Your East Midlands Wedding - Page number 41 - June/July 2021 (Issue 44)

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION We’re so excited to start looking for a wedding venue, what advice can you share with us to make the process easier? At Cleatham Hall, our advice for couples is to find a venue that you love and everything else will fall into place. Most nearlyweds will have decided what kind of wedding is ideal for them before making a shortlist of places to visit. Finding out the ethos of each venue will give a strong indication if it matches your requirements. Visit the location during different seasons and ask if there are indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies. According to future trend predictions from the wedding industry, many couples are looking for exclusive venues that are intimate and private, where the focus is on the wedding party’s requirements rather than set packages. After a difficult 18 months of uncertainty, a couple’s greatest desire is to see their dream become a reality. Venues that provide in-house catering and a complimentary menu tasting on the premises give each couple a feel and taste of the hospitality they shall expect at their wedding. After visiting a venue, each couple needs to feel like they can imagine their wedding there and know their celebration is in the safest of hands.

When it comes to booking suppliers, a hairstylist should be high up on your list of priorities as you won’t want the added stress of your hair not sitting right, curls dropping or any other worries in the morning. You want to feel chilled, relaxed and focus on the little things like if it’s too early for a prosecco – the answer is always no! The pictures of your wedding day will be on display for years to come and you’ll want to look your absolute best. Entrust this job to a professional as we can give you tips on what will suit you and the overall look, and have the tools and knowledge to execute it flawlessly. We have also been to hundreds of weddings and can use that experience to help things run smoothly, give you insider information on how the morning works and make sure you’re ready on time. It’s also great to have an extra pair of hands for when that zip needs doing up, shoes need tying or bouquet needs blotting before you get married!
