All This Wedding Planning Stuff. Up Next - Venue, Officiant, etc., etc.

Well, up to this point you've worked on your vision and gotten your numbers.  These next pieces are the tedious ones in planning your wedding.  Where will you have your vision?  If it will be at a beach or your home or at the court house, those are fairly easy because (with the exception of the court house) typically the reception will be held at the same place.  If you are having a court house wedding, then a venue for the reception will need to be booked.


Who then would you like to have officiate your wedding?  You will have to coordinate your schedule with theirs and also with any of the venues you are considering.  This is the reason I said in the beginning that when you are selecting dates, it is best to look at ranges rather than specifics.  Also, you might want to consider setting the date for the fall or winter months.  These are not as busy (but are becoming more popular) so it is more likely the exact date you desire is available.  The farther out you plan for your wedding the easier it will be to get agreement on the dates you would like.

If you are planning on having your wedding at a church or a castle or some other popular place, you will want to book these things as early as possible.  You never realize just how many people are getting married until you try to coordinate these people and places.

It seems that the next most booked person is the photographer.  I recommend contacting those people you are interested in to find out their available dates to be considered in all of your negotiations.  This is the same for a wedding planner if you have decided to use one.

Once you get all of these arrangements made, you get to get on with the more fun aspects of planning your wedding, so persevere.
