Venue and registrar basically at the same time, couldn't get the date we originally wanted as the venue was already booked so had to do a week later. I don't know how people can book anything else first without knowing the venue has their date saved for them. Xx

Venue, although my hubby to be part owns the venue so didn't technically have to book it (the venue is newly open so there were no bookings when we decided) After I got the date... Videographer. Yes, I booked the video before the registrar. I would have fellt stupid if the registrar couldn't make it. Luckily my wedding is in 2019 and they were empty the entire day.
