FINDING a wedding venue can be hard for happy couples - so one savvy pair decided to build their own from scratch in just four months.

Katherine and Mario decided to put their wedding budget towards making a luxe barn situated in stunning countryside.

And the best part of the project was that they will now use it as a source of income, renting it out to other engaged couples.

The savvy couple showed off their barn transformation on their TikTok page, where it has racked up more than a million views.

Katherine and Mario already owned the land, so started on constructing a beautiful, modern-looking barn surrounded by flowers. 

They wrote: “We thought it was a better idea to make a business investment and rent our venue out after our wedding rather than renting out a venue for the day.”

After adding foundations and a wooden frame, the barn started to take shape, and the end result looked gorgeous for a wedding.

The couple tied the knot at their Villa Vanto in August this year, and plan to start hosting weddings there in 2022.

Many people were highly impressed with their luxe barn, especially as Katherine and Mario's wedding day should eventually pay for itself.

One said: “You just created an income.”

Another added: “Lol imagine saying I don’t like any other venues, I’ll build one instead.”

Meanwhile, a 'bride’ was praised for her stunning lace wedding dress… until people realised she isn’t the one getting married.

And Britain’s unluckiest bride and groom share wedding disasters – from missing rings to broken ribs.
