    Congratulations!

    I am also on a tight budget and getting married in September, we are getting married on Friday 17th, how about you?

    our plan is fairly similar to you, we are having an intimate reg office wedding with immediate family only at 3.30 and then will have photos in our local town gardens (very pretty location) which i estimate will be until 5pm.

    we are not having the reception in a hotel but are having an evening reception only. we are hiring a venue and catering ourselves so between 5-7pm we will all go off to collect the food and take it to the venue and then our reception will start at 7pm :-)

    good luck with all your planning :-)

    Not sure on the date yet but we are hoping for a Friday.

    Good idea about hiring a venue where you can get your own caterer, will look into that ;)

    Good luck with your planning too :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
