Description

We love a confident couple who says, “We’ll totally have time!” … until they realize photos, champagne, and nerves say otherwise.


In this episode of The Planner’s Passport, we’re diving into one of the biggest wedding day struggles — the timeline. We’re breaking down why you’re probably not giving yourself nearly enough time, how long things actually take, and why your vendors aren’t being dramatic when they say that dinner is going to take 90 minutes. 


We’ll talk about how to build a timeline that keeps the day moving (without rushing it), why buffer time is your new best friend, and the secret to avoiding the dreaded “we’re running late” announcement.


If you’re planning a wedding — or you just love hearing planners rant about timelines — this one’s for you.
