Oh where, oh where is my venue....

Update!!

Andrew and I have set a date: July 7th, 2012.  We decided on this day for several reasons, but the largest is because we each have the majority of our family traveling to our wedding destination (not a "destination" wedding though).  Since July 4th falls on Wednesday, family would only have to take off two days of work instead of three. It's an extra (optional) travel day if they are interested!  

Now that we have the date, we just have to make sure our venue is available.  My mum and I went venue hunting today!! It was such fun and a lovely day.  We stopped by the center for performing arts.

Don't you just think you'd feel like a movie star walking in through those doors?  Bummer of all bummers: it's booked--sort of.  It's first come first serve and I'm third on the list of people interested.  If I call (tomorrow) to tell them that I am ready to put a deposit, then the manager will call the first two in line.  They have 72 hours to confirm otherwise, it's MINE!  If for some reason I find that this will not work, I am able to get my deposit back (if it's more than 4 months before the event).  WOW!

So this is the venue I'm thinking about.  It seems reasonable and I plan to book it.  If something terrible happens I'll get the deposit back.  They'll easily be able to book it if I canceled.  Trusting God, he has the most beautiful thing planned for me, I know this.

Can I just add that this would be so easy to decorate? It has the most lovely pillars that have outlets built in..PERFECT for decorating (thinking about my twinkle lights that I insist on having).   It has a large kitchen for catering.  The rent included tables and chairs, ect... We shall see.
