Booking a photographer for your wedding is an important decision because after the wedding is over, it’s their photos that you’ll have to remember the day by. 

Catering is one of your big ticket items in terms of wedding planning and should be booked about 3 months in advance, though earlier is always better. When booking a caterer most brides tend to forget about involving them into the logistics of the day which is a very important thing to do. Another thing that’s often forgotten is table space and how that works with your decor. If you’re planning on having a family style dinner, the food is gonna take up a lot of space!

It may seem like a shocker but if you’re looking to book a cake designer who’s fairly popular, you should look into booking them 8 months in advance. All cake designers will have a speciality so you should find one that specializes in the style of cake that you want. Most cake designers should also be able to work within any dietary restrictions.
