Awhile ago, Clay and I found, what we thought, was the perfect place to have our wedding. We saw the place a couple of times and it's beautiful. It's a 10,000 square foot loft in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's sunny and bright and it's got skylights and 2 rooms which would be great for the ceremony and the reception. After a couple of weeks of trying to get the owners to send me a contract so I could hand over the deposit, today I learned that they don't want to take our deposit yet because THEY MAY NOT BE ALLOWING WEDDINGS AND OTHER EVENTS TO TAKE PLACE IN THE SPACE ANYMORE!
Apparently, they had a wedding in the space recently and someone got drunk. The drunkard ended up hurting himself really badly and may sue the loft owner and the building. The building may not allow them to have events anymore if they get sued.
Needless to say, this is terrible news. We love the space. It is perfect for our wedding and the amount of people we're inviting. I was happy to have this crossed of the list of things to do. Now, we may have to go back to square one. They said I should call back next week and they'll know for sure if they'll be allowed to rent the space for events. I really hope we can still have our wedding there. My heart was sort of set on it. We wanted to get married next year on November 22nd. We still have time to find another place if we have to, but really, this is NY and some of the places we were looking at were already booked for next year. This sucks.
