Welcome back to the Your Wedding Unlimited podcast! 🎉 Abby, UK wedding planner and owner of Elegance Unlimited, is here to guide you through wedding planning with ease, excitement, and expertise. In this episode, Abby tackles one of the biggest decisions you'll make in your planning journey: choosing the perfect wedding venue. Here's what you'll learn:

• Why your wedding venue is the foundation of your entire day.
• Key factors to consider when narrowing down your venue options.
• How to balance budget, guest count, and personal priorities.

Key Takeaways:

• Know Your Budget: Determine the maximum you're willing to spend on a venue, including potential extra costs like catering or rentals.
• Draft a Guest List: Have a rough idea of your guest count to ensure your venue is the right size for your celebration.
• Identify Priorities: Decide on non-negotiables (e.g., atmosphere, style, or specific features like accommodation).
• Ask the Right Questions: Clarify details such as included services, setup times, and flexibility with vendors.
• Trust Your Gut: Beyond practicalities, choose a venue that feels right and aligns with your wedding vision.

Practical Tips:

• Visit a limited number of venues to avoid decision fatigue.
• Ensure your venue can accommodate your guest count comfortably without feeling too cramped or too empty.

Welcome back to the Your Wedding Unlimited podcast! 🎉 Abby, UK wedding planner and owner of Elegance Unlimited, is here again to guide you through wedding planning with a sense of calm, confidence, and control. In this episode, Abby focuses on:

• Why setting a budget is one of the most critical early steps in wedding planning.
• The three essential steps to determining your wedding budget.

Key Takeaways:

Three Steps to Setting Your Budget:

1. Discuss and agree on your dream number—how much you’d ideally like to spend.

Tips for Sticking to Your Budget:

• Set aside 10% of your budget as an emergency fund for unforeseen expenses.
• Avoid rash decisions, even when tempted by discounts or limited-time offers.
