Wedding Venue!

So we've been looking for a venue, since that (obviously) will influence a lot of other stuff too!

We saw 4 venue options: Yacht club of Sea Isle City, the Golden Inn, the Carriage House in Galloway, and Greate Bay.

We eliminated the Yacht Club because it was significantly more expensive than any other venue we were considering and only marginally nicer. Also, the coordinator wasn't all that accommodating. We also eliminated the Carriage House because it's not close enough to the beach, it's kind of in the middle of nowhere and it's not really us. If we do it in a place like that, we might as well do it in the city somewhere convenient.

We visited the Golden Inn in Avalon, NJ. We really liked it but we haven't heard back from them with a customized menu and quote, even though it's been over a month since our visit. It's still on the list but it's not looking good for them if they don't get back to us.

We also visited Greate Bay. It's really pretty but I think there are better options. However, we were treated really well there! It's still on the list but I have a feeling it won't be the place.

We are visiting a few venues in Cape May in a couple weeks: Grand Hotel, Hotel Macomber and Hotel Alcott. I also emailed the Chalfonte to schedule a visit but I haven't heard back from them.

I am actually really surprised how unresponsive some of these people are! We are willing to spend thousands of dollars there and they can't reply to an email?!
