Wedding Planning FAQs: Your Top Questions Answered
Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll embark on, but we know it can also come with plenty of questions. To help you navigate the process smoothly, our team has compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our couples.
1. When Should We Start Planning Our Wedding?
We recommend starting your wedding planning 12-18 months in advance. This gives you ample time to secure your dream venue, hire top-notch vendors, and make thoughtful decisions without feeling rushed. However, if you’re working with a shorter timeline, don’t worry! With the right planning and our guidance, you can still create a stunning wedding in less time.
2. How Do We Choose the Right Venue?
Choosing the perfect venue is one of the most crucial decisions in your wedding planning journey. Start by considering your budget, guest count, and preferred wedding date. Next, think about the style and atmosphere you want—whether it’s a rustic barn, a chic urban loft, or a classic ballroom. Our team is here to help you tour venues and ask the right questions to find the perfect match.
3. What’s the Average Cost of a Wedding?
While studies show that the average U.S. wedding costs around $30,000, we’ve found that our couples typically spend between $50,000 and $70,000 on their weddings. This range allows for the customization and elevated experiences that many of our clients desire. Setting a budget early and prioritizing what matters most to you is key, and our team is here to help you make the most of your investment.
