#WeddingWednesday - When to Book Your Vendors (Part 1)

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service
P: (631) 587-8500 

We know planning a wedding includes a lot of moving parts, so where and when does one begin? Take a deep breath, we’re here to help.

This Wedding Wednesday we’ll focus on some of the FIRST things you should secure before moving further down your wedding planning checklist. See below for vendors to book 9-12 months prior to your wedding:
 
Wedding Planner - If you plan to hire a wedding planner, make it one of your first to dos. A wedding planner will have the greatest amount of utility to you and can help you with the rest of your purchases.

Venue - Reception venues can book up to two years in advance of a popular date. This, along with your planner if you decide should be the first things you check off your checklist. Remember, without putting a deposit down on a venue, your wedding date is not yet set in stone - and you can’t hire the rest of your wedding-related services.

Caterer - Unless catering is included at your reception venue, you’ll want to get this taken care of once the reception site is booked! Caterers have a limited number of parties and events they can do on given dates so booking early locks in your spot.

Ceremony Officiant - A really good officiant can give you the ceremony of your dreams and since this is a specific person, you’ll want to get them booked early. We’ve all seen great, and not so great, ceremonies - make sure yours doesn’t fall into the latter.

Have some other vendors you feel should be included in the 9-12 month slot? Share with us on our Facebook page. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week - and keep an eye out for the Transportation section.
