Weddingbee boards

So FH n I went to a bridal show at a venue I at the time, could care less about even though I had never really seen it. After telling some friends I was going, they said great thing about the place too so I decided to go in with an open mind and I actually really liked it.  All be-it, it's not 100% what I am looking for but it was VERY nice.. saw some beautiful photo ops inside and outside. It was all decorated for fall and we are getting married in fall so it turned me on more to see how elegant is looks in fall decor and lights!  We were shown the room they would give us (1 wedding at a time!!) and how it would be set, he showed us the cocktail hour room, and where we could do the ceremony (I didnt like that part though). We went over the menu and different options and rather than trying to upsell everything, he showed us how to save money without really skimping. (He didn't even know our budget or that we were trying to save). So I think it is actually definitely in the running. We have 2 years now however, they do already have 2 dates set in Oct. 2013 so a little nervous that we should start to reallly think on things. 
So yea, just sharing. FUnny cause I was annoyed with FI all weekend and almost didnt' want to go to the show and look what happened. Was totally worth going or I would have looked right over them as an option. They include the linens, centerpieces (silk flowers though so I don't know about that), menu sounds really good, very accomodating of me being vegetarian. SO I'm full of "YAY" and a bit of stress over the financials... it was at the upper end of what we think we can afford (however, there is nothing cheaper than this place without just having a dinner in a restaurant) so we would both be happy to get a "REAL" wedding reception. All very exciting!
