So excited!!!

4 Posts
Hi everyone. I'm a regular on MSE and currently planning our wedding. But I know some of my friends and a couple of members of my family are also regular users so I decided to create a new user so I can ask for help and advice without them knowing. I hope!
Anyway, just thought I'd say hi. We're just starting out. We've got a couple of venues in mind but that's all so far. So I'll probably need all the help i can get. It's so overwhelming isn't it? OH is pretty laid back about it and would be happy to get married anywhere.

Do you have a date in mind yet? Most important things to do first are:
1) Set date (make it at least a year in advance to make sure all the suppliers you want are available)
2) Book your church/venue - try and look at a few different venues to ensure you pick the right one for you!
3) Book the registrar (if you're having a civil ceremony rather than a church do)
4) Relax for a bit
Once these major things are done, you'll have ages to sort the rest out. I booked my venue about 18 months in advance, and then barely did any planning at all for the next 6 months.
Good luck and enjoy the planning - it'll go faster than you think!
We're off to see two venues at the weekend so fingers crossed
Also, check whether there's anything they don't allow. We went to one venue and were told we couldn't have red wine, other than with the meal.
I hope that helps!
Get wedding insurance sorted asap- we couldn't book reception venue without that for public liability insurance.

I couldn't. I rang up about 3 weeks before 12 months in advance and Trafford said 'no, ring us on 27th' . They certainly did not mention any option of paying a little more to book there and then. May depend on the authority
