I am sure everything will work out perfect. :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/very-frustrated-with-my-venue-wwyd#post-490743 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:18:00 +0000 KMSull 490743@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I say go straight to the manager. 2 weeks isn't alot of time, especially because you have some pretty big questions left unanswered! I wouldn't leave this to chance at all and might even say it's the one time you can be justified in being a little bit overaggressive.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/very-frustrated-with-my-venue-wwyd#post-490742 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:17:41 +0000 PeytonL79 490742@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Oh, I would definitely go to the venue - if it weren't an hour and a half away! &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/very-frustrated-with-my-venue-wwyd#post-490737 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:15:43 +0000 Irishker03 490737@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Call and ask to speak with her. If that isn't possible or she isn't available, then I'd go to the venue and talk with her or the manager. You are paying big money and deserve to have your questions answered!</p>
