After receiving your quotes, the next step is to view the venues themselves – we advise cutting your list by about half so you view around 6 venues.
Why only 6? Any more than 6 and you’ll face the problem of overwhelming yourself and they’ll start to all merge into one. Also you’ll have likely ruled out a couple straight away once you received your quotes.
Some of you will find it easy to cut down, but for the rest, we have some hints and tips on this to consider.
