Wedding Forum - How many venues did you visit?...

I think we only visited two.
However we must have looked at hundreds of brochures!

I have already got my heart set on one in particular, I'm just worried that for some reason I won't be able to have it and then will be stuck! xxx

LOADS online and through brochures but only looked at one. OUR one :-)

we had decided on one that we wanted but i was totally unrealistic price wise and because it a public place you might have every tom, dick and harry poking their noses in etc but our second choice we really really weanted but we thinking the owner doesnt think we serious as she kept telling up mega big prices and that they would go up ewtc and that you have to have sit down, buffet AND drinks to get the package (50+guests) tho it dont say that in brochure so we went to their sister hotel and it was soooo much better it a star less but the rooms and the people are so much more friendly and cooperative and althought the drinks work out slightly more expensive (bout 50p i think) over all it so much better plus we dont have to pay room hire or ceremony fee which evern better just got the registrar to worry bout now lol. we did look at another pace that h2b fell in love with but they not even emailed back and it bin nearly 2 weeks so that strickes them off the list

the first one we saw was the one xxx

Yeah, lots of brochures is the way forward. Then you can make a shortlist by cutting out the ones that don't tick your boxes. You can chop out ones that don't hold your numbers, ones that are too expensive etc. For me I had to have candles so I looked at the pictures to see if there were any on the tables. I was also keen on exclusive use.

Then you don't have to go see hundreds and drag poor h2b out of bed the next 10 Saturdays!

I've now 99% certain I've found the one I want, and it was the 4th one we had seen.

We sent off for many brocures and then sleected the ones that were within our budget (ended up being 3). I visited two and try get an appointment with the other one but they were fully booked. Went with the one that seems to proof best value for money and was also near the chapel we are getting married at

We've only seen 1, though we both love it and thinks its "the one". Still gonna see a couple more just to compare though x

we only looked at 2, i ordered a few brochures, but the one we have booked was the first one i came across when i started looking, somehow i kept coming back to it, i didnt think my oh was taking that much notice but we went for a meal there and straight away he said it was the one! so glad my gut instinct was right x

we were looking at vegas but it was 2 expensive 4 every1 2 come so dave said look at gretna green looked online at 2 fell inlove with the mill forge online loved it better in person n booked it there n then had 2 book 4 months b4 we wanted tho as no other dates were available so only had 6 months b4 the wedding 2 sort it all out x

mrsr2b...I was also considering Brownlow as its just so beautiful!! Havent been to look around it or anything just nosying on the website! is there much decorating needs done or is it impressive the way it is?? Also how much did your meal per head work out at? THANKS :) xx

about 3 but won a package at one so went with that one

I'm newly engaged; looked at probably 4 dozen online and ruled most out for various reasons (eg cost, size, decor, etc), and have shortlisted 10. Of those, I've seen 5 so far, really really like 1, though another 2 are possible contenders.

Wanted to see quite a few so I could be sure I was making the right decision; I've fallen in love with one though, my OH is yet to see if but I just know he'll love it, it's very 'us'; but, my mum keeps banging on about how the ceremony room isn't the best (she has a point; it's quite small and the bride can't really make a proper entrance), yet, I don't care because the ceremony will be like 30 minutes, and nowhere else compares in terms of everything else... Still have 5 to see though so we shall see!

I visited one .. my one and only venue :-) x

just the one its perfect :-)

We looked at two - One being our garden then just feel it love with the other one!!

ours was the 2nd one we looked at but we looked at 2 more after even tho we knew we had found 'the one' we wanted to make sure x

We already had our church we knew we wanted and have got..even though we have never been inside it..thats on our to do list. But its a very popular little church set in a beautiful village with thatched cottages and horse and carriages. (pics in album).

We looked at 3 reception venues but also knew which one we would like, but just looked at alturnatives. Each time I go back I like it even more (pics in album too)
:D x

Looked at about 10 brochures but only looked at one in real life, fitted the budget, good menu, right size and local - one happy B2B!

We only looked at one and fell in love with it instantly when we went to look round so we paid the full cost there and then to secure it ;-) (this was a week after we got engaged lol).
