Music Tips

Choosing music for your wedding can feel overwhelming at first, take your time, add songs as you hear them day to day. You’ll be surprised how quickly your perfect playlist comes together!

Live or Playlist?
Decide whether you’d love live music (piano, strings, acoustic) or a playlist of your favourite songs.

Ceremony
Pick songs for your entrance, signing of the register, and exit. Choose an upbeat exit song and make sure it starts straight away, you’ll walk back down the aisle as soon as it plays!

Background Music
Set the mood during guest arrival, drinks reception, and the wedding breakfast.

Evening Moments
Think about your first dance, evening playlist, and final song of the night.
Add a song request space to your RSVPs for guest favourites.

Don't Forget!
Make sure everything’s downloaded (just in case WiFi says no!).
Check who controls your music and what device you need.

Solving Planning Problems

Wedding planning can feel overwhelming at times but remember, it’s about celebrating you.

Here are a few reminders to keep the stress at bay:

✔️Don’t sweat the small stuff. Tiny details won’t make or break the day.
✔️Be flexible. Not everything will go to plan, and that’s okay.
✔️Don't be afraid to ask for help. From family, friends, or your venue team.
✔️Take breaks from planning. Have date nights without wedding chat.
✔️Remember to say no. Protect your time, budget, and boundaries.
✔️Don’t compare to others. Your wedding is unique to you.
✔️Remember why you’re doing it. Love is the focus.
✔️Have fun. It’s a celebration, not a checklist.
✔️No right or wrong. Just do what feels right for you.

Relax, enjoy the process, and trust it will all come together beautifully.

Choosing your photographer /videographer

Photography and videography are big decisions, these are the moments you’ll look back on forever.

The same space can look completely different depending on editing style, lighting and angles.

Know your style, are you drawn to dark and moody tones, light and airy or editorial
Save images you love, you’ll see trends in your choices

A great place to start researching is local suppliers or those who have worked at your venue before

Your friends photos may look different because they had a completely different style vision or budget
Focus on what suits you, not what worked for someone else

You’ll spend more time with your photographer than most people on the day, chemistry is key
Meet them first and make sure you feel relaxed around them

Ask questions
What's your approach on the day?
What's included in your package?
Do you have a 2nd shooter or can we add one?
What's your turnaround time?
