My wedding isn't until August 16, 2002. So far, I only have a DJ. I was wondering what should I worry about next? Should it be booking a Photographer? When should I book the limos, the officiant for the ceremony, the flowers, etc., etc., etc.???? Aaaaaaaaah! Too much to do so far in advance! Any suggestions would be quite wonderful! Thanks!
I think the most important things to do first are ceremony site, reception site, music and photographer. After that you can take a well-deserved break before worrying about your dress, etc. etc. Don't worry - it will all come together!
Well, thanks for all the help. I do have my reception site booked. It's at the Port Jefferson Country Club. We will be getting married there also. Do I need to book the priest/officiant soon? I still have no idea about a photographer. I have about 4 names that were highly recommended from this site, but I haven't even seen their work yet. I live in NC and haven't been up to NY yet. We're hoping to get up there around Memorial Day.
Hi Melissa,
We're in the final stages of our planning (4-28-01 is the big day) and I've been planning from Boston.
Since you'll be limited in your opportunities to visit, I'd definately start making phone contact with whomever you'd like to meet with next time you're in town, so you can set up dates. A holiday weekend, and weekends in general during the summer, will be a hard time for many vendors to meet with you because they may already be doing a wedding - so plan ahead and try to arrange to be in NY during some weekdays too.
Good luck!
