Hi, we are starting to plan our wedding for 2023. But where do I start? Any...

I think that once you have your venue sorted, everything else is made infinitely easier. You have an idea of space, vibe, where caters can go etc etc. It will also likely be one of your biggest costs so sorting it out first gives you a clear idea of your budget

I would get a wedding organiser and then work through the book. However, I would book your registrar soon as they have already opened up the calendars

Start booking things aka venue, registry, photographer ect

Get the bridebook app it’s so good to start off I think and look at different venues ect and write a rough list

Find a venue 1st, get availability, book the church/registrar and then confirm the venue. Once you know your venue you can then start to think about a theme/colours etc and start ordering bits (that's the fun part 😁). Pinterest is great for inspiration x

Start with a budget... then a venue... then everything else seems much easier

Venue and Registrar and Photographer... after that it’s all the good fun stuff 🥰🥰

Get a book or a folder and write every single thing down!!!! That's what I've done for our wedding next year. Jot down all your quotes etc. Venue would be first thing to sort 😊

Venue..... 100 % first thing. Most hotels offer packages for example, makes sorting everything else much less stressful and helps with budgeting!!

I've used bridebook as I had no idea where to start. Its so helpful! Can find suppliers, venues guest list budgets everything! X

Defo get numbers first as it might have a bearing on your venue!

I’d say guest list first. Need to know how many you plan on having so when you look at venues you know how many people they can hold/cater for x

Venue and registrar first, but you also need a rough number of guests as the venues will ask when looking to book! Then photographer, car etc

I found it easier to go for a Package deal 🙂
I looked at venues that offered a place to get married, the meals and the evening party. It took a lot of extra stress off looking for 2 places and your guests don’t have to travel back and fore.
Then it’s the photographer, florist and decorator - it’s much easier having everything in one place 🙂

Definitely once you’ve got the venue sorted everything else flows. I felt really anxious and as soon as we walked into the place we decided on we just knew 😊
