-November through March are popular months for marriage proposals, and next comes wedding planning. If there is any secret to planning a great wedding, it’s getting some of the things on the wedding planning “to do” list done early. The team from the San Luis Obispo wedding rental company, All About Events, has some early planning tips to make things a little easier. Early planning includes:
- Getting ready
- Getting set
- Go! Enjoy the best wedding ever.
Getting ready
- Save the date reservations with the wedding planner, the venue, caterer, band or DJ, the officiant, and wedding rentals as soon as possible. Wedding professionals and venues are often reserved up to a year in advance. The earlier the reservations are made, the better the chance of getting the favorite location and other professional services.
- Talk to the baker to learn how far in advance a reservation is needed for the wedding cake to be ready and delivered.
- Is the wedding or reception outdoors? Decide what kind of tents and other equipment are needed.
- Make a list of furnishings, catering and dining supplies, and accessories that help make the day. The San Luis Obispo wedding rental company’s website has a comprehensive list and descriptions of everything needed.
- Have an idea of how many guests are being invited. The guest list can come later, but an approximate total number determines the number of tables, chairs, table settings, beverage glasses, and other accessories that will be needed.
- The approximate number of guests also tells the caterer how much food needs to be prepared.
- Are the rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner buffet or sit-down? Knowing beforehand helps the caterer plan for staff and other resources early enough to avoid last-minute staff issues.
Getting set
Early reservations serve two important purposes:
- Make sure the needed venue and services are available.
- Help the bride and wedding professionals plan far enough ahead of time to schedule their time and resources efficiently.
- Helps reduce stress as the wedding day gets closer.

Here are some tips to help decide what needs to be rented for the wedding:
- Make a list of the pre-wedding and wedding-day activities.
- Include what the venue supplies for each event, such as: Is a kitchen available for the caterer’s use? Does the venue provide tables and chairs for the reception? Is there a stage for the band or DJ?
- Does the venue or caterer supply table settings, glassware, and table linens?
- What events of the day are outside and what kinds of furnishings and accessories are needed?
- What other kinds of extras are going to make the day perfect? A dance floor? A stage? A bar? Tents and what styles?
