Take the tour
It's a family affair
Two of the lovelies flew to Nashville this past weekend to visit NashvilleDaughter and DrummerBoy and to accompany their sister on the tour of her chosen venue. Now, online we all LOVED the venue. It seemed to have so much to offer in a rustic elegant sort of style and the services included sounded above and beyond what some venues offer. So what happened when they took the tour?
Make a connection
It was even BETTER than what we saw online and the pictures and videos they sent me verified this. Cha-Ching! My girls liked the gal who showed them around the venue and the bride-to-be has already bonded with this girl so that should make things go even smoother. Making a connection with the people you contact with while wedding planning does make a difference.
Get a fine tooth comb
One of the most important things you need when it comes to wedding planning is a fine tooth comb for use when going over the contracts. If you're helping your daughter (or son) make sure they SIGN NOTHING until they, you, and someone you trust who has wedding planning experience goes over that thing thoroughly and then look over it again and MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT as well as between the lines. Maybe even check for invisible ink. Seriously, KNOW WHAT IS BEING SIGNED.
So, where are we in the process? We're all in agreement about the venue and after using our fine tooth combs have agreed the contract is ok to sign. In other words, the wedding venue has been secured!
What happens when two of your sisters and your niece show up for a weekend?
You laugh at pillowcase dancing.
You make a new friend.

our daughter is getting married - 3 weeks from tomorrow - eek! great advice in this post and in your other post about helping daughters!!
ReplyDeleteThree weeks! Wow! Can't wait to see pictures!
DeleteWe just signed contracts yesterday for the reception venue, planner (although we've already met with her), and church. So glad you've found a venue you love. I feel like getting that pinned down with a date helps a lot! We loved our videographer from Daughter1's wedding, but they've become big and well known and don't do weddings anymore so we have to find a new videographer. Our photographer is booked but Daughter2 and her fiance will meet with him next week to talk specifics and then sign the contract. He did Daughter1's wedding so we know what to expect. The chapel has a bazillion rules so just want him to be aware of that.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were planning Daughter1's wedding we were looking at Sullivan's Island and discovered, from the photographers, you can't take certain pictures outside including on the beach. I found that ridiculous as thousands of tourists take pictures out there all the time. As do I. Why in the world do people try to control everything? Then we though about First Baptist downtown but the rules were just too much for our rule breaking family so we just borrowed the minister and his wife who are our dear friends. LOL I'm so glad things are moving along for y'all! What's your date? We're May 11. I get a new son-in-love for Mother's Day 2019!
DeleteExcellent news that the venue is secured!! Bug and her new friend!!! Adorable... and then there is that little man. Oh my goodness.
ReplyDeleteSuch a big part and it's already done. What a relief! Aren't they adorable? That's Ben's brother's little boy. They had such fun together. My little red headed boy. Red is my favorite color, especially hair. :)
