Budget

I was engaged about a month ago now and the Hunter is no question where we want to be married so I've been browsing through YHVWP for venues that are small & beautiful because we want no more than 50 people...just had our engagement party of 95 and it was ridiculous! I didn't have time to get around to everyone and it just stressed me out worrying about everyone else all night...good things come in small packages I've found!

At the begining of every wedding book it seems to ask you to set your budget but i don't see how that's possible without knowing what everything will cost...I'd like my dress to be under 1K but who's to say i won't fall i love with something that's 3K...just struggling with how to start.

Do you just guess and try and stick to it?? Also, it would be helpful in the mag if they had approx prices of things so you know a ballpark before calling places. Maybe a case study of a wedding describing decorations, venue, cake etc and how much everything cost so newbies can see what they're in for! Bombon-thingys for example, how much are they supposed to be?

Smaller venues......

Hi

I'm new to planning and am set to get married in the Hunter in Nov 2010. With me being from the UK its going to be quite a small wedding and im struggling to find great venues for the reception that will hold around 40 guests. I'm also wondering if anyone has any tips to prolong the day as I was hoping to get married early afternoon but ideally want the celebrations to go through to midnight. I know you generally only get 5 hours packages....Any advice is greatly appreciated :-)

I'm First! First time for everything!

Hi Hunter Valley Wedding Planner! I'm first on here ...yay me.

I'm planning my wedding in the Hunter & I LOVE your magazine...it has helped me so much to investigate all the options available - big job, I'm slowly organising now for 2011 - so my timelime is about 2 years.
