My daughter spent most of last summer viewing wedding venues for her upcoming April 2011 nuptials. When she finally found the perfect spot she took me out to view it for approval. It was so lovely, and so ‘her,’ that I couldn’t resist. We took photos for her father and paid the necessary deposit to hold her date. This venue is not well known at all…It’s a fairly new facility, and currently they are only utilizing ‘word of mouth’ for advertising. In other words, my daughter had to really search this place out.
When we returned home and uploaded the venue photographs, I posted one for my fb profile pic and stated that my lovely daughter had FINALLY found an equally lovely venue for her wedding.
An acquaintance on my friends list, who shares many of mine and my daughter’s friends, told me that she too was searching for an affordable venue for her daughter’s wedding; then she proceeded to ask what venue we booked. I was reluctant to divulge the location initially because I didn’t want another bride in our circle of friends to splash wedding photos at the same venue all over fb before my own daughter had an opportunity to post her own. We have so many family members scattered across twelve states as well as my daughter’s friends from college. FB is a useful tool to stay close and share photos such as these for us…it’s far too expensive to attempt to send printed photos out to everyone, and this way those who cannot make it to the wedding can experience the joyous occasion through our family and friends circle via facebook.
I explained this to the other mom wanting the info concerning our venue. She went into overdrive spilling about how expensive all the locations they had looked into were, and how HER daughter’s wedding was not going to take place until Oct. 2011, so our wedding photos would definitely go out first. I felt it was safe at that point to give her the information she wanted…this all happened early Sept. 2010. Around the middle of Oct. I noticed the woman’s status stated that she was frantically trying to tie up all the loose ends for her girl’s ceremony. I inquired as to why they moved the date up a full year ahead of schedule, then asked what venue they had settled on. It never dawned on me that she would push her daughter’s wedding date ahead of my daughter’s and use the same venue…not after our discussion previously.
She finally responded offering the reason for the change in dates and told me that they in fact DID go with our choice of venue.
I reminded her that we talked about posting photographs, and how this would devastate my daughter to look like a copy-cat being that she put in all the hard work to find the place. At this point the lady popped off telling me that the venue hosts 15-20 weddings per year, and we didn’t own the spot. The chances of them finding out about this place would have been slim to none at best if I hadn’t told them about it…that’s how truly new it is. For them to behave in this manner just threw me for a loop! We had no further communication after that. However, their entire family posted roughly 750 pics of their girl’s wedding, and they made use of every place available to them for their photo-shoot!
I was floored! Not one member of this lady’s family even bothered to show an ounce of decency and make mention that another member of our family/friend’s circle had found the place and kindly offered the tip to them.
Now my daughter is furious…some people might think this is silly, but if you have planned your own wedding before, I think she is rightfully upset. I can’t believe the selfishness of this other family. Now, as late as it is, my daughter wants to find a new venue.
I’ve checked at a few other locations but they are solid booked. Can anyone offer any advice?

I’ve been planning my wedding for the past year or so and I’ve found that it all comes so easy to me. I love doing the research and finding new ideas and creating it all and I just think it’s so much fun. Any ideas on how to get started?
