Reception site picked and more

Ahhhhh *big sigh of relief* we picked our reception venue. It is the courtyard marriot right down the street from where we live. It is modern, comfortable, and very very bright..The search for the perfect venue was an interesting one that is for sure!!!!

Finding one that is accessible for our roommate was the number one priority. This place hit the mark. There are no lips, bumps, etc for him to have to manuever over. The accessible rooms have more than enough space, things are down where he can reach them with ease, the showers are amazing!!! That was a real thumbs up for us!!!!!

The second was it not being too.....stuffy....or dark. A few we looked at were so..dim..it just didn't fit who we were. Since she was working at the time, most of the places that were looked at were by me, my roommate, and the wedding planner. There was a digital camera involved so she could kind of get a feel for it....

When I walked into the courtyard...it was beautiful. It took my breath away. The price wasn't over the top either!! that was a good thing!! A very good thing!!!!! The ballroom that they have is the only one in the building so we don't have to worry about another party going on at the same time!! *phew* I think I would have an issue if it's our first dance and from another room all you can hear is someone elses loud music....

The invitations are starting to fall into place, and we think we may have found a DJ..So all that is left to find is..a photographer..oh boy..what a hard one that is..prices are so expensive for photography!! jeez...

Anyways..there is an update on that!!
