You are on a high, you have a sparkling ring on your finger and your wedding to-do-list is building up faster than your nerves.
Looking at Pinterest or Instagram, you’ve probably added your life-time wage to the cost of your wedding, filled with every wonder and extravagance under the sun. It’s your big day and you deserve the best, but when reality hits, couples want value for their money and usually have a budget in mind.
If you’re considering Eskmills as a venue for your Wedding, check out the top tips below that we have put together which might help you stick to your budget:
