This week – Step 5… from Swindon Wedding Photographers, Kenneth Light Studios, series on “How to choose a venue in 5 easy steps!” How much time and effort do you have for planning (leave no stone unturned):

1.) No time to breathe = Turn-Key – just show up an enjoy 2.) Some spare time = sprinkle of DIY – what will you handle, what will the Venue handle 3.) Plenty of time and extra help = complete DIY – friends family decorating and cooking

*A word of caution for DIY… while DIY weddings can be so very personal and personalized, be sure to account for Murphy’s Law – because it WILL happen. A wise woman once said “Happiness is how well you handle Plan B”, so, make certain to have a “Plan B”, just in case…

Once you’ve envisioned what your perfect day is like, write it down and stick to it as much as possible. Visiting venues can sometimes become overwhelming with all they have to offer and so many details to address. By making a list it will be much less stressful and much more fun for you both!
