Venues...that decision

Have my heart set on a hotel to be honest, think we missed out on that for our wedding. Having all our friends and family staying over would have been nice! Obviously living in Bordon means that the hotels are limited and I mean almost non existent. Headley Park hotel is about it and its rough and not where I'd want to take my friends and family for a lush party.

Love the look of the Ramada Jarvis in Farnham as its quite a good location.


Obviously wanting a winter wonderland theme is quite simple and they actually do themed weddings which would make it nice if we could use that as an example. My budget is £2500 but could stretch to £3000 if things went over but thats everything included. I have big plans for my launch/30th birthday. I want to show everyone that I'm serious about event planning as a career and if I can pull it off then I'm half way there. I would like someone to partner with me, maybe I might meet someone at university who would be interested.

Think as far as starting up goes, I need about £5k if not a little more for the basics and obviously doing my own parties for my portfolio will help build my website and images etc. I just need to get friendly with a photography would could take some shots for me. I could try myself with a good camera and a tripod but it probably won't look that professional unless I edit the pictures using a package like photoshop or something. They need to look sharp and professional not like I'd taken them quickly. I suppose that will come...
