Getting Things Moving
Now that the move is (just about) over and we're settling into our new place, we can start seriously thinking about the wedding. We've done some early research into possible venues for the ceremony and reception (ideally, in the same place, given that so many of our guests will be from out of town) and came away with a bit of sticker shock, to the tune of $1,500 or more for some of the venues we liked -- and that's just to reserve the facility!
For a bit of a laugh, I like to go look at the Corcoran Web site, where the contract to rent out the museum for private events demands a $15,000 fee (including a $13,000 "donation").
But we really need to buckle down and figure something out. We're looking at the first or second weekend in April, and I worry that, this being a big city, places will get booked up soon, if they aren't already.
