In all fairness due consideration must be given to both your interests and tastes so that the wedding day is memorable. Sitting down together and brainstorming ideas is always rewarding at the end of the day.

In a lot of ways a perfectly chosen venue gives you an idea of the amount of money that must be set aside. Without prior knowledge of overhead costs it becomes quite simple to end up not having enough money. With that said it is equally important to save up for the entire wedding itself.
