Date, Weather, and Venue

First, set a suitable wedding date. Check the weather forecast, especially if you want an outdoor or indoor wedding. Choose a venue that aligns with your theme and budget. Ensure the location comfortably accommodates your guest list and offers all necessary facilities.

Wedding Planner

A wedding planner acts as a liaison between the bride and groom and various wedding participants. They offer consultative advice and assist with budgeting to meet all the couple’s needs. Choose a dedicated wedding planner to ensure your event runs smoothly from start to finish.

Wedding Theme and Concept

Select a theme and concept that fits your budget, enabling you to plan and execute the wedding perfectly. This includes services like wedding planning, decoration, photography, venue selection, catering, and other essentials. Research and review portfolios before making your choice.

Budgeting

Setting a wedding budget is crucial. Determine how much you can allocate to each aspect, including the venue, decorations, food, attire, photography, and more. Manage your needs and wants wisely.

Guest List

Prioritize your guest list, starting with family, friends, and acquaintances. Match the guest count with your venue’s capacity. For special guests, choose a location that adheres to any necessary protocols.

Venue Selection: Halls, Canopies, Homestays, or Villas

Identify locations for the wedding ceremony, including separate events for the bride’s and groom’s families. Choose according to your budget and comfort, such as at home, a mosque, a hall, a canopy, a homestay, or a villa. If considering a villa or homestay with beautiful views, survey, book, and pay the deposit early, especially if your wedding is during a popular season like school holidays or year-end.

Catering: Food, Beverages, and Desserts

Consult with caterers or food vendors to select a menu that suits your tastes and preferences.

Photography and Videography

Choose quality wedding photographers and videographers to capture every special moment of your day. Review their portfolios and discuss your preferred photography style.

PA System and Master of Ceremonies

Select the right Master of Ceremonies (MC) to ensure the event follows the schedule and guests enjoy and understand the flow of the event from start to finish.
