished, although a couple of them are only peeks!

Every time I see it, I imagine myself gliding along the aisle or sweeping serenely down the staircase.......in truth I shall be terrified of falling over, so I will get the calm and elegant feel while I can, I think!!!

Now we've narrowed down our choices, a couple of them we regularly drive by, and the two which are open to the public, we regularly pop in for coffee or afternoon tea! However, once booked, I expect to 'formally' visit another 2 or 3 times for measuring up, finalising details etc.
