Is there a wedding website/ app/ excel sheet anything you can share that can help with wedding planning and venues. Any venues that I see online are one exorbitant but more so either have their own catering/ preferred vendors so near impossible to get halal food.
I am on the east coast, my family is in Texas, the girls family on the west coast so really we are open to any part of the country at this point. (Just no beach venues)

A1 - Come on mate! I can maybe [try] see your point of view, but wrong thread. Plus your tone doesn’t resonate as advice.

OP - Bro, you could have just ignored A1 incendiary remarks! Maybe they were just preparing you for nosy extended family members! /s

Good luck in your search and don’t forget to negotiate! My hubs and I got married in the super expensive Bay Area but he tried to keep costs as low as possible by coaching me to not show too much emotion when I really liked something and him expertly sending bids from different vendors to each other to get price matching from lower cost options which helped us get what we really wanted at more reasonable prices

Also your thing on the halal food, some venues will allow the outside caterer if it’s because of dietary restrictions/preferences and then charge a lower rate for the cutlery/soda service. That number they tell you for this per person is also negotiable!

What happened to simple nikaahs and umrah. Lolol

It was a joke. Everybody too uptight

Wedding and related events can cost 25-50% more than your budget if you’re unwilling (or unable) to offend people -- i.e. by limiting the guest list or not picking the venue of their choice.

Check out some fancy restaurants (halal) that offer private events. That is an option worth exploring.

Also check out https://www.theknot.com.

Good luck and congrats on your upcoming wedding, inshAllah.

Thanks knot is where I have been poking around but sadly any venues I like are not in Urban centers and that makes hala catering so hard and Impossible and as much as I d like I think people will the call the wedding off lol if I suggested vegetarian option for a desi Muslim wedding lol

Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
