Your wedding day timeline doesn't need to be scheduled down to the minute—but it does need to be realistic.

After planning hundreds of weddings, I've noticed the same timeline mistakes come up again and again. Most of them aren't major disasters on their own, but together they create a day that feels rushed, stressful, and harder to enjoy.

In this episode, I'm sharing the seven biggest wedding day timeline mistakes I see couples make and how you can avoid them before your wedding day arrives.

We'll cover:

  • Why buffer time is one of the most important parts of your timeline
  • Activities that almost always take longer than couples expect
  • How to maximize your cocktail hour with smarter photo planning
  • Outside factors that can throw off your schedule
  • Why your wedding party needs more information than just a ceremony time
  • The importance of building in intentional time together
  • Who should actually be responsible for keeping the day on schedule


If you've started working on your wedding day timeline—or you'll be creating one soon—this episode will help you build a timeline that's realistic, flexible, and far less stressful.
