6 Weeks to Wedding Checklist

Mon Mar 4 2019 08:37:00 GMT+1100

Now is the time for the final push, before you can start relaxing into your big day build up. With this last-minute flurry of activity, it will mean you have all bases covered and can rest easy come your wedding day!

Seating Plan

By this stage you will have a firm idea of your final numbers. If you are still awaiting RSVP’s (naughty naughty!) ask one of your trusted friends to do a ring around to follow-up those outstanding invitees, so you have exact numbers.

It’s not too late to add another 10m section to your marquee to accommodate more guests, or add in a lounge or bar area or even a bigger dancefloor. But it’s time to make a decision - get in touch with Event Marquees if you need some experienced advice.

Photography Test Shoot

6 weeks out is a great time to do a site visit with your photographer. Most photographers encourage this so they are familiar with the location, what photos you want, and what they recommend. Your photographer can also help with the ideal times of day for the best photos - this will assist with completing your run sheet. It’s also a great time to have some practice having your photo taken!

Finalise your Run Sheet

Making a run sheet will really help with the coordination of all your suppliers, and reduce stress for you. Keep it simple - but make sure you include contact numbers for each supplier -so they can be easily contacted should they need. Email your run sheet to all your suppliers.

While a run sheet is a great idea, it’s good to remember that it provides a general idea for the day, and you will have a better time if you go with the flow when things don’t go exactly to plan.

Document and Distribute your Wet Weather Plan

I know, I know - it wouldn’t dare rain…. But to reduce your stress for the day make sure you have a clear plan B, just in case. We recommend adding your wet weather plan to your run sheet document so that all your suppliers have it should they need it. And if it does rain - don’t panic, some of the best photos come from atmospheric weather!

Decide on your Nice-to-haves

You most probably have a list of things that you would really like to have for your wedding, if there is still money left in the budget - such as extra flowers, a sweets bar or dedicated lounge area. Now is the time to revisit these, tot up the budget and make some decisions - as suddenly wanting extras on the day before will be extremely stressful.

Event Marquees has been creating exquisite wedding days for over 20 years. We have had the privilege to take part in a large number of weddings spanning right across the east coast of Australia. Over the years, we have set up many wedding marquees and event equipment at some spectacular locations in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Canberra, Blue Mountains, Bowral, Hunter Valley and more! We are excited to have received new bookings for upcoming events in Melbourne and its surrounds. We will be better equipped to service this beautiful area with the addition of our new Melbourne branch opening soon!
