Venue and catering:

Choose a venue that suits your style and can accommodate your guest list. Once the venue is secured, select a catering company that can meet your culinary preferences and dietary requirements.


Wedding attire:

The bride and groom's outfits are a significant part of the wedding. Start shopping for attire well in advance to allow time for alterations.


Guest list and invitations:

Determine your guest list and send out invitations with enough lead time for guests to RSVP.


Music and entertainment:

Music and entertainment are essential for keeping the party going. Hire a DJ or band that suits your musical preferences and can keep the guests entertained.
