Long Weekend Vendor Bender…

Long Weekend Vendor Bender…

We took advantage of the long weekend and made the trek up to Maine for a ’vendor bender’. Unfortunately, it was prom weekend, so the florists and salons were pretty busy!

We revisited our venue (Mr. Gloss had never actually been on the boat) and checked out where the tent would be located, the bathroom/kitchen situation, etc.

They are cleaning up the boat for the season so there was ’stuff’ everywhere -

Maybe we can go to this little cute getaway gazebo to steal a private moment or two?

We also found a florist. We haven’t signed a contract yet (awaiting quotes) but I have a good feeling about it! We also hired a bartender that costs $20 an hour. Score! I found someone to do my hair. She seems knowledgeable - I will definitely schedule a trial before the big day. (Cost: $25 for the day of!!! Not just the trial!! I was S H O C K E D!)

Finally, some people who don’t charge you an arm and a leg to get married! Let me just say it was a nice change of pace.

Have you been pleasantly surprised by any of your wedding costs?

I was shocked at the cost of my cupcakes - only $100. It seems really low for fancy wedding cupcakes.
That’s a GREAT price for hair!

@Mrs. Tiramisu: I know! Maybe it will offset all those extra travel fees for everything else

We camped on Moosehead Lake last weekend…it’s just breathtaking! And when we stopped at the Black Frog for lunch on the way home, there was the SS Katahdin at the dock next door. Gorgeous!!
