Wedding checklist and timeline

Tool · checklist and timeline

Keep the plan moving without turning it into a second job.

Mark the decisions that apply to your celebration, then use the list as a calm starting point. Your checks are not stored or sent.

Planning essentials

Write down the feeling, guest range and three non-negotiables for the celebration. Set a comfortable budget limit before comparing venue packages or supplier upgrades. Create a first guest-count range and identify the people who must be included. Ask venues for written inclusions, tax/service charges, availability and cancellation terms. Reserve a practical contingency before early upgrades use it up. Put every quote, payment date and decision in one comparison record. Check accessibility, transport and accommodation assumptions with the guest range in mind. Build a day-of contact and timeline plan once the core suppliers are confirmed. Leave room to review the plan together before making the next commitment.

Shape a budget

This is a generic planning framework. Confirm legal, venue and supplier requirements for your location from current primary sources.
