Your wedding day is one of the biggest celebrations - and expenses - of your life, so choosing the perfect venue is of paramount importance. New research out by Hitched shows that the average cost of a wedding has increased to £20,700 amid cost of living crisis, and more than half of newly-married couples say they overspent on their wedding budget.
Almost three quarters of couples say they were gifted money from family to help pay for their wedding, and couples were also saving for additional financial goals while paying for weddings, with two thirds saving for honeymoons, and more than a quarter also saving for a house.
