Keep in close touch with the venue’s on-site planner to work out the details such as wedding flowers, cateringand photography. Choose your wedding dress, suit, gown or tuxedo since they might need alterations and fittings. Send out wedding invitations 4 to 5 months before your big day so that your guests would have enough time to respond and plan their schedules. Decide on your wedding bands and prepare your vows. Apply for a marriage licence, and set appointments for wedding hair and makeup one month before. Handle the little details and start the countdown!

What questions should I ask when looking for a wedding venue in Hunter Valley?

Learn the guidelines for wedding decorations, preferred caterers, and parking options for your guests. If you plan to have a budget wedding, ask whether they allow for BYO. Continue with the questions related to payment, photography and rain back-up plan if you're having an outdoor wedding. Don’t be shy and ask everything you have in mind for a perfect celebration!
