Frequently Asked Questions

Most couples begin planning 12–18 months before their wedding date. Starting early gives you more venue and vendor options and helps spread out expenses.

The venue is typically the first booking, followed by photography, videography, catering, entertainment, and decor.

Most weddings are planned over 12 months, but many couples successfully plan weddings in 6–9 months with a structured timeline.
