So you're engaged... When is the best time to book your Wedding Planner?
Congratulations, you’re engaged! Welcome to one of the most exciting times of your life!
This is also a time where you will be asked a lot of questions, about everything, from everyone. ‘When is the wedding?’, ‘Where are you getting married?’, ‘Have you booked your florist/photographer/cake yet?’.
Before answering any of these, you may be asking yourself ‘when is the best time to book a wedding planner?’ While the simple answer is often ‘as soon as possible’, we have broken down the timeline for you to make things a little clearer and hopefully a little less stressful.
Every little bit of wedding related stress reduction helps, right?!
I want full planning and styling – Contact us 18 months prior to your wedding date
Wedding planning differs greatly to wedding styling. With wedding planning, we are with you every single step of the way from not only a creative sense but with every detail arranged and managed by us too.
With our wedding planning service, we can assist with the organisation of vendors such as your venue, photographer and make up artist.
We suggest getting in touch with The Stylist’s Guide once you have booked your wedding date so we can help you navigate your supplier selections based on the vision we have established in your initial meeting.
Haven’t locked in your venue and date as yet? That’s okay, we can help you with that too!
As experts in the events industry, we can guide you towards the most suitable choices for key suppliers and vendors based on your aesthetic.
Through the planning process we will liaise with these suppliers on your behalf, we’ll also do your logistically planning for you and your wedding day coordination and management.

I want full styling – Contact us 12 months prior to your wedding date
Your venue is secured and your key suppliers are locked in, but now you need that pair of creative eyes to bring everything together for you and ensure the concept you have in your mind is the one that appears before you on your wedding day.
Contacting us approximately 12 months prior to your wedding date allows us to flesh out all ideas and work through each vendor responsibility in conjunction with you to deliver your dream day.
We will visit your venue with you as well as have multiple supplier meetings along the way to ensure everything is on track. For the big day we will be on site and because we have been with you on your styling journey every step of the way, you can be confident knowing every single thing will be in place as it should be!
I need some on-the-day coordination – 3-6 months prior to your wedding date
The planning and styling are under control but you don’t want to spend your wedding day putting out place cards and folding your linen napkins – you also don’t want to rope your family and friends into doing it either.
Enlisting The Stylist’s Guide for On the Day Coordination (OTDC) removes this task and this stress.
On the Day Coordination is becoming increasingly popular as couples recognise the time that it takes to put every element in place and put it in place perfectly!
Reaching out to us 3-6 months prior to your wedding day means we can meet and go through every fine detail you have poured your heart into. We can do a site visit to understand your set up and you can enjoy every moment leading up to your ‘I do’s’ stress free.
Booking in OTDC 3-6 months out also means we can secure your date for this service.
Wedding season is a busy one and we’d hate to not be able to help!
