Venue One: OMGorgeous. Birds singing in the treetops. Burbling brooks. Ridiculous on-site dressing rooms. Charming bridges over aforementioned burbling brooks. Quaint paths through country gardens.
Also, TOTALLY BOOKED FOR OUR WEDDING DAY.
Venue Two: Not open. Fortunately, also not gated. I did feel a little bad strolling past a sign that said "Please pay admission in gift shop before entering garden" and we crept on tiptoes through the entire thing. However, the whole place was super tiny. No open spaces large enough to accomodate our huge (and growing) guest list. Plus, the building on-site was also some kind of high class museum of hideous porcelain statues.
Venue Three: A little out in the boondocky part of town, but quite charming. It was like a little village of bed-and breakfast cabins/villas. The event center was closed, but the on-site restaurant was open.
And horrible.
The bread was a dried out, burnt, but still cold dinner roll that set the tone for the entire meal. Our waitress seemed to forget we were there, my salad had approximately 1.5 cups of black pepper in it, and Fiance's pork chop had the tenderness and flavor of a well-worn cowboy boot. By the time we were finished, we were not just crossing it off the potential venue list, we were NEVER COMING BACK, and also WRITING A TERRIBLE REVIEW ON YELP.
Cheers to a successful evening!!!
