We knew we wanted a summer wedding, looking back I don't know how or why we established this, I just know we both were like, "yeah, July sounds good." Boom done, decision made. Let me take you through the process a little more in detail before I reveal our wonderful, fabulous, absolutely gorgeous reception choice!
When I told my mom about visiting sites but not wanting to wait until we were "officially engaged" to put money down on anything if we found "the" place, she told me that my dad and her booked a reception site before they were also even engaged! That sealed the deal for me....the hunt was on.
The first place we looked at was Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia, NY. They have a beautiful outside area right next to the water, where you can get married underneath a gazebo. Beautiful place but we were too worried of rain, and having it here you would want to have to have the ceremony outside....so that was nixed.

That began the whirlwind of wedding planning.....after he proposed a month later of course!
How did everyone else's reception searching go? Was it quick and easy or seem like a never ending process to find the perfect site? Do you have any unique venue stories?
