DECIDE ON A THEME

Set the date as early as possible, so you can get on with the all-important task of finding the perfect venue. Take a look at the guest list, having an idea on the number of guests you’d like to invite will help you determine the size of venue and also your event budget. Event Planners can plan an event to suit any budget, it’s just better to have this up-front, so we can get on with the finer details.
