Let us guide you with our stress free planning tips.

Start Early

As soon as you’ve booked your venue, kick off the planning! Your celebrants, photographer, videographers, and bands/djs are the secret sauce to a memorable day, so get them on board early. Suppliers book up fast so make sure you get in early to secure your favourites!

Guest list

We completely understand that all the planning can be overwhelming, especially when you have a a large guest list. However, it’s important to remember that this day is all about you and your partner. It’s a day to celebrate your love and commitment to each other. We highly recommend keeping your guest list focused on those who truly matter, you’ll not only create a more intimate and personal atmosphere, but you’ll also be able to allocate your budget more efficiently.

Let’s talk Budgets…

When considering your budget options, remember what is important to you. At Pratis we offer plenty of helpful suggestions to ensure you and your guests have the best wedding experience. Our collection of props and decor in our wonder room allows you to decorate the entire venue without spending a penny on decor. Canva is your best friend for personalising your own stationery and Scottish market place (facebook group) is fabulous for buying second hand decor and accessories.

Suppliers

You’re going to spend a considerable amount of time with your suppliers, both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day. Especially with the venue staff, if they are as involved as we are! So, make sure you choose people you genuinely enjoy spending time with. We collaborate with some absolutely amazing suppliers and only recommend the top professionals in the industry!
