Has anyone had an airbnb wedding or know someone who has? If you had one, what were the challenges?

My brother had an airbnb wedding in Palm Springs and it was the best and most memorable wedding I've ever been to. It was small, but everyone was able to stay at the airbnb (it had 10 bedrooms). He only paid ~7k for the wedding.

I'm thinking about doing the same somewhere in the California desert (we live in MA). We found some amazing, huge, luxurious airbnbs for like 3k/night

My question exactly. Can you explain further? I'm really curious about the insurance.

I'm also not concerned about the traditional wedding frills like a dance floor/cocktail hour/bridal party etc etc. Really just want to get married in a location with beautiful scenery with food and drinks and music

Hi! I think some venues have their own platform or halls for this. How many guests are you expecting?

I’d just make sure you confirm with host that you can have an “event” at the property - I had a family friend try to do this on the Cape and the owner wouldn’t allow it

We actually had a similar problem before. But this one was in a different Airbnb. It was really stressful.

That sounds like so much fun. I would love to do something like this.

My best friend and sister-in-law. My best friend's wedding went smoothly. My sis in law on the other hand had some issue with the owner of the place. I guess he was not informed.

That's a good deal. I'd second TA1's comment. It is important to inform the owner that you will have an event on that date.

Hello fishes,
Does anybody know how much it takes to receive Revised Offer letter from Mindtree ?
I had a discussion with the recruiter on 6th May and he agreed to send the revised offer letter, but I am still awaiting it. The recruiter is not receiving my calls, not replying to my sms and emails as well.
Not sure what to do in this scenario.

I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
