The Ultimate Wedding Vendor Booking Timeline - SAVE THIS FOR LATER

Here’s a step-by-step guide on when to book each one, so you can secure your dream team without the stress!

Venue (1 Year or More): Start with the venue. Popular locations book up quickly, sometimes even years in advance. 

Wedding Planner (1 Year or More): Hiring a planner early is key if you want help navigating the rest of the planning process.

Dress (1 Year):
Wedding dresses often need months for fittings and alterations. 

Officiant (11 Months):
Securing an officiant nearly a year in advance ensures they’ll be available for your date, especially if you have someone specific in mind, like a family friend or religious figure who is in high demand.

Entertainment (DJ, Band, etc.) (9-8 Months):
Musicians and DJs often fill their calendars quickly, especially during peak wedding seasons. 

Photographer/Videographer (8 Months):
The best in the business often have busy schedules, so plan to book around eight months ahead to secure your favorite.

Catering (if not included with the venue) (6 Months):
This will give you time to sample menus, consider dietary needs, and make adjustments

Florist (7-6 Months):
Booking a florist six to seven months out lets you coordinate seasonal blooms and make sure they’re available.

Cake (5 Months):
This gives time to the baker to work with your preferences and ensure everything is perfect.

Hair & Makeup (4 Months):
Booking four months ahead ensures you get professionals who can provide trials and tailor their services to suit you.

Transportation (3 Months):
Finally, arrange transportation about three months before your wedding. By this time, you’ll have a better idea of your schedule and can plan for the best routes, ensuring everyone arrives on time.
