Wedding Stress (just a little)

I’ve booked the chapel, reserved the videographer and I’m considering a fun and sassy bridesmaid dress. Last Friday I went to poke around the hotel that has recently moved to the top of my list for the reception for several reasons (location, size, price, just to name a few). I met with the new catering staff and everything seemed peachy. I left a message Friday night that we want to book it. I thought things were really falling into place…that is until Monday.

I walked into the office this morning to find a message from a co-worker that said, in summary “DO NOT book with that hotel until you talk with me.” Then she was out sick today! Yikes!! I posted on a local wedding message board and got a response from someone who basically said the same thing and then went so far as to say by the time we have the wedding she suspects they may be under a new name. WHAT????

To be fair, there was also another post from someone who had attended a wedding there and thought everything was fine, except the bartender. I’ve been to a few events there myself, but that has been quite awhile ago. I need to know more about HERE and NOW.

GRRR. I’m not the bridezilla type, but I’m starting to feel a tiny bit of stress! But, I’m not going to get TOO worked up about it yet. One would think that I could find ONE decent hotel in the entire Quad Cities to host this shindig, right?!
