Help with dates!

Welcome and congratulations! It sounds like you both really want a New Year's Eve wedding so I say go for it. I'm not sure about costs as not looked into this myself but if you're having it at home I imagine it should be doable, but yes the weather needs some consideration. I'm sure some brides with more experience in this area will come along to give advice.

I think a new year eve wedding sounds amazing!!

I would LOVE to go to a NYE wedding. If you are having it at home I don't see why it would be massively more expensive - the main thing to look out for is availability of suppliers I would have thought. But if you have plenty of time to plan it shouldn't be an issue. Jan 1st is a terrible day for a wedding. ? Go for new year!

I've been to a NYE wedding and it was amazing. We all had plenty of notice and it was great. I can't comment on the cost of things but if you want it go for it. Plus you could start your anniversary married.

I would also love to go to a NYE wedding. I'm not really a fan of new year so to have a wedding to go to would be brilliant!

Suppliers wise - I would think booking early is going to be the main thing. You may not have the full choice of suppliers but I think you should be fine. Photographer and florists are two I would be looking at very early on - now, really, if you're thinking NYE 2014.

You may want to consider artificial flowers instead of fresh - many people do this and they look fantastic these days. That would probably save you a fair amount of hassle as you can sort those whenever.

I have been to a wedding on the 30th which was fine. I don't think I'd fancy the 1st.

Also get the DJ/band booked asap!

I'm positive they will have done.

One extra point which you may well have thought of - a marquee wedding at home is by no means a budget option. You would undoubtedly be able to get a hotel cheaper - of course that may not be what you want but just thought I'd mention it! I think an at home marquee wedding is about £5k-£7k not including any food or drink.

Congratulations!

As already advised, marquee's arent by any means, the cheap option & it might be worthwhile looking at other venue options. I am getting married on 28th December & saved over £1000 on the venue because of the date as it tends to be very quiet between Christmas & New Year. We plumped for that date as we thought alot of people tend to be off work & at a loose end during this festive period.

I would love to go to a NYE wedding. I always NYE a bit of a let down so a wedding would be awesome!

I imagine it would potentially work out cheaper than an August wedding too.

Thank you for all your help guys. We are thinking of 2015 NYE. We will probably go to a few wedding fayres and ask around the suppliers and see whats what. Thank you again for your replies
