Episode 3: Timeline & Choosing Your Wedding Date

You don’t pick the date, the date picks you! 

Most couples pick a date and then find out which vendors are available. We do it the other way around — and this episode tells you why. 

In this episode we walk you through why we create a wedding ‘date matrix’ to help our clients find the perfect wedding date. Then we get into your timeline and checklist of what to do weekly and monthly, whether you’re planning for 14 weeks or 14 months. 

We’ll talk about the common threads about planning pace: the intensity at the front end while you're locking down vendors, the smooth middle where you can enjoy planning the details, and how to use the 2-8 weeks prior to your wedding to your best advantage to make the week of your wedding feel easy and relaxed.

We cover the things that take far longer and far less than expected – they will surprise you – and play one of our favorite games, Love or Hate the Wedding Date. Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, Sunday afternoons – love or hate the date? We have answers!
