Newly engaged?! 
Dreaming of your wedding after getting engaged?
Here’s your guide to planning the celebration of a lifetime:
-
- Share your big news, celebrate with loved ones, and let the engagement glow set in. Take the time to enjoy this moment, before getting involved in the planning details!
-
- Discuss your priorities and decide on a realistic budget. Knowing your financial boundaries helps shape your plans and options.
-
- Selecting a wedding venue lays the foundation for the entire event. The venue creates the atmosphere for your wedding. Choose a place that aligns with your style, brings your vision to life, while also providing comfort, accessibility and a memorable experience for your guests. The venue is often a significant investment, to be sure, but don’t let price be the only deciding factor. Compare the value of packages versus item-by-item venue pricing. And most of all, make sure it’s a place you’ll love and cherish in your memories forever.
-
- Big bash or intimate soirée? Your guest count will guide venue options and logistics, so get this sorted early.
-
- Hire a wedding planner with experience. They’ll handle the logistics of realizing the wedding of your dreams — so you don’t have to.
-
- Lastly, Save the date early! Give your guests plenty of time to plan. Send save-the-dates 8–12 months out so everyone can arrange their schedule and travel plans. Pin this guide, share it with your partner, and let the planning adventure begin! The Refinery would love to give you and your partner a personal tour, at your earliest convenience.
