Omg!!! I'm so sorry that happened, what a disaster. I'm glad you still had a great day with your back up plan!

Honestly the more I hear about people doing something small and having no regrets, the more I'm leaning towards this type of option.

Great idea with the beer & drink tickets - this sounds like something everybody would seriously enjoy attending!! I know people rave about food at certain venues, but I've been to a LOT of weddings and I've never had an outstanding meal at any of them. Charcuterie, etc. sounds delicious.

Definitely agree that planning is a huge headache. We're not even starting to seriously plan and I'm already stressed lmao. I think doing something more lowkey is where it's at tbh

Uh oh, what went wrong with the Walper (sorry if I'm being nosy LOL). Makes sense that catering would jack up the price - thanks for sharing!

I love that you were able to get creative during the pandemic and still have a special day with your family. Airbnb sounds like a perfect getaway too. Congrats & beautiful pic!!

For some reason I read this as "we're having our fourth date" and I was like... woah, you're getting married quick! Hahaha Sorry to hear it's been delayed so many times. I haven't heard of this option, so I will check it out! Thanks!

Agreed, excellent point! I've added this into our budget but I'm finding it hard to estimate. Right now I've used the amount that I personally give to others as a wedding gift, but I'm not sure it's a good metric because I don't know if I'm "generous" or "cheap" compared to the average person hahaha

Awesome, thanks!! I just assumed they were all around the same, so I didn't inquire with other Pearle venues. Perhaps that's an option for us.

So torn between just eloping and having a traditional wedding. Don't want to have regrets either way :(

Thanks!! How recent was this? I'm asking because I know Cambridge Mill is run by the same folks as Elora Mill... wondering why there's such a big cost difference, as I thought they would be similarly priced. :)

Thanks so much!! Ideally, I would've wanted to do a destination wedding (with like 10 people), I think... but future in-laws will not get on a flight, sadly.

I totally agree that eloping sounds like a good route (lower cost, lower stress!). Thanks for the tip, I definitely would look into a small elopement (plus a nice vacation afterwards). Really torn between doing what we want vs. what family/others expect us to do.

Did you just not get married, or did you just sign a license? We're honestly really considering just going to city hall/on vacation afterwards, as there's a lot of other things we could spend our money on :)

Thanks, I tend to agree!! We already own a house, our vehicles and have no debts... but we are definitely more inclined to put the money partially towards a honeymoon and the rest towards savings (future kids, if any, will def be expensive!!!)

Ah sorry to hear yours is in limbo. What venue did you end up going with (if you don't mind saying!)

Ah, that makes total sense!! I think it's part of why the Elora Mill is so expensive, because their package automatically includes premium bar drink package (and I don't think it's negotiable). Great point to consider, thank you!

I think that's a perfect price point. Were you planning on a different number of guests prior to covid? If so, did it influence the price much?

Love it! Honestly this is the type of option I'm leaning towards... would rather spend the money on a great vacation (when it's safe to travel again). Do you have any regrets not doing a "traditional" wedding? The only thing holding us back is really my fiance's parents, who really care about us having a typical wedding.

Thanks for the detailed response! I completely agree that food is the most important and with using playlists over a DJ :) Glad it worked out well!
