How on earth do you pick a place?

So this week we looked at two possible reception locations, and have lots of information from other places. How on earth does anyone make such a big decision-this early in the game? I like the hotel idea because your guests do not have to drive anywhere and the hotel does so much for you. I want the least amount of stress as possible! I like the golf course idea because alot of the golf courses are just plain beautiful.

I really liked the place we looked at last night! It is really pretty and will be able to do some of the ideas I have. I feel like that's the one, but how do you know for sure?! What if we change our minds in a few months! Eek.
