12-Months Wedding Planning Timeline

Are you feeling overwhelmed by where to start with your wedding plans?

Not sure when to book your venue or pick up your wedding rings?

At Zion Springs, we’ve hosted weddings since 2010 and are dedicated to helping couples plan with confidence.

In this article, you'll find a comprehensive wedding checklist—from engagement to honeymoon—covering all the essential details to make sure you’re fully prepared for your big day.

Start by Finding the Right Venue

Are you dreaming of a mountaintop ceremony, a historic mansion, or perhaps an elegant hotel ballroom? Your venue is one of the first and most important decisions you’ll make, as it sets the tone for your wedding. It should reflect your style as a couple and align with your vision for the day.

If you want to save yourself from the stress of planning, consider an all-inclusive venue. But be cautious—some venues may say they’re all-inclusive but still leave you to coordinate with approved vendors like caterers, florists, photographers, and DJs.

Hire a Wedding Planner

Bringing a wedding planner on board can take much of the pressure off your shoulders. Their connections with trusted vendors and experience in managing the details can streamline your planning process. They’ll not only save you time but also offer valuable advice and recommendations along the way.
