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.
