How should you budget for a wedding in Sussex?

With the average wedding in Sussex costing just under £17 000, budgeting is an extremely important part of the wedding process if you want to ensure you go into married life together without tonnes of debt. Budgeting for a wedding can be tough so make sure that you and your partner sit down and have a frank conversation about how you are going to finance the wedding. Bear in mind that the biggest costs involved in the day are likely to be your venue and catering costs, so if you are looking to keep costs down, start by trimming your guestlist and finding a wedding venue well within budget.

Is it possible to get married in a restaurant in Sussex?
