The list below is from our experience serving on many wedding days. We see what works and what doesn't. This is not a comprehensive list, and you may notice we don't provide everything because we focus on certain things. The tan items are services we provide.

What to Focus on?
At first, it's easy! The focus is on two people getting married and inviting the most important people to help celebrate. As planning continues, the focus can get a little fuzzy. Revisit the reason for the day often, and adjust your plans if something doesn't support it.
Things to note
Wind is the most common pesky thing in regards to decor.
Start dinner no later than 5:30 PM.
You could just have a sweetheart table.
Put "chat with guests" in your timeline.
Don't spend all day with your photographer.
Plan elements in the day that reflect the both of you and your interests/story.
What time is sunset?
Guests have a hard time putting their phone down. Suggest a phone fast.
The elderly may be concerned how to get around. Plan for it, and explain it to them.
Listen to your DJ/Band before booking.
Skip the gift opening or brunch the day after. You will be tired. Instead, host a welcome party a day or two before.
Your mom and dad are so proud of you!
