When it comes to planning your wedding it can be one of the most exciting, as well as one of the most stressful things you ever have to do. With so many different things to consider to ensure your big day is a success, staying on top of things is vital. Whether it’s booking your venue early or ensuring you have a great menu, you need to be sure you have all of the essentials sorted. With that in mind, here are 6 essentials for a great wedding:
A Stunning Or Unique Venue
The first thing you need to find is an amazing venue. Whether you pick something that is traditional or go for something a little more unique, having a venue in place should be one of your main priorities. If you’re struggling to find the perfect location, the best thing to do is ensure you’re seeing as many different options as you possibly can. Whilst it may take some time, you never know what venue might surprise you. For more tips and tricks when it comes to finding the perfect venue, you can visit this guide here.
A Beautiful Ceremony
Another important aspect of your wedding is the ceremony, as ultimately this is the main reason you’ll be getting married. Whilst some people like to have a big ceremony surrounded by the people they love, you can also opt for a more personal and intimate reception. Consider both options, deciding whether or not you want to go for something that is a little quieter in comparison to most.
A Menu You Both Love
If you’re going to be hosting a wedding that takes place over a number of hours, you’re going to need to think about the food you’re going to serve. For some, this means thinking about what you’re going to do for both the daytime and evening events. Consider the number of people you have attending, what their dietary requirements may be and what kind of foods represent you and your partner.

A Talented Wedding Band For The Evening Reception
If you are going to be having an evening reception as well as a day time one, you will need to ensure you have great entertainment. Whilst most people will opt for a DJ, having a wedding band is also a great option. Live music is a great way to get people on their feet and dancing, so if that’s what you’re after you may want to consider someone like The Dukes.
A Photographer And Videographer To Capture Every Moment
Your wedding day is going to be one of the most amazing days of your life, so you want to ensure you have absolutely every moment of it on camera. Whether you decide to go with a photographer, a videographer or both – you want to be sure you have picked someone with the right style and skills. Make sure you’re speaking to as many different people as you possibly can, checking examples of all of their past work.
Your Perfect Guest List
Finally, what wedding would be complete without an incredible guest list? Whether you’re having a small wedding or a large get-together, you need to ensure you have invited absolutely everyone you want to share this special day with. The best thing to do when it comes to writing a list is think of everyone you want to attend, narrowing it down one by one if you’re short on numbers. Remember, if you have a small budget you can always throw a larger celebration at a later date.
