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 In today's blog post, I’m throwing away the outdated “12 months prior, 8 months prior, etc.”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:

  • Wedding attire [8:20]

  • 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]
