WEDDING SMART START

Don’t know where to start finding a venue?
Feeling overwhelmed before you begin?

Many couples struggle to get their plan off the ground.

That’s why we designed the Wedding Smart Start.

It’s a helpful, open, honest conversation designed to cut through the wedding industry mire. We’ll talk through your ideas, set a workable budget, and align your vision with realistic solutions.

Find the clarity you need for your wedding planning.

The first choices make all the difference

Your choice of date and venue set the tone for your wedding.

Careful consideration and professional know-how can reveal the potential hidden costs and roadblocks that otherwise might only surface after you've already committed yourselves.

Wedding Smart Start stops the "budget creep" before it begins. We’ll look at the real numbers early on, uncovering the "wedding tax" that often gets missed.

Together we’ll make sure your first steps are the right ones, so you aren't left trying to fix an overstretched budget further down the line.

    …Emma then sat down with us and helped us organise everything we needed to consider (some things we hadn't even thought of) to plan our wedding. Emma knows the wedding industry inside out and recommended so many businesses, venues and wedding suppliers to us. She was so lovely and listened to everything we wanted and helped us keep to our budget.
