Before you plan the wedding, decide what matters to both of you.

You do not need a venue, color palette or 200-item checklist today. A few honest decisions now will make almost every later choice easier.

Your first planning conversation

Answer four questions together. This is not a contract, just a starting point.

Who needs to be there?
Guest count drives venue, food, cost and atmosphere more than almost any other choice.
What can you spend without damaging the life you are starting?
A wedding budget should serve your marriage, not compete with it.
What kind of ceremony matters to you?
Religious, civil, cultural, private, large, local or destination choices affect the planning path.
What are your top priorities?
Each person names two things that matter most and one area they are happy to simplify.
Who gets a voice?
Family help can be wonderful. Decide together how financial contributions, traditions and opinions will influence decisions.
