Last minute venue help
Hello kind people of reddit,
My fiance and I are planning to get married on September 19 of this year. We live in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) but found the perfect venue (Manhattan Penthouse) and put our deposit down last summer. Since then, we've been slowly chipping away at the long to-do list.
Unfortunately, yesterday we were contacted by our venue and told that they were going out of business and that they would refund our deposit. I started freaking out, and my fiance immediately started working on the issue. We have discussed cutting our losses and eloping. But we're not ready to give up on our wedding yet.
We have reached out to basically everyone we know, all our vendors, local business owners in Williamsburg, friends and family, but we're hoping for ideas from here too.
Our guest list is 150 people but obviously at this point we will cut that to take what we can get. Does anyone have any contacts or ideas or suggestions for venues that may be able to accommodate us on such short notice? We will take any leads we can get.
Thank you! And I hope this never happens to anyone else!
