Thanks for the advice and the shared excitement over my venue, everyone! Your response has been an amazing encouragement!I have been tremendously disappointed as of late, as day after day over the last two months of searching for a venue has proven itself fruitless. And this after three years of doing my homework! Lest any of you should despair as I did - be encouraged! Sometimes, even all of your hardwork is not the answer in the end. Sometimes it's just keeping your eyes peeled for any opportunity. Sometimes, it's using the resources around you and talking to friends and family.
And sometimes, it's just dumb luck. (Me.)
Keep a stiff upper lip - it's not as hopeless as it seems, I promise. =)
WestsideWedding: normally, Shinto closes early on Sundays, so instead of turning business away for a night, they're just staying open a little longer. More cost effective. In fact, they even told us up front that if we held it on a Friday or Saturday night, it would take a lot more to justify it.
The greater Cleveland area is not a happenin' place on Sunday nights.
chicncheap: I will definitely keep an eye on that bar tab when we talk to the EC on Wednesday. Thanks for the heads up!
Cross your fingers for us, and pray this won't cost more than we've been led to believe!

oh good luck tomorrow! after reading yesterday's post i'm really really hoping this works out for you. it sounds absolutely fabulous!
Also remember to include tax and tip (at least 25% depending on your tax rate). It is likely the restaurant will have a 20% service charge or administration charge. Ask if their staff will be tipped also by you or them.
Crossing fingers! When you meet with them make sure they give you a proposal that has all the hidden fees, this would include the service charge that chicncheap is talking about & any other hidden fees.
