No, although it might have been helpful - I don't mean because of navigating the UK, but just because of wedding-planning in general, which can be a huge pain in the ars*. But we wanted to use all our available money for the wedding itself, so there was never a question of using a consultant.

No, I just organised things myself. Our wedding was very intimate and low key, so there was never any need for one. The B & B offered a package wedding deal so they organised the flowers, cake, champagne, tables, honeymoon suite, etc., so all we really had to do was put together the music we wanted (just burned a cd from my iTunes) and buy our clothes and accessories. I love the way we went about everything and would do it exactly the same way if we had it to do over again. A huge wedding with all the frills never really appealed to me. I would rather spend the money on other things. The day should be special no matter how much you spend.
