Planning Checklist
Wedding Planning can be difficult, and the lead up to the special day will be hectic. Take the time to do some careful wedding planning using our checklist. There are things to do from six months to a year out and progressively more leading up to the day.
Your Wedding planning Checklist should include Venue finding, booking the caterer, music, floral arrangements, decorations are just some of the task to be addressed. On the day, the run of the event is of paramount importance and a dedicated contact on the day should be organised and introduced to the caterer/manager.

Dear David, I am writing this to extend my sincere appreciation for the excellent service and food you supplied at my home last month. We had a brilliant night. I realize that an enormous amount of hard work went into this dinner and I am grateful to you for the part that you and your staff played in making the occasion such a huge success. The room and table settings looked fantastic and received many comments, along with the food and service. Thanks again for cleaning up, definitely the way to have a dinner at home. Will be doing that again when next in town. Thanks again buddy, well done!
