I think you have to look at the whole fiance visa application as a package. Some areas will be strong; some areas relatively weaker.

The purpose of the visa is for your fiance to enter the country in order for you to get married so it seems logical that the application (covering letter at least) will make mention of your plans. Most couples would like to make the arrangements together so exact details may not be finalised until they are in the country. And as mentioned before it is difficult to get provisional bookings from registrars.

Daisy got her visa with no provisional booking or reception arrangements being made. Our plans, as far as they were thought out, were outlined in the covering letter.

It was only after submitting the application that I contacted the registrar and did in fact manage to get a provisional booking. Had Daisy been called for an interview that booking would have been available to support our written statements.
