Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience, and one of the biggest challenges can be finding the perfect venue. With many popular venues booking up years in advance, couples can often feel pressured to decide quickly and settle for a venue that doesn't quite meet their dreams.

Introducing James’ Places - the perfect solution for anyone looking for a dream wedding venue without the long wait. With a collection of five stunning venues, ranging from a charming country pub to a grand estate, James’ Places offers a directory of unique and unforgettable wedding venues that are available with short lead times.

Sarah Baines, group marketing manager for James’ Places said: “Booking a venue with a short lead time of six to eight months, rather than the traditional year or more allows couples to maintain the excitement of wedding planning. Planning your own wedding can be a massive task that becomes a chore because you’re dragging it out over such a long period and losing momentum.”

Choosing a venue with a short lead time can be a massive money saver; the average saving for a short lead package when compared to traditional brochure pricing across James Places’ five wedding venues is over 50%. By avoiding the need to book well in advance, couples can take advantage of last-minute deals and offers, and avoid peak season pricing.

Another of the advantages of choosing a venue with a short lead time is the flexibility it offers. Couples can choose a date that suits them, rather than having to work around the availability of a popular venue.

This means that you can plan your wedding around your life, rather than the other way around. And with James’ Places, you can be sure that your wedding will be a one-of-a-kind celebration that reflects your unique style and personality.

Sarah said: “You can tick all the boxes to ensure you get the suppliers you want and then find a venue, rather than the more traditional route of venue first. It is doable – and gives you more budget to spend on the extras that often end up falling short, because the venue cost more than you anticipated.

“Late availability wedding packages tend to fall between Sunday and Thursday but there may be cancellation dates that open up Fridays and Saturdays so it’s always worth checking with a wedding coordinator. With a shorter planning time, you can stay excited about your wedding without the stress and pressure of a longer planning process.”
