77 I Wedding Timelines: Who Should You Book When?


Listen Later

Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

If you’re recently engaged and are at the start of your wedding planning journey, you may be wondering what timeline you should follow when booking your wedding vendors. You might be asking:

  • Should we book the wedding venue or the wedding planner first?
  • When should we book the photographer?
  • Should we book the band or DJ first or the caterer?

Well definitely in the right place! In today's blog post, I’m throwing away the outdated “12 months prior, 8 months prior, etc.” kind of dialog you see online and sharing more insight into the order you should hire your wedding vendors (and more importantly - why!).

To fast-forward to a specific part of the podcast episode, check out the timestamps below: 

  • Should you book your wedding venue or wedding planner first? [4:23]
  • Do you book the reception and ceremony venues at the same time? [6:14]
  • When to book your "main" vendors (catering, photo/video, and entertainment) [7:35]
  • Wedding attire [8:20]
  • Wedding Florist & Decor [9:20]
  • Wedding Stationer [10:02]
    • Save the Dates 
    • Invitations and Day-of Paper
  • Rentals [11:40]
  • Anything else you want to make your wedding extraordinary! [12:36]
