  It's essential to establish a realistic budget that covers every aspect of your special day.

With turnkey wedding packages available at all our locations, we've got a lot of details covered, allowing you to focus on enjoying your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
  
• Choose Your Venue
  Selecting the perfect venue sets the stage for your unforgettable day. It's essential to choose a location that not only reflects your unique style but also comfortably accommodates your guest count.
  Consider both indoor and outdoor options, keeping the time of year in mind. Take the opportunity to visit potential venues in person to ensure they align with your vision and expectations. After all, you want to be confident that the reality matches the picturesque images you've envisioned.
  
• Create Your Dream Team
  Assembling your dream team of vendors is crucial to bringing your wedding vision to life. Research and book key partners such as photographers, florists, and entertainment specialists who align with your style and preferences.
  Moreover, as part of our turnkey offerings, we collaborate with trusted partners to enhance every aspect of your wedding. From design and print needs to décor, our add-on services are available to complement your vision and elevate your celebration to new heights.
  Consider hiring a wedding planner if your budget permits. Their expertise can be invaluable in orchestrating every detail leading up to your special day, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.
  
• Choose Your Theme
  Selecting your wedding theme sets the tone for your entire celebration, reflecting your unique style and personality.
  While each of our locations provides complimentary centerpieces and some linens as part of their décor offerings, you are also welcome to incorporate your own linens and centerpieces to further customize the space to your liking.
  
• Arrange Your Guest List and Invitations
  Determining the number of guests you plan to invite is essential for the initial stages of your planning, serving two critical purposes: establishing the size of the venue required and providing a framework for your budget. Consider organizing separate lists for different categories of guests, such as family, friends, and colleagues, to ensure no one is overlooked.
  Once your guest list is finalized, it's time to design and send out save-the-dates, informing your guests about your upcoming wedding date and location. Make certain to include vital details such as dietary restrictions and any other pertinent information to accommodate your guests' needs.
  
• Plan Your Ceremony and Reception
  Planning your ceremony and reception requires thoughtful consideration to ensure a seamless and memorable experience for you and your guests. Start by crafting a detailed timeline that outlines the order of events, including any special rituals or traditions you wish to incorporate. This timeline not only serves as a guide for your entertainers and venue coordinator but also ensures that everything runs smoothly and on schedule on the big day.
  
• Focus on Food and Drinks
  When it comes to dining, savoring every moment of your wedding celebrations with culinary expertise tailored to your preferences is essential. At our venues, we offer a multitude of menus and options to cater to any food style, ensuring that there's something for everyone to enjoy.
  Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your menu will accommodate everyone, including allergies and intolerances, allowing you to focus on savoring every moment of your celebration.
  
• Capture Every Moment
  Capturing every moment of your special day is essential, not just for you, but for your photographer and videographer as well. By creating a comprehensive shot list of must-have photos and moments you want to capture, you'll ensure that every aspect of your wedding is documented exactly as you envision it.
  This will guide your photography team in capturing the essence of your love story, from the heartfelt vows to the candid moments shared with loved ones.
  
• Finalize Details and Confirmations
  Finalizing details and confirming arrangements are crucial steps in ensuring your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Take the time to double-check all vendor contracts and arrangements leading up to the big day, ensuring that every aspect is in place and ready to go.
  Additionally, create a detailed day-of timeline outlining the schedule of events and distribute it to your wedding party and vendors. This will help everyone stay organized and on the same page, ensuring that everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
  
• Relax and Enjoy
  As the big day approaches, remember to take some time for yourself to unwind and indulge in some pampering. Whether it's a spa day or a quiet moment of reflection, allow yourself the luxury of relaxation amidst the excitement. On your wedding day, surround yourself with the love and support of your nearest and dearest, and cherish every precious moment as you embark on this unforgettable journey together.
  

By following this wedding checklist, you'll be well-prepared to plan the wedding of your dreams, complete with all the essentials and must-haves that will make your day truly unforgettable.
