Sooooo we have a different venue. As some of you know, we’ve been having issues with our venue when it comes to communicating. We did finally have an in-person meeting on May 26th and discussed our issues. Honestly, it still doesn’t sit right with us. And being at the venue again, I realized how SMALL it is – so small, that we won’t be able to have the wedding we want. There’s literally no room for a dance floor, all the guests would be a bit crammed, and we just won’t have room for all the vendors (DJ, photobooth, cake table, buffet table, etc.). I wouldn’t be able to use the tables I want, therefore, I wouldn’t be able to use the centerpieces I want… It’s just a mess…
Now, I bet you’re thinking “well, why did you book this venue in the first place?” and I gotta say – we just jumped the gun. We were all excited to find such a beautiful venue, we didn’t ask NEAR enough questions as we should have…
Anyways! We had a meeting with a new venue this past Saturday. It’s looking like it’ll be about the same price (ish) and there is A LOT more space to work with. The Grove Hotel is beautiful and it has a spacious terrace where we'll hold the ceremony and a great ballroom for the reception. A cool feature of the hotel: they have "arena rooms" - suites that overlook Idaho Central Arena where they hold concerts and Idaho Steelhead hockey games!
It's still in Downtown Boise, only 2 blocks from our previous venue. So it's very conveniently located.
I'm really excited about our new location. I'll have a link to book rooms soon, so keep checking back!
