Most Important Wedding Planning Meetings

Throughout the wedding planning process, there are several must-attend meetings that you do not want to leave off the calendar. From dress fittings to tastings, some things are just better done in person. Whether you make a weekend of it or spread these tasks out over the course of a year, we give you the key appointments you can expect during your engagement.

There’s no better way to start envisioning your wedding than standing in your venue. Be sure to ask those Important Questions.
Dress Shopping
Gather your girls, bring your mom, or even go solo to find The One. Schedule appointments and make an afternoon out of it.
Tasting
Not only will you get to sample your wedding menu and customize options, but you will also discuss dinner service, signature cocktails, fun desserts, and even linens and place settings.
Dress Fittings
When you dress finally arrives, you’ll set up a series of fittings, usually 1-4 appointments, where a seamstress will nip and tuck your gown until it fits like a glove.
Hair & Makeup Trials
I cannot recommend these beauty trials enough. Your hair and makeup are important to test out before the big day to ensure you feel beautiful and like yourself.
Walk Thru
Your final walk thru is a key meeting in the entire planning process, when the core of your vendor team comes together at your venue to discuss details such as timeline, floor plan, logistics, weather plans, etc.
Rehearsal
Rehearsals are optional, but still extremely common. When nerves factor in on wedding day, it’s nice to have that little run through under your belt so you can be present as you say “I do.”
