Ok, so... Bad news.
For a few reasons we are not able to get married at the property like we thought... I know- crazy. But, I've come to terms with this and have found a peace about it.
The stressful part is that I have 6 months until we get married and with no venue it means no plans. I can't pick a caterer until I know where- same with invitations, flowers, band, and other details.
Now we're frantically searching for a barn/property/field/facility/house/rustic area for us to possibly get married at.
It's crazy. I'm about to pull my hair out. I just wish it were easy! I've contacted 15 different venues this week alone! Most have YET to contact me (Bad economy? Could've fooled me, looks like wedding venue is the business to be in, they seem to not need my money!) 4 of them are booked March 10. 2 are closed from December-March- "dead months" for farms, and 3 of the event facilitators had auto responses that they're on vacation! It's like I am hitting a brick wall every where I turn. Anyway, this is just a quick & boring pictureless post to fill y'all in. If you have any suggestions, please send them my way!!!
OH NO what a bummer!!God has a plan and I know it will work out for the best.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you're not having much luck. I know this sounds kind of random, but have you thought about posting on Craigslist in the wanted section? It's worth a shot. Maybe someone out there has an awesome barn that they would be willing to rent out or they know of a place. We got married in an apartment clubhouse that was a restored 1940s barn. We never would have thought to look into an apartment complex... Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! That sucks that you can't get married where you'd planned to! I hope you find somewhere suitabl soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI have lots of bride friends out there. I will ask around and see. Do you know April Herrell (Davidson)? Her wedding venue was to-die-for gorgeous. And I only saw pictures. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would say run an ad in the local paper and news site... There has to be someone that would be willing to lend a barn/rugged landscape for a fee...
ReplyDeleteYou guys live in Georgia right?? I think you do but not 100% sure. Anyway, try to go look at Lake Rabun if you do. We got married there and it's unbelievable. Plus there's a barn. :) It's rustic, outdoors, by a lake, and just to die for.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered an apple orchard? Imagine the smell of fresh apples in the air. H&H Orchards and Jaemor Farm Market are a couple that are near you. A pumpkin patch is also a possibilty.
ReplyDeleteTry posting in a forum on www.projectwedding.com it's an amazing site full of ideas, inspiration vendors and best of all forums full of other brides & wedding vendors who are actually really helpful and respond quickly!

There is a place in Hampton, Ga called Nash Farms you might could check out. It's a park owned by Henry County, but you can rent out the facilities. It's got a restored carriage house, and old barn, a gazebo that looks out into the hills, and since it was a battle field during the Civil War there is also a museum. I think it's pretty inexpensive to rent out as well. Hope you find a place!
