DS got married this weekend. We only realized a few weeks ahead of time that the destination venue was not handicap accessible. DH is in a wheelchair, and would need to use the restroom during the course of the day.
The venue (in MD) said it was not required to be ADA compliant because it was a private entity. I find that hard to believe. I will be calling the county zoning department today.
The venue let us put a portable toilet in a garage, which DH used. Not acceptable in my mind. Surely in their three years in business other guests would show up in wheelchairs, walkers, etc. The site is an old house converted, and the ceremonies are all outdoors. But bathrooms are indoors. And every door had several steps.
