Indoor venue... secure outdoor back up?

Hello summer/ Ontario 2021 brides!
We currently have an AMAZING venue to work with for our reception... however it is an indoor facility with no outdoor option. The venue has provided lots of options except a refund, which I think is fair all things considered. I was able go find another venue that has an outdoor terrace on the same day 30 mins away from church where our ceremony is taking place but it would mean putting a deposit and essentially planning a second backup wedding. Fiancé says ballroom or backyard (with close family only) and make the best of the situation. He also says we can’t decide anything until we are closer to our day/ mid to late May. By that time, I think the terrace will be gone. We’ve already postponed a year from 2020 and I’m not interested in postponing again. Wedding is July 3. We do have the option of postponing the reception to end of September or November... but that doesn’t excite me ... thoughts?

    I agree, it is tough. If we can't have our reception of 25 people, we'll have one next year when things are hopefully more under control. Or if things get in the way of having a formal postponed reception (ie she gets pregnant), we'll just have several makeup parties at a restaurant (one for friends, one for family etc).

    Thanks ... it’s been tough and I find I’m spending so much time thinking about a possible solution to what seems like an impossible situation

    I won't sugar coat it, depending on where you are, it is highly unlikely you'll be allowed more than 10 people indoors, especially if you're in the GTA. If that bugs you, then your only option is to postpone. If you really don't want to postpone, then you'll need to accept the fact that your wedding may only have 10 people. Hopefully your deposit is enough to cover a nice dinner for 10.

    I personally wouldn't book a second venue, especially not for the same day. What are you going to do with the first if you end up using the second? You already said you won't get a refund on it.
