Date and Season
Choose a date considering seasonality and special timing, such as sunset for outdoor ceremonies.
Venue
Assess venue capacity, rental fees, included services, parking, accessibility, restroom availability (at least 4 restrooms per 100 guests), on-site accommodations or nearby hotels, noise restrictions, and facilities for cocktail hour or entertainment.
Guest List
Finalize the guest list to match venue capacity and budget. It is acceptable to exclude guests who are not wanted at the wedding.

Pick a theme or vibe that reflects your personalities and desired atmosphere.
