  • Budget – Decide on your budget nice and early to avoid disappointment or overspending – don’t forget to make a list of everything you need in order to avoid missing out any vital expenses!

After all, choosing an ideal wedding venue ensures nothing goes wrong- from food shortage or transportation issues!
