People to book

As soon as you have set the date, get started on booking these key people:

Vicar/Priest/Rabbi/Celebrant
If you want someone specific to conduct your wedding ceremony, you need to book him or her early.

Photographer
Find a wedding photographer you like, who is not going to be too bossy or take too long.

Florist
Talk early to a florist, to find out which flowers will be in season for your wedding and to discuss your requirements.

Musicians/Singer(s)/DJ
Particularly if you want live musicians and/or singers, you need to book early.

Magician
It makes all the difference to have a wedding magician to perform strolling, close-up magic and/or cabaret magic at your wedding reception.

Toastmaster
A toastmaster relieves you and your team of a lot of the pressure on the day by taking charge of the wedding breakfast rituals.

Wedding car driver
Book someone to bring a luxurious limousine or classic car to take the bride and her father (or whoever is travelling with her) to the church or ceremony venue.

Hairdresser
As the bride, you will want to make sure you can visit your favourite hairdresser on the morning of your wedding, so book in early to make sure he/she is available. It is also a good idea to go in advance of the big day as well, to try out styles.

Make-up artist
Book in someone to come to you on the morning of the wedding and make you look and feel your glamorous best.
