SOOOOO  we have booked our previous venue last year in April when we got engaged, paid the deposit, and everything. In January this year I enquired about the money outstanding, THEN I was told they double booked me with a conference they have that weekend, and that people will be moving past us the whole time…. SO I was really ticked off, and they moved us to another venue.. Wich I wasn’t very impressed with. AND last week I tried to contact the co-ordinator and ***** POOOOFFFFF***** now I can’t get a hold of her. Aint that nice??? She dissapeared in to think air just like a genie…. hehehe

 

 I contacted my first co-ordinator (YES, they even transferred me to a different co-ordinator without letting me know, I had to find out when I spoke to the first one…) and she told me that I am in my right to get my deposit back becoz it is still 6 months…

SO I tried again to get a hold of her, and couldn’t. I then left a message saying that I am cancelling the venue and need my deposit back… THEN believe it or not, she phoned me back. After I said we are cancelling the venue, the first thing she said was “I hope that it wasn’t becoz of me”, I just smiled and said no….. COZ if I did, I wouldn’t get my money back…

 SOOOO my venue hunting began once again! BUT where to go now…..

SO this time I didn’t even look on the web for places, as that means seeing all of them again… I decided to ask around, and my one friend suggested Izedleki wedding Estate…

It is situated in Kempton Park, right next to AEL Modderfontein…. This looked soooo perfect for me, so I contacted Helen, she will be our co-ordinator. And to my suprise she actually contacted me back almost straight away… She gave me a quote, and we accepted… Then she emailed me some more photos…

Having a picnic wedding is soooooo perfect! Take a look at these! We dont want a wedding that is to formal, since it is a small wedding, we wanted to make it fun.. and what is more fun than having a picnic….
This is a photo of Dobs House, the venue we will be using….

some of the picnic photos of the weddings they do. When you look at these, you will just want to climb right into the photos….

AND dont exclude the Bride and Groom, we get our own “Arabian type” tent! MAN this looks like sooooo much fun!!!!

This what each couple will get in their basket… We decided on not giving a basket per blanket, but rather give each couple their own basket, that way they can have a romantic picnic as well as enjoy the wedding….
