Vision, then a guest count, then two budget refusals, then a year. Scores what a rapport fact writes, and whether a refusal is honoured.

Turn 1the opener

Congratulations on your engagement! Most couples book their venue first and their photographer second, and photographers in a popular area go about twelve months ahead. I work from real UK data, including Bridebook’s 2026 UK Wedding Report (7,000 UK couples).

I can create a month-by-month plan using your real dates once I have even a rough year.

What year are you thinking of getting married?

Honestly we just want it to feel like a really good party — everyone actually relaxed, no stiff formal bits, people staying on the dancefloor.

That gives us a clear north star: a relaxed venue layout, generous food and bar service, and excellent dancefloor music matter more than formal traditions. I’d prioritise a space where guests can move easily between the bar, tables and dancing, then protect the budget for the band or DJ and late-night food.

Once I have even a rough year, I can shape the planning around the right deadlines. What year are you thinking of getting married?

Around 90.

Around 90 guests gives us a strong starting point. For the party atmosphere you want, prioritise a venue with a compact layout, a well-placed dancefloor, a bar nearby and permission for music to run late. A seated dinner with minimal formalities, followed by an early move into dancing, will keep the energy up without making the day feel rigid.

Saved: Guest estimate: ~90

Not sure yet, honestly.

No problem — you don’t need a date yet. For now, your useful brief is simply: around 90 guests, relaxed atmosphere, minimal formalities and a strong dancefloor; once the year is clearer, I can turn that into the right planning timetable.

No savings figure yet. We're aiming for 2027 though.

2027 gives you plenty of time to shape the day around the party atmosphere you want, without needing every detail decided yet. You don’t need an exact savings figure at this stage; even a comfortable total budget would let me suggest venues and suppliers that genuinely fit around 90 guests.

What total budget would feel comfortable for you?

What should we focus on next?

Your next focus is Begin Exploring Venues! The venue sets your date, capacity, catering options and much of the style, and the plan is currently dated from June 2027 because you only have a year so far.

A month, even a rough one, would rebuild the timeline around your real dates. Which month or season are you considering?
