I don't think it's at all too early - I think its best to sort out the venue/church stuff as soon as poss, then you know what you're working towards. I'm getting married 3rd Dec 2011 and I've booked it all already. I'm not planning on buying anything else for a while yet though!
CommentAuthorSteffie
Thanks for all your advice ladies! I feel so much better thanks xx
CommentAuthorMrs Daltry
its never to early to start looking,,,they get booked up fast to go for it hun
CommentAuthorCeCe
I do not think there is any problem with getting the serious stuff looked into PRONTO!
The earlier you see them the better chance you can book the day you want! I say go look!
CommentAuthorMrs Rebecca Hossfeld
Always best to look early, get deposits n early because when you find the one you want & wait too long you'll be gutted if it goes!
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
Its also useful to find out what you both like..... I liked places like zoos and boats, Pidge liked more traditional venues- we went for a small hotel.

It's never too early!! The day will come round quicker than you know!! :)
CommentAuthorKerrylou
I was looking at venues before we'd even set a date - now THAT is organised lol Get all your big stuff done sooner rather than later - but be warned, because it's more than 6 months away h2b probably won't understand why you're looking hehe
I'd love Warwick Castle.........take him to see it, you never know, he might feel differently ;)
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D
CommentAuthorLou lou

CommentAuthormrs pinkalice

CommentAuthorSteffie
THAT'S GREAT guys!!!! and Kerrylou i will take him to the castle to show him x
CommentAuthorshellay
its never too early to start planning and looking at things, especially if places are very popular you will need to book early :)x
I have know my soulmate for 27 years and on the 6th August
I married him and became Mrs Garnham.
It was most definitely the happiest day of my life.
I love married life !!!!
CommentAuthorKerrylou
YAY!! You might just get your Princess wedding yet :D What you'll find is that men have a really fixed idea in their head about things like venues, if you want one he's doesn't think he's fond of then drag him round and sell the idea - give him a big picture of it's potential :)

We're not getting married til Summer 2012 and have already viewed 2 venues, going to view the 3rd soon (which is the one I LOVE)
It's never too early, the earlier you look, the better idea of your budget you'll get - that's what's helping us work out ours anyway lol
Like Shellay said, if the places are popular it's better to book early
CommentAuthorkyliem18
hey Steffie! it's definitely not too early to book as we've booked for September 2012 and as other girls have been saying it is amazing how things book up so quick! a good thing about it too which we found is that our venue is guaranteeing us next years prices so you never know you could get a deal like that too :) x

CommentAuthorLoubie

CommentAuthorWalesfromafar
It's never too early. We're getting married June 2012 and a lot of the wedding is already planned, just not booked up. I look up ideas that I like and then h2b chooses from those x
CommentAuthorGeordie_Nikki

CommentAuthorSteffie

CommentAuthorSuzi
We decided to get married, by the end of the next day the venue was booked! Admittedly we had less than a year to the day of the wedding so we had to get a move on! GO FOR IT! x
Do not disturb... Already disturbed enough!
CommentAuthorSteffie
awwww Suzi i wish that Anthony had the same amount of enthusiasm!!! :) I proposed to Ant on 13th Feb at a meal on a floating Chinese restaurant so I think I've just taken him by suprise so he's still getting used to it haha x
CommentAuthorKizzy81
We're getting married in the grounds of a National Trust property not far from Stratford and can't wait!!! Get looking and booking - the time will fly by!
CommentAuthorTinsel
We are getting married today in two years' time and have been looking at venues already. Unfortunately, everywhere we like is so expensive. So it is worth starting early to get the best choice :o)
07.04.12 - the best day of my life!

CommentAuthorKirsty
Never too early, we got engaged at the start of April and 3 weeks after we had our venue booked and deposit paid. If you are after a Sat wedding in the summer months they get snaped up fast. We only had 5 Sats to choose from :-) xx
CommentAuthorSteffie
Not too early chick we're getting married in sept 2012 and weve found our place and just saving up now!!!! xx
CommentAuthorRoxii
Never too early Steffi, We've picked ours and we're not getting married for 4 years, the best ones always get booked up the quickest x
