Primo dates open at amazing venues

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010


I was talking with one of my favorite people at one of my favorite venues, and they mentioned that because of a cancellation, one of THE most popular dates in the history of popular wedding dates was now open.  Yep, the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend.  WOW.

So that got me to thinking…what other venues had open dates that couples could jump on? Hey, with a killer wedding planner, you too could plan that wedding within 6 weeks, I’ve seen it done!
So I reached out to some of my favorite venues and asked them if they had any last minute openings that they would like filled.  Here you go! Please note, I’ve tried to link each venue but I’m having issues with WordPress.  :/
