How to Create a Timeline Checklist For a Wisconsin Ceremony
There are so many tasks, to do items, and details to plan as you put together one of the biggest days of your life, how do I create a timeline checklist for a Wisconsin Ceremony? We’ve put together a checklist to help you stay focused in planning the details of your wedding ceremony. Setting up a planning outline/timeline for the ceremony music will allow you to pick the best professionals at the best price, and without rushing to get things done at the last minute.
I’ve laid things out below, but if you click on the link below, it will guide you to much more interactive checklist that you can actually use to record your progress. The timeline assumes that you are planning your celebration over the course of 9-12 months, so if it’s sooner, please adjust accordingly.
9 months to 1 year:
Book Ceremony Location
Decide whether to have live or prerecorded music
Decide on the style and type of music you prefer (Do you want Jazz, Modern, or Classical?)
Start making your list of possibilities for musicians
Six to 9 months:
If you are selecting live musicians, make your final selections of musicians
Review and sign contracts
Start reviewing musical pieces to be played
3 to 4 months prior:
If the music is prerecorded, talk with your DJ to make sure they have the music on CD
Find any instrumental versions of songs needed
Make decisions on special dances, recessional, processional, and the Unity Candle
Write out the program for your DJ and guests to follow
4-6 weeks Prior:
Meet with booked musicians to go over the song selections chosen
Give them sheet music, or a CD to the musicians, or soloists to practice
1-2 weeks Prior:
Make final phone calls for confirmation of the details
Put tips/gratuities and cards in envelopes and give to the personal attendants or Best Man/MOH
Make any final payments per terms of the agreement on your contracts
