Step 2 
Decide on the amount of guests that will be attending each part of the day, will you have everyone come to the ceromony, then a few people to a sit down meal, or is it everyone all day. This is what is going to determine how you plan your venues, all venues have a limit on numbers. So get your numbers ready.

Step 3Agreeing a date is going to depend on the ceremony venue and the reception venue. These need to be co-ordinated together. so get a few dates in mind before approaching both venues so you can co-ordinate both at the same time. If you want a specific date, you may need to be planning 18mths in advance, or be adapatable with your venues.
