Location, Location, Location

It's all about the location, right? It's hard to find a good location though. Does it have decent parking? Is it easy to find? Is it beautiful? What accommodations do they provide? And of course, what do they charge? Finding a location is, well, hard. Brad and I went to a total of four locations. The first was Le Jardin. This is an indoor garden center with lots of tables throughout the garden. I have parents and grandparents with allergies, and everything was really spread out, it's really pretty, but just didn't fit what we had in mind for our wedding. So, it was onto our next location. We went to The Woods on Ninth. It is a beautiful house that has been renovated into a reception center. It's pretty trendy. Unfortunately, Brad and I are not that trendy. And the price was, uh, out of our price range. Onto our next place, Eldredge Manor. Admittedly, I fell in love with the place the second I saw it. Beautiful architecture, amazing accommodations, beautiful gardens, a great location. It had it all. I wanted our wedding to be there, but there was one problem, the price. Darn those beautiful wedding venues that know they are beautiful and charge you an arm, a leg, and your soul. Oh well, we finally went to our last and final destination, The Old Meeting House. The Old Meeting House has everything we could have wanted, beautiful architecture, it's easy to find, great accommodations that include all our centerpieces and a decorated buffet table, our cake, a pianist with our ceremony, and again, it's beautiful! So YAY! We have a location and a date. August 5, 2010 at The Old Meeting House, we will become Mr. and Mrs. Bradly Harris. SO EXCITED!!!!
