An intimate wedding is classed as a small wedding with up to 30 guests. Other than that the rest is completely up to you and the same principles apply as if you were holding a larger wedding.

When it comes to marquee weddings, you have masses of choices! Broadly speaking, you get to choose everything, as it is a pop-up event space; everything is selected and chosen by you. This will start with the address your marquee will be installed at, go through to the timings of your day, the style of the marquee you wish to hire, the size of the marquee, the finish of the marquee, and all the fittings and fixtures within the marquee. In terms of your day, you get the maximum amount of choice with a marquee – there are far fewer restrictions on your wedding day than at any other style of venue. If you have set ideas and are struggling to find a bricks-and-mortar wedding venue that will provide it, then a marquee is probably going to fulfil your needs.

Of all of the components that constitute a successful big day, the venue is arguably the most important. Where you celebrate your nuptials with family and friends has to be perfect for your needs, as it will account for 30-40% of your total budget in most cases. There are lots of different styles of venue to consider, but one type which I find is really popular with my clients is an Exclusive Use Wedding Venue.

Hiring a wedding planner can sometimes be seen as an extra rather than an essential part of planning a wedding. But for the right celebration and the right couple, professional planning support can make an enormous difference. A wedding planner isn't simply there to find suppliers or make things look beautiful. Much of the real work happens behind the scenes: managing budgets, reviewing logistics, coordinating suppliers, anticipating problems, keeping plans moving and making sure hundreds of individual decisions eventually come together as one coherent celebration.
