How to save thousands on your wedding
Planning a wedding 12 – 18 months in advance is generally the norm. But for those who just can’t wait that long, there are serious benefits to planning a short lead time wedding. In current times, a quickie wedding is especially appealing with plenty of great dates available across the winter months. This is not only great for those who want to get hitched in a hurry, but a wedding booked a few months in advance can also save you thousands of dollars. A shotgun wedding is most definitely for the savvy couple looking to make the most out of their wedding budget.

Aside from booking a venue (like Ancora) that does most of the hard stuff for you, here’s our top 3 tips for planning a short lead time wedding:
Make sure you have a solid timeline:
Having a timeline and checklist to keep you on track is imperative given you have such a short amount of time to tick everything off. To save you some time, we’ve put together this handy little checklist for you.
Choose suppliers who have worked with the venue before:
Familiarity with a venue is super important for wedding suppliers, as it removes all the unwanted surprises, back and forth questions and ensures the supplier knows what works best in the space.
Ask your planner questions, they have the experience:
Don’t waste time wondering which menu is best suited to your wedding or the likely price of a consumption bill for an 80pax wedding, ask your planner! Make the most of their knowledge and experience.
Don’t hesitate, trust your gut:
With only 90 days to plan, there’s no time to waste! Don’t stew on things for too long, back yourself and lock it in if it feels right. The quicker you make decisions, the more time you will have to sit back and actually enjoy being engaged!
