Why We Sometimes Have Prime Dates Available

Sometimes it happens… I get the short notice call about a prime date.  Those dates are typically in October, November, March and April.  In Arizona, those are the months with predictably nice weather.  It would normally be unusual for us (or any venue for that matter) to have dates in these months open with short notice.

At Virginia’s House, we do things a little differently.  We allow you to move your event date without losing any deposits.  You are able to move your date to another date within a year of the original scheduled date.  There is no penalty for this and all of your payments and deposits will follow you to your new date.  From what I can gather – we’re the only venue in town that does this.  We just think it’s good business.  It’s even better karma.

We live in a real household with a real family with real life things that get in the way.  Our assumption is that our brides do, too.  We’ve had couples who lost their jobs, were in horrific car accidents or had family members with frightening and sometimes terminal illnesses.  The dates don’t always get pushed back, sometimes they get moved forward.

So… if you see that our venue is “dark” on a prime date – it’s because we exercise grace and opt to help our couples out.  And sometimes that comes at the expense of not rebooking that date.  It’s a risk I’m willing to take for those who love deeply.
