Wedding things seemed to take a jump yesterday, I now have appointments to meet people in three of the venues I was looking at, all hotels at this point and I may make another one for a space at one of the universities. They have a beautiful old stone building with a "great hall" that is really nice for weddings as well. One place i contacted won't be suitable as they don't have a large enough space and my cousin who works at another hotel called me back as well but I have a feeling her place won't have the accommodations either. However, she works for a chain and there are two others in the city. I wonder if she would have influence there? She's very good at organizing and she'll have good ideas regardless.

I also got a referral for a photographer from someone at work and he emailed me back with a general price quote which will suit the budget nicely. Gosh though, wedding photography isn't cheap! I know they put a lot of work in and even if I don't have one for a whole day, they do a lot of work on the photos even after the wedding. Anyway, I like what I've seen on his website so I think we'll have to have a chat to see if I like him. No point hiring someone whose personality isn't going to gel with mine. I know another photographer, an old friend though not a close one. I should contact him and see what kind of price he can do for what I need.

.... and having done that, and just had a conversation with him, I'm probably going to go with him. The price is right and I know him already. Nice guy, good photographer. He's shot a few weddings of my friends so I know his work. Lots of experience, too.

It is quite possible they have finally rectified the issue. They have a new manager so perhaps she pushed for it. We held our alumni dinners there for years as it used to be the law school of a number of years and we encountered issues with older alumni being unable to attend because of the stairs. In fact, a younger alumnus who uses a wheel chair was unable to attend for this reason. We moved the venue elsewhere to avoid it happening again. This is good news, however, if they do have a lift! The Great Hall does have a lovely feel to it.

Yes i've been to a couple of weddings there, too, and it's lovely though probably too large for what we need. They did say they do weddings in the pub but though we aren't doing anything too formal, that might have too casual a feel.
