Decide on a budget:
It’s important to decide on a budget for your wedding early on. Make sure to include all the details, from the venue fee to the cost of your dream dress and catering.
Choose your venue:
First of all, you’ll need to choose your venue. At Unique Norfolk Venues, we have a variety of stunning venues to choose from, including historic castles, rustic barns, and elegant manor houses. Once you’ve chosen your venue, you can start planning the rest of your wedding around it.
Set a date:
Once you’ve chosen your venue, it’s time to set a date for your wedding. Consider the time of year, the weather, and any holidays or events that might affect availability.
Hire a wedding planner:
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a wedding planner to help you with the details. We have a team of experienced planners who can help you with everything from decor to entertainment.
Catering:
The food is an essential part of any wedding, so be sure to choose a caterer that can create a delicious menu that suits your taste and dietary requirements. We offer in-house catering with a range of menus to choose from, including vegan and gluten-free options.
Décor:
The décor will help set the tone for your wedding and make it feel unique to you. Whether you want a rustic or elegant theme, we recommend starting your décor planning early to ensure everything is perfect on the day. If you have a wedding planner, you can work with them to create a cohesive theme and decor for your wedding.
Photography:
Your wedding photos will be treasured for years to come, so it’s essential to choose a photographer who can capture all the special moments of your day. At Unique Norfolk Venues, we work with some amazing photographers, and we can help you find the perfect match for your style and budget.
Entertainment:
Whether you want a live band, a DJ, or something more unique, entertainment is a crucial part of any wedding. We have a list of recommended entertainment suppliers to choose from to help make your wedding unforgettable.
Transportation:
Transportation is a crucial aspect of wedding planning. It’s essential to plan ahead and provide your transportation provider with all the necessary information such as pickup and drop-off locations and times. Having a backup plan is also a good idea in case of unexpected issues. If you have many guests to transport, hiring a coach or mini-bus could be a good choice.
Send out invitations:
Once you’ve chosen your vendors and set a date, it’s time to send out invitations to your guests. Make sure to include all the important details, like the date, time, and location of your wedding.
Finalise details:
In the weeks leading up to your wedding, make sure to finalise all the details, from your menu to your transportation. You want to make sure everything is in place so you can relax and enjoy your special day.
By following this wedding planning checklist, you can stay organised and keep track of all the essential details to make your wedding day everything you’ve ever dreamed of.
