Wedding update - Looking for THE venue

Over the past two weeks, we've been browsing different wedding websites to select potential venues for our wedding.
After checking availability, which seems not to be a problem given it’s in December and a Thursday, we’ve made appointments to visit most of them. Strangely, out of the 22 we were interested into, 9 didn’t bother to reply. Seems we will take our business elsewhere.
Three were clearly out of budget or too big or even not open after 11pm.
Leaving us with 10 venues to visit.
Friday we started with the Solvay library, which we loved.
Saturday we visited the Metropole hotel which ballroom turned out disappointing compare to the Art Deco lobby.
Later on we went to Chateau du Lac in Genval and Palais des Colonies in Tervuren, which both have potential.
Choosing a wedding venue is like looking for a new apartment, you need to have a feeling about the place to start with. Then you need to factor in things like cost, access, flexibility, contact, etc. which might change the ranking.
Next week we will visit another 5 venues and will select our short list. Let’s see what the other venues look like… and how they fit in the budget.
