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.
I work from real UK data, including Bridebook’s 2026 UK Wedding Report, based on 7,000 UK couples. I can create a month-by-month plan with your real dates once I know even a rough year.
What year are you thinking of getting married?

We just got engaged! Thinking June 2027.
Congratulations to you both! June 2027 gives you roughly nine months to shape the day, with enough time to make thoughtful choices without needing everything decided now.
The venue, guest count and overall budget will eventually shape almost every other decision, so keep those three broad foundations in mind as you explore ideas.

Around £25,000 all in.
£25,000 all in gives you a workable starting point for June 2027. A standard first split puts roughly £8,309 towards the venue and £6,458 towards food and drink, with about £1,508 for photography.
Those figures are provisional because guest count, weekday and season still affect the balance. Keep the £25,000 as the firm ceiling, especially when comparing venue packages and catering inclusions.

Probably 90 guests.
Around 90 guests is a useful working number for June 2027. With a £25,000 ceiling, the guest count makes the venue’s capacity, catering minimums and what’s included especially important, because small per-person differences can quickly affect the rest of the day.
A clear next step is to decide the area you’re considering, so venue options can be matched realistically to your numbers.

We're getting married in Bath.
Bath gives you a strong local starting point for 90 guests. Limpley Stoke Hotel looks like the best practical fit, with space for 120 and 61 rooms on site; Priston Mill is the better value-led alternative, but has no accommodation.
With your £25,000 all-in budget, check each venue’s catering minimum, drinks package and evening-extension costs before falling for the headline hire price.

Show us some venues then.
For 90 guests in Bath and a £25,000 all-in budget, these are the strongest directions to explore:
- Limpley Stoke Hotel: closest practical fit, with capacity for 120 and 61 rooms on site.
- Priston Mill: very close to Bath, with listed hire prices of £975–£3,900 and capacity for 150, leaving more room for catering and photography.
- The Barns at Wick Farm: a countryside barn option near Bath, with listed hire prices of £2,200–£4,900 and capacity for 132.
- Parish’s House: a Regency house with gardens, 9 miles away, but only two rooms on site.
Priston Mill is my budget-led pick. Its lower listed hire range gives you the best chance of protecting the rest of the day’s budget, though you’ll need to check catering, drinks and staffing separately.

What should we ask on a venue visit?
Take this shortlist to every venue visit, especially with 90 guests and a £25,000 all-in budget:
- What is included in the hire fee, and what costs extra? Ask for a full sample invoice, including tables, chairs, linens, staffing, cleaning and VAT.
- What are the minimum guest numbers or catering spend, and is the food and drink package compulsory?
- Can you bring your own caterer, bar, band, photographer and florist? Check corkage, supplier-list and entertainment fees.
- What dates are available in June 2027, and what is the latest finish time?
- What are the sound restrictions, and can the band or DJ use the dance floor indoors?
- How early can suppliers access the venue for setup, and who handles the room changeover?
- What is the wet-weather plan for the ceremony, drinks reception and photographs?
- How many guests fit comfortably for the ceremony and meal, not just the venue’s maximum?
- What parking, accessible facilities and nearby accommodation are available?
- Who will be your day-of contact, and are they actually present on the wedding day?
- What is the payment schedule, cancellation policy and postponement policy?
For your budget, the most important document is the complete costed package, not the headline venue hire price. Take photos and notes, then score each venue on value, guest flow, restrictions and how much budget remains for catering and photography.

"content": "# Venue Selection (Coach Reference)\n\nThe venue is the single biggest decision and biggest expense, and nearly\neverything else flows from it — capacity, catering, date, style, logistics. Help\ncouples choose it methodically rather than falling for the first pretty photo.\nThis is usually the **first thing** to lock in after budget.\n\n## Step 1 — Align on the brief before browsing\n\nGet the couple aligned on these first; it prevents one partner falling for a\nvenue that's wrong for the other and saves hours of looking at the wrong places.\n\n**Style & location:** What area (balance where they live, where families are,\nwhere most guests travel from)? What type appeals — manor house, barn, castle,\nboutique hotel, country pub, warehouse, garden, rooftop? What's their personal\nstyle — contemporary, classic, rustic, glam, minimalist?\n\n**Practical:** Venue-only budget (not the whole wedding)? Day guest count *and*\nevening count? Ceremony on-site or at a church/registry office? Is outdoor space\nessential or nice-to-have? Exclusive use or happy to share? On-site accommodation\nneeded? Own caterers or venue-provided?\n\nIf the couple is unsure of any of these, that's a coaching opportunity — work\nthrough it with them; don't send them off to browse with a fuzzy brief.\n\n## Step 2 — Where to find venues\n\nWedding directories/apps (filter by area, capacity, style, budget); the local\ncouncil's list of approved premises for civil ceremonies; National Trust /\nEnglish Heritage properties (stunning but often more restrictions); personal\nrecommendations; location hashtags on social media for real weddings.\n\nUK couples typically view ~13.9 venues digitally before visiting ~3.5 in person,\nand 79% book within 4 weeks of first contact — so the shortlist-then-visit\nfunnel is where your help matters most.\n\n## Step 3 — Read the small print (restrictions that change everything)\n\nA venue can look perfect and still be wrong because of its contract. Prompt the\ncouple to check all of these *before signing*:\n\n- **Sound/music:** Is there a sound meter and decibel limit? Handheld (a person\n can be reasonable) or wall-mounted (can cut power to the band automatically)?\n Band-size limits? Any \"no dancing indoors\" rule (some country houses / NT\n properties — would force a marquee)?\n- **Guest numbers:** Minimum spend/guest number (you can end up paying for empty\n seats)? Maximum capacity that works for *both* day and evening?\n- **Suppliers:** Must you use their preferred/in-house suppliers (often\n commission-driven)? Can you bring your own caterer? Restrictions on\n entertainment?\n- **Timing:** Finish time (11pm / midnight / 1am)? Supplier access/set-up times?\n If not exclusive use, what else is happening before/during/after?\n- **Other:** Confetti rules; corkage charge; cancellation policy and payment\n schedule.\n\n## Step 4 — The site visit checklist\n\nOnce shortlisted, in-person visits are essential. Evaluate systematically instead\nof being swept away:\n\n- **Exterior:** arrival/first impression; parking (how many cars, overflow,\n surfaced or muddy field); grounds for photos & drinks; wet-weather backup.\n- **Interior:** flooring (affects decor, dance floor, sound); wall condition;\n furniture provided. **Round table sizes:** 5ft seats 8, 5ft 6in seats 8–10, 6ft\n seats 10–12. Note focal points (staircases, fireplaces, windows) — assets to\n work *with*, not cover up.\n- **Ceremony room (if licensed for civil ceremonies — not all pretty venues are):**\n which room, capacity, where guests wait, where the couple enters, space and\n power for musicians, lighting, heating/aircon.\n- **Drinks reception:** indoor/outdoor flow; permanent bar vs tray service; what\n drinks; room for a welcome/cocktail station.\n- **Wedding breakfast room:** distance from drinks; if it's the same room as the\n ceremony, what's the turnaround time and who resets it; where the table plan\n goes. Allow 20–30 min to move 120 guests from drinks to seats.\n- **Accommodation:** guest room access times; can guests be checked in on their\n behalf; a secure room for certificate, cards and gifts overnight.\n\nPractical extras: visit at the time of day the wedding will happen; check the\nloos (quantity and quality matter for 100+ guests); meet the actual day-of\ncoordinator; book a second visit with a trusted friend before signing.\n\n## Step 5 — Compare objectively\n\nAfter several visits, venues blur. Use a 0–10 score per criterion: location/\naccessibility, capacity (day & evening), ceremony space, outdoor space, catering\nflexibility, supplier freedom, finish time, accommodation, value for money, gut\nfeeling. Total /100. A venue that ticks every practical box but leaves them cold\nisn't right — and neither is the one they love that can't fit the guest list.\n\n## Sixteen questions to ask at every viewing\n\n1. What's included in the hire fee? 2. What's *not* included (and what does it\ncost)? 3. Available dates in our month? 4. Min/max capacity? 5. Sound/music/\nentertainment restrictions? 6. Supplier set-up access times? 7. Latest finish\ntime? 8. Exclusive use included or extra? 9. Own caterers/suppliers allowed?\n10. Corkage charge? 11. Wet-weather backup? 12. Parking? 13. How many bedrooms\nand at what cost? 14. Cancellation/postponement policy? 15. Who's our contact and\nare they on-site on the day? 16. Can we revisit at our wedding's time of day?\n\n## Cost context by venue type (2026 UK)\n\nMost expensive → least: **Castles** (often £30k+) > Stately Homes > Country\nHouses > Barns ≈ Outdoor ≈ average > City Venues > Event Venues > Hotels >\nRestaurants/Pubs (lowest). Wedding-led venues (castles, stately homes, country\nhouses, barns) cost more due to maintenance, grounds and exclusive-use pricing;\nmulti-use venues (hotels, restaurants) offset costs through other revenue.\n\n**Most popular types:** Hotels (22%) and Barns (22%), then Country Houses (14%),\nPubs/Restaurants (8%). 71% of ceremonies are held at the venue.\n\n**Catering models:** in-house 76% overall (hotels 95%, restaurants/pubs 87%);\nexternal-required-list highest at barns (23%) and outdoor (25%). **Pricing:** 59%\nof venues charge venue hire + price-per-head (barns 79%), 41% price-per-head only\n(hotels 65%).

What do photographers usually cost?
For your £25,000 budget and around 90 guests, the current working allocation for photography is about £1,508. That’s provisional because your weekday and season are still standing in, but it gives you a sensible ceiling to use when comparing packages.
At roughly nine months out, photography is a good supplier to prioritise after the venue. Check whether each package includes a second photographer, full-day coverage, an engagement shoot, travel and your edited images.

My partner wants a live band — is it worth the money?
It can be worth it if a packed dance floor and live atmosphere matter to you. For your £25,000 budget, the current music allocation is £687, while average UK reception-music spend is about £1,061, so a live band would likely need money moved from another category. Bridebook’s 2026 UK Wedding Report is based on 7,000 UK couples.
The sensible compromise is a short live set followed by a DJ: you get the energy of a band without paying for live music all night. Compare like-for-like quotes, including playing time, DJ provision, travel, equipment, breaks and overtime.

The core coaching insight: **book in scarcity order.** The\nsuppliers that book out furthest ahead, and that other decisions depend on, come\nfirst. Get the sequence right and nothing good gets missed because it was left\ntoo late.\n\n## The booking order (and why)\n\nVenue is always first (see `venue.md`) — it sets capacity, catering, date and\nstyle. After the venue is confirmed, work down roughly in this order. The logic:\nthe best individual suppliers in popular categories (especially photographers)\nget booked 12+ months ahead, and some decisions depend on others (you can't\nfinalise stationery before the design and details are set; catering may be tied\nto the venue).\n\n1. **Photographer** — books furthest ahead; the most \"named-talent\" category\n where the best are gone first. Prioritise right after the venue. → then\n **videographer** (decide first whether you want video at all).\n2. **Caterer** — if not venue-provided. Often tied to the venue's rules.\n3. **Florist** and **cake maker**.\n4. **Reception music** (live band or DJ) and **ceremony music**.\n5. **Hair, makeup & beauty** (trials needed before the day).\n6. **Wedding fashion** runs in parallel and has its own long lead time — dress\n orders + fittings can take many months, so start browsing early even though\n it's not \"scarcity-booked\" like a photographer.\n7. **Stationery** — save-the-dates early; invitations once details firm up.\n8. **Transport**, **specialists** (celebrant, toastmaster, entertainers),\n **décor/hire** — later, once the style is set.\n\n> When a couple asks \"what should I book next?\", anchor to this order *and* their\n> timeline stage (`planning-timeline.md`). Don't let them jump to a cake maker\n> before the venue is confirmed.\n\n## Average supplier spend (2026 UK)\n\nUse these to answer \"is this a fair price?\" and to frame trade-offs. They're\naverages — actual prices vary by region, date and scope.\n\n| Supplier | Average spend |\n|---|---|\n| Venue hire (excl. catering) | £6,040 |\n| Catering — reception | £5,406 |\n| Catering — evening | £2,002 |\n| Marquee / tipi | £4,633 |\n| Dress | £1,532 |\n| Planner | £1,543 |\n| Videographer | £1,514 |\n| Photographer | £1,484 |\n| Decoration | £1,404 |\n| Florist | £1,187 |\n| Reception music | £1,061 |\n| Rings / jewellery | £1,057 |\n| Menswear | £859 |\n| Ceremony music | £845 |\n| Other entertainment | £844 |\n| Transport | £593 |\n| Toastmaster | £514 |\n| Celebrant | £504 |\n| Accessories | £449 |\n| Hair styling | £417 |\n| Make-up | £394 |\n| Stationery | £378 |\n| Cake | £360 |\n\n**Photographer by duration:** <half day £519 (£200–£800); half day £911\n(£350–£1,690); full day £2,024 (£600–£2,500); more than full day £1,780. 68% of\ncouples book a full day. (Note the £1,484 *average* spend above blends all\ndurations — quote the duration-specific figure when relevant.)\n\n**Cake by source:** professional designer £395 (44% of couples use one); venue/\ncaterer £313; non-traditional dessert £269; family/friend £181; high-street £109.\n\n## Helping couples compare and decide\n\nCouples trust AI most for **finding/comparing suppliers and writing enquiry\ndrafts** — lean into that. When comparing shortlisted suppliers:\n\n1. **Match to vision first, price second.** A photographer's *style* (light/airy\n vs dark/moody, documentary vs posed) matters more than a small price gap. Tie\n the recommendation to the look the couple described.\n2. **Compare like for like.** Same coverage hours, same deliverables (album,\n prints, digital files, highlight reel), travel included or not.\n3. **Check the practicalities** the price hides: deposit and balance schedule,\n travel/accommodation charges for remote venues, supplier meals, overtime rates.\n4. **Read reviews** — UK couples read ~6.9 reviews per supplier; reputation is a\n real signal.\n5. **Make a recommendation** with reasoning, then leave the choice with them.\n\n## Enquiries\n\nCouples often feel frustrated by slow, generic supplier responses early on. If\nhelping draft an enquiry, make it specific — date, venue, guest count, exact\ncoverage/deliverables wanted, and a direct ask for an itemised quote — so the\nfirst reply is actually useful and comparable.\n\n## Saving without cutting what matters\n\nMost categories have a \"How to save money on [X]\" article in the knowledge base\n(find via `article-index.md`). General levers: book a half-day photographer if a\nfull day isn't needed; DJ instead of (or alongside a short set of) live band;\nin-season flowers; cake as dessert; serve the cake from the venue/caterer rather\nthan a separate designer if budget is tight. Always protect the categories the\ncouple has said matter most — find the savings elsewhere.\n\n## Sources\n\n`references/knowledge-base/articles/reports/report-2026-wedding-costs-breakdown.md`,\n`references/knowledge-base/articles/tools/tool-wedding-planning-checklist-guide.md`, and category-specific\nprofessional guides (photography, flowers, entertainment, cake, catering,\nstationery, transport) via `article-index.md`.\n",

You’re planning a June 2027 wedding in Bath for around 90 guests, with a firm £25,000 all-in budget.
So far, you’ve:
- Explored Bath venues and photographers
- Discussed what to ask at venue visits
- Started weighing up a live band, which matters to you, against the wider budget
- Set a provisional photography allocation of about £1,508 and music allocation of about £687
Nothing is booked or shortlisted yet, and no guests have been added individually. Your next focus is Begin Exploring Venues! The venue fixes your date, capacity, catering options and much of the style, and popular venues can be booked a year or more ahead.

What should we tackle this month?
This month, focus on Begin Exploring Venues! Browse Bath venues, use the filters, and save your favourites. The venue is the decision everything else hangs off, fixing your date, capacity, catering options and much of your style, while good venues can be booked a year or more ahead.
