How to find the perfect wedding venue

This is a paid collaboration.

When it comes to wedding venues, some of us will have chosen their perfect venue long ago and never wavered on that is the place. For most however picking the right wedding venue can be a difficult job and one sometimes filled with frustration. As such then here are some tips for choosing that perfect wedding venue.

HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT WEDDING VENUE

Recommendations

Often you might not have a clue on where to look for what might be suitable. In our case we ended up driving by nearly everyday one of the locations that we considered for our wedding but didn’t even think of it until partway through the process. There are several sites where you can also find recommendations for all sorts of events such as Square Meal private dining restaurants, you could use them for a venue or even find a couple of perfect venues.

Personality

At the end of the day you really need to make sure that the venue you have chosen matches your personalities. Is it a place that you both like, does it match your tastes. A barn conversion, a church important to the family, a beach wedding abroad or a grand Manor House? Some could even mix several of these together for you

Budget

Unfortunately this is a massive one. You will have to stick to your weddings budget as if you use all of your budget on the location then you don’t have the money for the other things that you would want or even need.

You can definitely have a wedding on any budget!

Location

You will often have to factor location into the mix as well. As although family and friends are often willing to travel if it is too expensive then they will often not be able to afford to come. This is often the case with weddings held in other countries, friends and family just can’t afford to go.

Space

Does the venue you have in mind accommodate the amount of people you are planning to invite and who will come? If it is too small then you will need to cut down your guest list or maybe rethink the venue. Always ask how many people can be accommodated by the venue.

Catering

Many venues will already have either their own chefs, catering staff and kitchens or will have a partnership with a company that will come in to do so. These are options to keep in mind as well and could also effect the budget, as if it is a company that comes in to do the catering then you are paying for venue and the catering company. On the other hand if the venue is providing the catering, as many places will also be private dining restaurants that cater to many different events, then the cost could be more but might be lower than if you had to hire a catering company on top.

Lighting

We all love wedding photos and you will love looking back on your own wedding photos, as such you do need to check the lighting of a venue. Although a skilled photographer can do wonders for the photos they take they can’t do much about a locations natural lighting or even how the venue uses their own lights. It will be important to take a few photos when you visit to get a feel on how the light might be in your own photos.

Visit several times

Sometimes you do need to visit several times. The venue will not mind this as after all people need to be sure. Sometimes the first visit can be overwhelming with the views and information, but when you visit a second time you can often look at it more in detail, pick out things you like and dislike easier.

Get the feeling

Sometimes you will have the feeling right away but sometimes it might take a visit or two. Can you feel that you can and will be married there? Can you feel a connection to the location? Once you find that feeling then you will most likely have found your venue.

You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brin You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brings a week of content?

That’s been our whole entire day today! Lots going on this week in our personal lives, business (deliveries, checking in with web developers about our biggest project to date) and health stuff (hospital first thing tomorrow for me 😩) so today we have spent the day having a deep clean, declutter session, getting odd jobs done and even boiling eggs for easy snacks this week. I’m nothing if not thorough.

It means getting to spend some nice chilled out time reading a book, drinking some biscuit flavoured tea and winding down.

Do you use your Sunday to prep for the week ahead?

I don't know about you, but being home more has me I don't know about you, but being home more has meant that our energy bills have been increasing. We are on a mission to cut back on our energy usage and save some money. Getting a smart meter would definitely help us to keep an eye on our usage in an attempt to cut down on our energy bills and we can't wait to get one.

AD Did you know that there are even smart prepay meters? It means that as customers it is easier to track your usage and top up from the comfort of your own home. 

Check out my stories where I am sharing 5 ways we are reducing our energy usage to save money.

One of my favourite, and most unusual tips, is to pop a clean, dry towel into every load of laundry in the tumble 

dryer. This cuts down on the drying time which then helps us to use less energy.

Check out the link in my bio to learn more about prepay smart meters from @SmartEnergyGB #SmartWayToPrepay

A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my life and had a gastric bypass to improve my health.

And improve my health it did! I have reversed my diabetes and discovered I have cancer.

My journey wasn’t straight forward - I’m not where I want to be but I’m well on my way 💪🏻

Weight loss surgery is a tool and it doesn’t fix your brain. It doesn’t fix a life time of emotional eating. But it helps along the journey 💪🏻

I keep being asked for an update but I feel like there isn’t much to say. I still struggle to eat nectarines and pears. Hitting my daily protein goals is hard work. I’ve lost a lot of my hair but I like it. I am getting stuck in the same 5lb bracket where my weight is hovering,  but I don’t feel as though I have the mental strength to push through right now. If you’ve seen my stories recently then you’ll know that I’m in a very bad place mentally right now.

Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House pro Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House projects. Garden projects. Sour dough. Grow things from seed. Start that side hustle or business. Have those zoom quizzes. Go for your daily walk.

Lockdown 2: we’ve done this before, we can do it again. We are doing it for Christmas. We’ve got this 💪🏻

Lockdown 3: Nope I’m done.

And that’s okay. Let’s just do what we need to do so that we live to see another day.

Jars of...Motivation! Did these little jars save Jars of...Motivation!

Did these little jars save me from a serious head funk?

Why yes they did!

Let me explain. I've got a lot of ideas and projects on to go. Looking at my to do lists is OVERWHELMING. What do I do instead? Nothing!

Mental health and The Overwhelm had got to me. There was no 'new year, new me' this year. There was 'new year, same depressed me under a cloud of darkness who isn't getting things done'.

Until my business mentor stepped in and we came up with this strategy to make jars for some of my projects, and write out tasks to do for those projects.

Now instead of looking at a to do list, getting overwhelmed and doing nothing I have some pretty jars to pull a task out from. Okay, it isn't perfect - sometimes I pull something out that needs another task doing first so I just pop it back inside and pick out another one.

If you are struggling then I would really recommend this technique! It got me out of a funk.
