Catering!

Its been a little while since we have updated mainly because we have been trying to pull together catering, photography etc.  All while doing a quick move back to Mt. Vernon because of our landlord deciding that he wanted to try and sell the Hamden place.  Regardless the new place in Mt. Vernon is awesome, cheap which allows us to put more into savings and keep things moving on the wedding.  It will be pretty cool to be right outside the book festival this weekend, if your in the area drop us a message if you want to hang or check out the new place.

While neglecting our blag we went through the whole catering selection process and decided on Sascha's of Mt. Vernon.  The food selection and quality not to mention all the kick ass services they are going to pick up sound pretty awesome.  It was really Jane (Sascha's event planner) that really made us comfortable and that took a significant weight off our shoulders as far as having to micro-manage sub-contracting etc.  It will be nice to have a single manager to do all of that for us so we can concentrate on other things (probably something mentioned on OBB).

It looks like everything is moving pretty well and I think there might be something in the way of an engagement party on the list in conjunction with the year count down kickoff.

Anjel at Emily's Bachelorette Party

In preparation for Aaron and Emily Weller's wedding, Anjel decided to try on a few wedding dresses.  I like this one the best. 

Venue Selected! (October 20, 2012!!)

Today we went to view a great space known as Chase Court owned by a nice fellow David Egan. Not only did it have all of the amenities that we wanted at a reasonable price, but David was very nice to sit us down and roadmap our wedding day. He offered advice on where to go, what to do and some of the pitfalls as well. All in all the space is gorgeous and offers a beautiful piece of Mount Vernon history in the heart of Baltimore. Not to mention there is a koi pond, outdoor garden (for the service!), foliage galore, ample space, a classy sound system, more trees, victorian architecture, and the price is pretty kick ass as well.

Getting Ourselves Together

Finished up the balance sheet with all of the over estimated costs with what we have and what we need to layout a comprehensive savings plan that will definitely get us to the wedding. Just that seemed a little crazy but we still need our first pick place to get back to us on hopefully Wednesday. Anjel seems to be on top of finding cool stuff so I think its project time, fun stuff for the event plus some other fun stuff.

Feeling Crazy.

Guest lists are not easy

So started this fancy guest list that I am going to link into the budget so we should be able to get a reasonable estimate on the cost of things.  Just after a few minutes of adding in people I knew would definitely come I think we easily hit 30.  I was amazed how quickly things start meshing together so I hope we can get a rough number of people so we can start with estimates for venues.  Apparently we need to get our name on the lists post-haste.  It was really hard to find a starting point for the list so we tapped the all mighty Facebook friends list and find everyone in your family so you do have to awkwardly ask other members of family that will scold you for never considering your twice removed third cousin from Idaho that you didn't know about.  It really helps especially if your really not sure where to start, after your immediate family of course.

My wedding notes, and random thoughts

If the price is right I think i've fallen in love with a venue for the wedding. The Baltimore Museum of Industry!! It's right on the water and with a clear view of the Domino Sugar Factory. I had in my mind a retro styled wedding with a fun venue. The photos i've seen so far from other folks are really fun, and with the right photographer it could be awesome!
