  1. Choose 1 Wedding Planner
  2. First of all, there should only be one wedding planner to handle the entire day, avoiding common mistakes such as different timelines and schedules. On this matter, always set up a final walk-through of the agenda 48 hours prior with all main players to go over the details. This way, you'll be making sure everyone is on the same page.


  3. Be Clear with your DJ
  4. Another important matter is the DJ and his understanding of the music you want to hear. He should have a list of your favorite songs to play during the reception. Be clear with him and the evening will be perfect.


  5. Lean on Family & Friends
  6. You have to delegate some tasks to family and friends, as they are happy to help. This is your day and you shouldn't have to worry about the centerpieces on the tables or the florist being late. You should be able to focus on enjoying the day and celebrating with the people you love.


  7. Have a Next Day Brunch
  8. If you have guests coming from out of town, be sure to set up a brunch the next day for everyone to say goodbye. It's a polite way to show your appreciation and thank them for coming.
