Check lists - do you have one????

Let's face it, once the excitement of saying YES has worn off, you go into panic mode!  After all, you really have no clue where to start with truly planning the day you have been dreaming of!  Making a simple list will help to keep you on track and quickly secure the vendors of your choosing. 

  • Start with your ceremony site!  Jot down a list of the place or places you have thought of getting married at. 
  • Your going to need a place for your reception!  This list is just as important as your ceremony list.  Think about the distance that will have to be traveled between ceremony and reception by not only you and your new spouse - but your guests as well.  Are there adequate accommodations for your out of town guests nearby.  Will the directions be easy to follow?  Will there be access to transportation for guests that decide they may need it after a fun filled evening celebrating your marriage?
  • What day would you most want to get married?  Pick a month!  Then another one!  If your favorite ceremony site is booked the entire month you picked as your first choice - hopefully they will have something available for your second or third pick!
From there you have all of the other vendors that will fall into place:
  • bridal shops
  • photographer
  • videographer
  • caterer
  • cake/dessert shop
  • florist
  • DJ
  • transportation
  • décor rental
  • AND OF COURSE - ME!  YOUR WEDDING COORDINATOR!  There with you - every step of the way!
