One of the first orders of business when you start planning your wedding should be booking your venue.  Once you have your venue booked, a whole lot can fall into place.  Booking a venue can also be one of the most difficult aspects of planning your wedding, since so much that you end up determining will be based on your venue (alcohol you serve, hours of your wedding, decor aesthetic, how many people you invite…the list goes on).  With so much of your wedding depending on the venue, here are a few key questions you should make sure to ask before booking!

Ceremony rehearsals are one of the aspects of planning which can really impact the day of the wedding and help it run much smoother.  

Everyone’s heard about wedding horror stories that turn into a funny story later… like… way later.  I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to be a victim of a wedding gone wrong!  A Wedding Emergency Kit is a great start to making sure your day goes off without a hitch (hiring a planner to handle the mishaps without you even knowing about them is always the best option)!  

Wedding transportation is one of those logistical details that simultaneously ranks very high on the list of “important wedding logistics that take time” and very low on the list of “fun wedding logistics that take time”.  While it is by no means a requirement to provide transportation for guests, there are certain weddings where it would be a nice bonus to your guests’ comfort level and would make their lives a whole lot easier.

Having a walk through is one of the most important things you will do before your wedding.  A walk through is where you figure out the logistical details of wedding flow and where each element will be placed.  While I dislike using the word necessary, I will say that you really, really, really should have a walk through.
