HELPING YOU PLAN
The Really Useful Information you will find on this part of the NBWE website has been compiled in response to questions that have been asked over several years by a wide range of couples who were needing specific information during the planning of their wedding.

For example, when couples choose their wedding ceremony place and reception venues they are often influenced by the kind of photographs that can be taken at nearby locations, so we have listed images taken at many of the Favourite Photo Shoot Locations in the region.

When planning your wedding day you need to take account of when the sun rises and sets which varies widely across the seasons. Knowing these times will help you ensure that your ceremony, photo shoot and start of reception are at times that give you and your guests the most pleasant wedding day experience. These times are summarised in the document sunrise and sunset times.

These days, it is popular for couples to have their ceremony outdoors and many have difficulty in finding appropriate outdoor locations or dont know how to obtain approval to have a ceremony outdoors.  We have listed the Local Council Outdoor Ceremony Details to help you select an appropriate location and to arrange for approval.  Council booking fees, the most popular ceremony locations and the phone contacts to arrange approval, are listed in that document.

There are also many images on the Favourite Outdoor Ceremony Locations and Favourite Churches galleries to give you an idea of the kind of photos you might have when getting married at those places.

Key issues and timeframes to bear in mind when you set about to plan a wedding are set out as A Twelve Month Wedding Planner, and for those who are planning a civil ceremony there is infomation you may need to know on The Role of a Marriage Celebrant. Finally, for those who are really unsure of what to say or when to speak during the speeches phase of the reception, there is a Simple Guide to Wedding Speeches to hopefully make speech giving just that little bit easier for you.

We hope you find this material useful in planning your wedding. New material will be added regularly and if you can think of other information that could usefully appear here, please send an email using the "Contact" link on our home page. If you are already married and you wished you had certain information about certain things to help the planning process, please feel free to send your suggestions by email.
