You’ve picked a venue and you and your partner have worked out what's important to you and what kind of wedding you want, BUT you still may be dealing with conflicting opinions from different sides of the family (we're Jewish... right?!)
You've nailed your mission statement, guest numbers and budget and you've chosen your dream venue... YAS!
Now you need to confirm the date with your rabbi, book the venue, start researching and confirming key vendors (i.e. vendors that are most important to you / those that get booked up quickly)

You’ve secured your venue and that generally means you now have your wedding date too which is so exciting! Now everything starts to get real…

Here’s what you need to focus on once you’ve found a venue (I’ve done all the thinking so that you don’t need to!) but as always, if you have any questions, ask me inside the Facebook group and I’ll get them answered!
