Congratulations!

If you are thinking about using a reception centre I would book now. We booked 12 months prior to our wedding date and managed to get the last Saturday left in the month that I wanted to have it in. Also I would highly recommend a reception centre because they took care of everything from the food, drink, chapel, table centrepieces, music. I didn't have to worry about too much at all. They cost a bit more depending on when you book, but definitely worth it.

Good luck with all the planning! And once you find your dress, don't look anywhere else, EVER!
