Ideally, we begin working with a couple 8-16 months before the wedding which allows enough time to develop a plan that everyone is excited about and move through the tasks in a relaxed, enjoyable, and productive way. That said, we have planned weddings in as little as 3 weeks and have begun working with couples as much as 18 months in advance. Anything earlier than that is not recommended as styles, ideas, and situations change with time and although we love planning weddings, we don’t love planning the same wedding twice for the same price. :0)
