When it comes to wedding planning, couples often wonder:
How much time is enough to make sure everything goes off without a hitch?
While some couples may opt for a shorter engagement, others, like Paulina and Marcin, decided to plan their wedding over two years. This extended planning period not only allowed them to create a flawless celebration but also helped them manage their budget and secure the best vendors.
Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of planning your wedding over a longer period and how early bookings—especially for essential vendors like photography and videography—can save you budget!
Benefit 1: More Time to Budget and Save
One of the greatest advantages of a two-year wedding planning timeline is the extra time it gives you to save and budget for your big day. Weddings can be costly, and having more time allows you to spread out expenses, save up, and make sure you don’t have to compromise on important elements. Companies like us split our invoices into small instalments over this duration of time too - making it THAT much easier!
Benefit 2: Flexibility in Choosing Vendors
Wedding vendors—especially popular ones like photographers and videographers—can book up quickly, particularly during peak wedding seasons. By planning well in advance, you can lock in the best professionals and secure your first-choice vendors EARLY before their calendars fill up.
By booking a photographer and videographer 12 to 18 months before your wedding day, you can ensure that you could choose a studio whose style you love without the added pressure of availability. Planning in advance also means you have more time to do thorough research, meet with vendors, and ask all the right questions, ensuring you got the best possible service.
Benefit 3: Better Vendor Deals and Services
Booking wedding vendors like photography and videography early can often result in better deals, which ultimately saves you money. Booking a year in advance for example guarantees you that years prices, even if your wedding falls on a future date. Many wedding vendors LIKE US, offer discounts or special rates for couples who book them well in advance or for a combination of services.
When Paulina and Marcin booked us a year before their wedding, they were able to secure a package that included both engagement and wedding day photography/video, at the previous years cost!
Benefit 4: Stress-Free Planning and Fewer Last-Minute Decisions
Weddings require a lot of moving parts, and the more time you have to plan, the less likely you’ll be to feel rushed or overwhelmed. By planning over a longer period, you have the luxury of taking your time with important decisions, rather than feeling pressured to make last-minute choices.
Paulina and Marcin were able to carefully research wedding venues in Mississauga and Brampton, selecting the perfect locations for their ceremony and reception without feeling rushed. By giving themselves more time, they could visit multiple venues, compare packages, and choose one that fit both their vision and their budget. Additionally, the extended planning timeline allowed them to coordinate important details, like designing wedding invitations, confirming guest lists, and arranging transportation, without the stress of a tight deadline.
A longer engagement allows for a more relaxed, personalized, and stress-free wedding experience.
Just remember to not get Stuck in engagement limbo!
With careful planning and plenty of time to make decisions, your dream wedding in Mississauga (or wherever you choose to celebrate) can come together beautifully, just like Paulina and Marcin’s unforgettable Polish wedding.
