As the end of the year approaches, we know some couples begin to wonder whether planning a wedding for 2026 is still realistic, especially if you’re only just getting started. The good news? It absolutely is. With the right guidance and a venue that supports you every step of the way, planning a beautiful 2026 wedding at Layer Marney Tower can be simple, enjoyable and wonderfully personal.
Short-Notice Wedding Planning Can Be a Positive
While some couples choose to plan years ahead, life doesn’t always follow a perfect timeline. Whether you’ve recently decided that 2026 is your wedding year, or life has simply been too busy until now, you can still have an unforgettable celebration that feels relaxed, meaningful and completely yours.
Planning within a shorter timeframe often leads to more instinctive decisions, helping you focus on what truly matters to you both as a couple. And with our support, you won’t be navigating it alone.
You’ll Never Wonder What Comes Next
With guidance from me (Karen, your Wedding Manager), you’ll always know exactly where you are in the planning process. From your very first viewing through to the final moments of your special day, we provide clear timelines, friendly check-ins and as much reassurance as you need. Our aim is simple: to make sure planning feels calm, organised and enjoyable.
We’re always happy to chat through ideas, explore options and help you shape your wedding in a way that reflects your personalities and priorities.
Expert Wedding Catering, Made Easy
Catering is often one of the biggest decisions, but with the brilliant team at Bouquet Garni, it becomes one of the most enjoyable. As our exclusive caterer, they offer a wide choice of menus, from elegant multi-course banquets to relaxed dining such as sharing platters, barbecues or pizzas served fresh from the oven in their charming Citroen H Van. Their experience makes choosing the perfect meal effortless.
