Dreamcraft Films – The Five People You Need for Your Wedding

When it comes to wedding planning, it can be tough to know where to start. There are hundreds of items to check off your to-do list, including finding a reception hall, hiring vendors, and narrowing down a guest list. Even if you have a wedding planner, couples need to give crucial input and insight into the preparations to have a memorable and meaningful ceremony and reception.

While your wedding day will be one of the most significant events you will host in your lives, most people have never had any party planning experience. Getting the ball rolling can be overwhelming, to say the least.

One way to start your planning on the right foot is to form your core team—a group of five people who will play critical roles in your wedding event—save for the soon-to-be-married couple, of course. Once you have the following people on board, you will find that the rest of the details will fall into place and make decisions much more manageable. Your core team should consist of:

  • Your officiant

The officiant will preside over the ceremony. Depending on your preferences, you might have a religious minister or a civil servant solemnise your marriage union. You must have a registered marriage celebrant for your marriage to be considered legal and binding. For most couples, the availability of the officiant will determine the date of the wedding ceremony.

  • Your event planner

Your planner will likely be the busiest person on your team. Many people recruit their best friends to help them plan the day, but it is highly recommended that you hire a professional instead. Planning a wedding is a full-time job that demands attention to detail and excellent organisation skills. Look for someone trustworthy and has a history of successful events under their belt. You can ask for a referral from a friend or family member who was more than satisfied with a planner’s service.

  • The caterer

One of the main highlights of the day for your guests, aside from witnessing your declarations of love, is the food that you will serve at the reception. The caterer is often the person that most couples disagree on, due to different tastes and preferences. Caterers are used to playing referees for brides and grooms, and many of them are skilful at creating delicious compromises.

  • Your venue stylist

Most reception venues are bare halls that need to be dressed up to match the occasion. The venue stylist should be able to take your vision for the day and make it into a reality through decorations, floral arrangements, and other party paraphernalia. You’ll want someone on your wedding team who can create a beautiful, festive atmosphere that reflects your style as a couple.

  • Your wedding videographer

Your wedding only comes around once, but you will want to remember it forever. You can immortalise your special day and look back on it as many times as you like with wedding videography and photography. Camera phones just won’t do the day justice. There are also going to be too many things happening at the same time that you can’t rely on a family member’s casual snaps to get those precious moments on film. Hire a professional wedding videographer so that you can relive the day over and over again, from the time you dress up until the last guest leaves.

A final tip

Regardless of whether you are having an intimate wedding or a grand one, to have a successful event, you will want dependable and responsible partners who are experts in their craft. You might already have some people in mind for the positions above, but remember that you probably aren’t the only couple getting married.

Many of the best suppliers, service providers, and event officiants are often booked up to a year in advance. Be sure to give yourselves ample time–at least nine months to a year–to plan your wedding. When you have enough lead time, you increase your chances of hiring the best people to make your wedding dreams come true.
