XSiGHT’s guide to planning your perfect day!
XSiGHT knows that there is so much to consider when planning your special day, photography, video, bridal gown, invitations, guest lists but the hardest part is choosing where to host the main event and knowing where to start right?
To ensure you don’t get disappointed the first things XSiGHT suggest you book before anything else when planning your wedding are:
1. Reception Venue
3. Ceremony Location
A lot of venues these days tend to offer the flexibility of having your ceremony & reception under the same roof. Couples love this because it’s so convenient for their guests.
XSiGHT works closely with some of Melbourne’s prominent reception venues and in order to help you plan for your big day we have a few suggestions below to help guide you in the right direction.
