If your planning on marrying within the year then you will need to have a couple of dates in mind as most couples will book at least 18 months in advance.

Have you thought about if you’d like a band or a DJ – again you will need to get this booked as soon as you can.

Visiting numerous wedding fayres is always good for getting ideas. I would recommend looking through our education videos to learn what you need to be looking out for at these fayres. They tend to take place at the beginning of the year then again at the latter end of the year.
