Choose a Venue That Matches Your Vision

Know Your Guest Numbers

It will also help with your budget. Some costs will depend on the number of people you and your partner are inviting to your big day.

Understand What Is Included?

Speak to the organiser and check what they will include in the cost of the wedding venue hire. Some wedding venues will offer a complete wedding package that includes everything from champagne on arrival and catering to the colour scheme of your hired room or marque.

Stay True to Your Style

If you are sticking to a tight budget for your wedding day, you want to get the best value you can. Making a few changes can have a significant impact on your budget.

Choose an Out of Season Date

If the date of your wedding isn't necessary for your plans, try picking an out of wedding season date.  May, June and September are the most popular wedding months. July and August are usually booked in advance.  These months tend to be popular because the weather is often much more delightful. However, this is the UK, so the weather is never really guaranteed.

Go for a Mid-Week Wedding

Traditionally weddings tend to be held on Saturdays. If you pick a different day, the cost can be somewhat cheaper.

Which Month?

January, March, April and November are better months for your budget when choosing wedding venues.

Which Day?
