After the drama that unfolded with our original venue, we had no option but to cancel. It did take several interesting phone calls before they agreed to refund our deposit (no apology mind you, just an admission that “perhaps” we had been “misinformed” not “mislead” ) but thankfully it’s all over and we can put it behind us now.
As no one (especially me) wants to revisit all the drama & heartache we went through with those vendors, & see all the hard work we put in, only to be wasted. I have removed our initial planning posts that involved those venues, but everything will stay the same.
So moving on, we are going on a road trip this weekend to find a new and even better venue. We are a little wiser and a lot more prepared, so hopefully won’t fall for the same sales tricks & plays on words that have plagued us till now.
We only have a limited amount of time and a lot of places to see so we have narrowed down the must see list in order and then we also have a backup list if needed. In order the must see list is as follows (remembering that our 1st choice the gorgeous Barrel Room at Peppers Creek is fully booked (although we were able to secure the chapel) and Peppers Guest House & Sebel are a dead set NO)
Tuscany Wine Estate
Audury Wilkerson
Hope Estate
Peterson’s champagne House
Tamburlaine
Hungerford Hill
The Vintage
Catersifeld House
Hopefully we won’t need it but our back up list is…
Margan – not convinced on this one so it’s moving to the back up list
The Veranda Restaurant
Hunter resort
Tulloch
Ideally I would love to find something similar to the Peppers Creek Barrel Room
