The one in charge of the venue must be reading this cos I haven't heard from her in weeks and then yesterday emails me to say she doesn't have an updated signed contract from us.
Now she wants 30% peyment 3 months before the date. But sure we don't know if it could go ahead 3 months beforehand.
And if we are to push it back to next year I really don't want to be paying double. It's left a bad taste with the place and I think I'd prefer to look at other places.

I regret not getting drunker and causing a commotion then.

My registry part I moved from April to October. Didn't want a big celebration then but her parents wouldn't have been able to come so pointless. The celebration we postponed from this June bank holiday to next on her family farm in Wicklow. Made the call around January so we wouldn't have to stress the next few months whether it would be a runner and all the vendors, photographer band etc can do the new date so happy days!

We looked into that effort, while I can see why it would be much more tailored to yourself, it looked far more hassle to organise everything. At least with the church/hotel there's a set template that ya just book.

Plans changed for us a few months ago and told her we'd have to push it back the next year instead and she told us that she couldn't keep the same rate and would have to be 2022 rates, which is double what we have originally agreed. Things have changed again and we probably could have it this year but you still never know with covid and the amount of people you're allow have. 
Ok I get that places have been closed and have to make the money back, but double the price!
Any one else getting shafted who's has to change their plans?

My brother who is in a wedding band said they're keeping all their existing bookings at the same rate but an extra 100 or 200 for new bookings and not double the cost.



In the same boat , on to are third new date for next summer. We sign a contract with the venue in 2019 and will be getting them rates regardless of when it is thanks to having that . Bit like your self if the vat goes up or down is the only think that will fluctuate the price. 

Have heard of one or two places doing what you've said now but few and far between now

As soon as we get sign off that we can go ahead with 50, we're doing it. Even if it's at 2 or 3 weeks notice. Hope to god it will be this summer, the stress hanging over us the last year is almost unbearable.

might look into the humanist option as the registry office in Cork looks grim from the outside.

fookin hell Daz that is taking the piss. you have to wonder is it worth the hassle at the moment. postponed my own wedding twice now and hesitant to make any more decisions until this fookin thing is well and truly under control. 

herself is talking about getting the deed done at a registry office and then throw a garden party once we know we can host an event for a sizable number of guests.

Looking to hear from those who got married abroad or attended one. Good locations etc or any other tips or ideas? I know with Covid it wont be this year but maybe the tail end of summer 2022.

SGB the nearest airport is Ljubljana which is about an hour away from bled and then lake bled is a short taxi journey from the train station. I'm not sure what accessibility would be like around the place in winter as someone said its a ski resort in winter, not sure if that would be a potential issue. Beautiful place though. If you're not dead set on NYE, they have a local festival there around 17th July (I think) where there's a 15 minute firework display and then a floating candle display all over the lake, it's brilliant to look at.

Ljubljana is the nearest airport . No direct flights there as far as I remember unless you do a package deal .... Crystal holidays are your man for a package to Bled / Bohinj ...
l hear you are a racist now, father ?
