A date, then three questions about the checklist it built. Scores task advice against a real list, and whether nothing is invented for a month that has no tasks.
Congratulations to you both. Most couples book their venue first and their photographer second, and photographers in a popular area go about twelve months ahead. This is based on Bridebook’s 2026 UK Wedding Report, covering 7,000 UK couples.
I can build you a month-by-month plan with real dates as soon as I have even a rough year.
What year are you hoping to get married?

}With 90 guests in Sheffield on 5 June 2027, these venue options give you a useful starting point, including nearby Yorkshire choices and a range of settings. The Arches at Dean Clough is the clearest contrast in the results: a stylish industrial space about 44 km away, while Carlton Towers offers a more historic, atmospheric setting about 47 km away. Since your overall budget and preferred style are still open, treat these as broad options rather than a final shortlist.
