    I kind of understand the policy of one wedding per day - after all, you want your venue's staff to be focused on your function, but having worked in plenty of places where a wedding, a massive Christmas party and a fully working á la carte restaurant were ticking away nicely all at once in various corners of the place I think the "one bride on the premises" policies are actually quite awful.

    What's going to happen if a bride on her way to the jacks happens to see a glimpse of another woman sitting in a white dress at the bar having a quite drink? Is it like seeing a doppelgänger where you are supposed to die or something?

    Are there actually brides out there that are so insecure that the mere presence of another bride checking in at reception causes the ruination of of their wedding to the extent the venue needs it in a contract?

    I guess so!

    I do understand where the venues are coming from though. Particularly in this increasingly litigious society of ours... if it's in the contract and the venues breaks those terms and conditions, then in theory they could be on the hook for a lot of money. Emotional distress? :rolleyes: Not to mention the bad review costing them future business!

    I'm glad I got in touch ahead of time though. Could you imagine if I hadn't, went to check in at silly AM and they made a song and dance about it? It would completely ruin my day! I'm no bridezilla, but I don't want to be made feel ashamed of the fact that it's my wedding day. The only reason I even thought to ask is because I randomly came across a story online of someone it did actually happen to.

    At least we have options though. Just wanted to post them here in case anyone else does a search in the future - might come in handy for them!
