Ceremony and Reception hall: CHECK!

Yesterday we FINALLY signed on the dotted line for our ceremony and reception location. We found a lovely older synagogue that was bought out by an independant group that has renovated it. The chapel is a round building with stained glass all the way around it. There's a gorgeous stage and the room is very lovely (albeit a bit dark, but nothing a good amount of decoration will hide).

Then there's a courtyard that has a gazebo and a garden and a fountain, and soon it will have a bridge too. Very lovely area for pictures and such.

The hall for the reception is also very nice, and the food is fantastic.

This is the first major thing you have to do when you're planning your wedding. Nothing can be set or created until you find the hall. You don't even have a date until you sign and get the deposit in. It also sets the general feel of the wedding. An old mansion has a different feel than a hotel, which has a different feel than a church.

We're so excited!

My first panic attack planning my wedding occurred on the day that I signed the reception contract. It was at that moment, the reality of getting married finally hit me!
