Where is everyone with their planning?

mjmchugh86

Just wondering where everyone is with their wedding planning. I have only booked my reception venue, so all the posts about people booking photographers and ordering invitations are making me a little nervous. So..  what have you planned so far?

Ive only went to one venue which is the venue I want but i have called around to a photographer and a dj thankfully the venues package includes a cake person so its all a matter of time and money money money lol

I've only booked my venue which is for both my ceremony and reception. They will provide the food and such, so no need for a caterer.

Right now, I'm just looking, but I'm hoping to book the big things over the summer - photographer, DJ, and maybe flowers.

So far we have booked our...

Reception and ceremony venue
Caterer
DJ
Photographer


While booking our photographer (last week) she said we were lucky to get her for our day as she already had people calling about 2014 weddings. Things here book up really fast. We had to move our wedding date just so we could get the venue we wanted. We were originally going to get married in September 2013.

I've only booked my venue, but it comes with catering.  I am planning on talking to a local bakery within the next few months about if they can do cupcakes for us and maybe a florist (for those weirdly awesome rainbow roses, because I'm too nervous about ordering them online).  We aren't having a DJ and I need to talk to a friend about doing photography for us - very low key.  But my rambling aside, my FI and I were very happy with our venue and booked it a few months ago and they already had people coming in for 2014, and just started getting Saturdays booked in August when we booked our Sunday.

Oh! I also got my dress already.  First one I tried on.

So far I have booked

Ceremony/Reception Venue (it comes with catering)

Photographer

I'm almost postive on my

Cake venue

DJ

and I already have my dress...I know it's early but i found one I absolutly LOVED so I had to get it. It's not altered or anything yet, just sitting in my closet torturing me! I'm having a family friend do flower's so theres no need for that. I would say to book the reception venue, and photographer first! They book up like almost 2 years in advance sometimes. I don't know why you would order invites this early. I don't think it is necessary.

So far all I have gotten done is the church booked for rehearsal dinner and ceremony and I have bought my dress. I was told by my mother that I am not allowed to do any more planning till july, but not to her knowledge my FI and I have been looking at reception sites and trying to figure out a DJ. I am still in college so doing a little at a time plus a lot of DIY stuff!!

We have booked our ceremony and reception venue, which includes the food, beverage and cake (so no need for an outside caterer).  We have booked a wedding coordinator for just the day of the wedding, to make sure all of the vendors show up, etc.  We also have booked our photographer and we have the date reserved with a florist.  I am holding off on the DJ until September, mostly because I am torn between 2 DJs and a couple of people on my local board are using them this summer so I am waiting for their reviews, ha ha!
