With 85 days to go until my own wedding, I thought I’d share a little behind-the-scenes of how I’m using my planner expertise and industry knowledge to plan my own day.

Let’s start with one of the biggest decisions… finding the venue.

Your venue truly sets the tone for the entire wedding day.

For me, the first thing I considered was numbers.We’ve chosen an intimate celebration with 60 guests, which instantly helped narrow down venues that would still feel full of energy without being too large.

Next, I knew I wanted something close to home with beautiful outdoor space. I had a clear vision of a relaxed garden-party vibe, drinks outside, guests mingling, lots of greenery and natural light. But being realistic (hello Welsh weather ☔), having a beautiful indoor setting for Plan B was essential.

Here are 5 things I always recommend couples consider when searching for their venue:

✨ 1. Guest count first
Your numbers will immediately determine which venues work logistically and which spaces will feel right for your celebration.

✨ 2. Indoor + outdoor flow
Even if you dream of an outdoor wedding, always check the wet weather plan and make sure the indoor option still feels special.

✨ 3. Guest experience
Think about how the day flows for guests, ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and dancing. Are the spaces connected and easy to move between?

✨ 4. Exclusive use & privacy
Having the venue to yourselves can completely transform the atmosphere and make the day feel much more personal.

✨ 5. Does it reflect you as a couple?
The best venues don’t just look beautiful, they feel right and reflect your personalities and the style of celebration you’re creating.

This is where working with a planner can really help,we know how to narrow down venues that align with your vision and how they’ll actually work on the day.

If you’re considering Wales, there are some incredible venues I love;

When planning your big day, it’s important to understand the difference between a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator - while both support your celebration, their roles are distinct.

Wedding Planner:
A wedding planner is your partner from the very beginning. They guide you through the entire planning process - from budget creation and venue selection to vendor recommendations, design concepts, timelines, and logistics. Planners help shape your vision, manage contracts, track payments, and ensure every detail comes together seamlessly over the months leading up to your wedding.

Wedding Coordinator:
A wedding coordinator (often called a day-of or month-of coordinator) steps in closer to the wedding date. Their primary role is to execute the plans you’ve already made. They confirm details with vendors, create a detailed event timeline, manage the rehearsal, and oversee the wedding day to ensure everything runs smoothly so you and your loved ones can relax and enjoy the celebration.

In short: a planner helps you build the plan, while a coordinator brings it to life. ✨️

Step 2: Lock in the BIG foundations 🏛️

These are the decisions that shape your entire wedding. Get these right, and everything else falls into place.

Venue – Your date, style, guest numbers, and budget all hinge on this. The best venues book fast, so this is priority one.

Registrar / Celebrant – Often overlooked but essential. No Registrar = no legal wedding. The right one also sets the tone of your ceremony.

Ceremony + Reception Timing – This affects photography, styling, catering, and guest experience. A solid timeline prevents stress later.

✨ Book these early—they dictate your entire planning journey.

💍 Newly engaged and not sure where to start? Let me help. ❤️

Step 1: Set the budget & expectations 💸

Before you dive into planning, ask yourself:

✔️ What can we realistically spend?
✔️ What kind of wedding fits our lifestyle?
✔️ Do you actually have the time to plan a wedding?

Busy schedules, demanding careers, family commitments?

This is where you decide if a full planner, partial planner, or on-the-day coordination will save your time, energy, and sanity ✨

You don’t have to do this alone. Whether it's full planning or just on the day coordination, support = less stress, more joy and a wedding you actually enjoy ❤️
