i would start by checking out bands or DJ's. my FH and i booked the band right after the reception site. that was our top priority. you have a good amount of time, but people book this far in advance... so just do one thing at a time and HAVE FUN!!

btw. i am assuming that youve booked the officiants / ceremony site!

Book the Church (should be 1st if you're having one)

Photographer
Videographer
DJ/Band
Florist
Limo (if you're having your wedding near prom season)

most important.... make sure you have an officiant that you like & that is available on your day. Then get a band/Dj, Photographer/videographer & check with the hall to see what else you may need (ie...is the caake included....)
I would not worry too much as your wedding is almost 2 years away, but this list is a good place to start.

Oh, and check out LIW often for info

Welcome

Your gown should be up there too in case it takes a really long time to get it in and do alterations.

I would do all that, but would wait on the Limo. You NEVER know what can happen to a limo company in even a year. I'm going to hold off on that, got everything else done.

I LOVED my Dj....Mike from Castle Entertainment
Castle Entertainment, Inc.
1517 Lakeland Avenue
Bohemia, New York 11716
Phone: (631) 563 - 2600
Fax: (631) 981 - 8090

I woudl also wait on the limo...at least for a little bit.

You should also set your budget up.....it is a lot easier to do once you have the hall booked & know what your reception will cost (usually the biggest expense).

You may also want to start talking to florists...they too book early if they are good.

I'm not that far ahead of you..right after booking the hall, we booked our band and our officiant (in that order!)
Tomorrow we are meeting with our first possible photographer....and Friday I am starting to look for dresses!!

I would add that if you want to do save the dates, you should start gathering your addresses as soon as possible!

And still need to do, probably in this order:

Flowers

Limos
Tuxes
Invites
Favors

I would book the photographer and videographer, they get booked fast and they have limited staff so, its hard to find one you like that is available. I would then book the DJ and florists.
