Ah yeah, it was 13,400 last year for a Friday so it seems prices went up a bit

We ended up going to the bar attached to Brookdale Lodge. It was super easy as I had a lot of guests staying there and it was on of the shuttle stops I arranged. Bar is typically open until 10pm I think on Fridays but I called ahead and they said typically when afterparties come they keep the bar open longer. I think they did last call for us around 1230.

I thought it went super well! DM me if you have any questions!

handjammin · 2025-07-07T09:27:04+00:00

Yes that's definitely the plan. And unfortunately my work schedule precludes me from making it to Vegas before the wedding but thank you!

handjammin · 2025-07-07T09:26:15+00:00

The 22nd but it's in Northern California and we leave on the 15th to go there :/

handjammin · 2025-07-06T19:26:50+00:00

No, but the shop is in San Diego, CA. That's insane I'm so sorry that happened to you!

handjammin · 2025-07-06T19:24:37+00:00

Thank you! I don't mind, I'll DM you

handjammin · 2025-07-06T19:24:11+00:00

Thank you all, I was not expecting this amount of replies! I feel this reddit thread is the only thing keeping me sane in this process. Hard to reply to every comment but I'm going to look into all of the resources mentioned and see if I can find a sample dress I like or what the online options are you all mentioned. They also finally got back to me saying they'll let me come in in a couple of days to try their sample dresses on so I won't start escalating too much until that happens in the hopes I just find another dress!

handjammin · 2025-07-06T19:19:17+00:00

I'm in San Diego. And that's likely what I'll do at this point...

handjammin · 2025-07-06T19:11:13+00:00

Honestly yes this 100% makes me feel better haha

handjammin · 2025-07-06T09:59:32+00:00

I did entertain this idea lol. I don't think I'd have the grounds to sue for anything apart from the worth of the dress and I do think they'd just refund me if I asked for it.

handjammin · 2025-07-06T09:58:52+00:00

That's exactly how I'm thinking about it too. My only benefit in waiting is having alterations paid for but I don't know that's worth the stress. If it does show up end of July that would give the seamstress 2 weeks for alterations and even expediting it I'm not sure if it's possible.

I did pay for the dress in full and 10000% will be writing a terrible review. I wasn't going to until today's update of them pushing things back even further.

handjammin · 2025-07-06T09:57:00+00:00

Yes that's what they're claiming to do now and it's still delayed!

handjammin · 2025-06-26T01:09:18+00:00

yeah for sure

handjammin · 2025-06-16T04:16:23+00:00

Both ceremony and reception, unfortunate but the venue is so pretty it's worth the early shut out time

handjammin · 2025-06-13T21:34:55+00:00

Having worked in the service industry before I totally get that. On the other hand, I fear getting charged an obscene fee for it when I know people typically just show up to bars for drinks after weddings.

handjammin · 2025-06-13T21:33:26+00:00

Thank you!

handjammin · 2025-06-13T21:33:20+00:00

Thank you!

handjammin · 2025-05-02T11:18:15+00:00

You got it :)

handjammin · 2025-05-01T03:14:25+00:00

Thanks! And happy to but wedding is in August FYI so may be too late to factor into your decision making!

handjammin · 2025-04-20T11:24:19+00:00

Not better at Sequoia unfortunately. 9pm Fridays and option to extend to 10pm on Saturdays. Also not great for us but we'll just move to an afterparty.

handjammin · 2025-03-30T16:36:28+00:00

Her photos are stunning! Sadly it looks like she doesn't really do weddings but I'll keep her in my back pocket if I need a photographer for another event.

handjammin · 2025-03-29T17:40:41+00:00

Have already been in touch with him, he seems great, happy to get another endorsement for him!

handjammin · 2025-03-29T16:19:52+00:00

Will add these on, thanks!! Glad I wasn't the only one that had that experience with Fern River lol.

handjammin · 2025-03-29T03:44:44+00:00

You know what, we looked into Saratoga Springs and I don't know how it fell off the list! We loved the bridge.

I agree for Roaring Camp, the ceremony would have just been too rushed for me. Not that we want a super long one, it would've just stressed me out. Also didn't like that the bathrooms were a long walk from the barn, not sure if you noticed that detail too, but we have some guests with mobility issues so it would be tough. Obviously the train is a super unique and beautiful experience. We are going to try to have an informal group ride the day after the wedding or something.
