Boy, we have had quite a run looking for a place to have our wedding!

We needed to find a place that:

1. Could accommodate the number of guests we were planning.
2. Fit both of our ideas of a dream place to have our wedding
3. Was relatively reasonably priced and/or flexible with their contract.

At first I thought it would be all fun: weekend trips, fancy tours, and sunshine. At first it was all fun and games. But after the fourth, fifth, sixth place, it started to get old.

Were our dreams and wedding fantasies unrealistic? Would it be impossible to find a place? Was our budget too small? How long is long enough to look?

Venue searching is TIIIRING. 

We scoured any and every website we could. TheKnot, HereComesTheGuide, and every single vendor listing site, and every blog we could find. We even enlisted the help of a wedding planner for "ala carte" planning services. 

We started out looking here in the city. We expanded to the entire bay area. We went north coast, south coast, far and wide. Gradually we just started looking further and further.

We're 12 months away from the wedding and we're finally close. We're very close.

We have the contract in hand, we're doing final reviews. All we have to do is write the check and send it off!

I can't waait!!!

When things are finalized I'll post more information here!

Coming soon: wedding dress shopping, tablescaping, and invitations.
