We're Planning Our Own UK Wedding
Wedding Planning Tools We've Actually Needed
We're Matt and Angela, planning our own wedding in the UK. Wedding Planning Hub is where we're turning the things we've had to work out — budgets, timelines, suppliers, seating plans and all the little details — into practical resources that other couples can use too.
Our Wedding
This Website Started With Our Own Wedding
Wedding planning advice is everywhere. What we found harder was working out the practical details of our own day.
How much should we actually budget? Which jobs need doing first? How much time should we allow between the ceremony and reception? How do you build a seating plan when family circumstances aren't completely straightforward? What does the photographer actually need from us?
Rather than keep all of that work in spreadsheets, notes and half-finished documents, we're turning what we learn into useful planning resources for other UK couples.

Why We're Doing This
Real Planning, Not Just Wedding Inspiration
Wedding Planning Hub isn't run by a wedding venue, photographer or wedding-planning company. We're a couple organising our own wedding and documenting the practical side of the process.
Some of the information on this site comes from our own experience. Other information involves researching UK suppliers, prices, rules and planning options. Where information can change, we aim to make that clear so you can check the latest details yourself.
Our aim isn't to tell every couple how to have their wedding. It's to share the things we're learning, the tools we're creating and the decisions we're having to make along the way.
Want to See What We're Actually Doing?
We're documenting our wedding planning journey alongside the practical resources on this site — including the decisions, organisation and little details that don't always appear in traditional wedding guides.
