Planning Your Wedding Day

  • Set a date and book with your place of worship/registrar.
  • Check out venues and confirm your booking.
  • If your wedding is to be on a weekend between Easter & October or in December you will need to book many of your services below well in advance to ensure that the ones you want are available (this is not how most guide sheets advise but, if you want your first choice, trust us on this one).

Many will require deposits to secure your booking so you do need to budget for this early but it's less to pay out later:
