ABSTRACT
The seven phases of wedding timelines are: (1) research; (2) design;
(3) coordination; (4) legal issues; (5) confi rmation and details; (6)
implementation; and (7) wrap-up and evaluation. As illustrated in
Table 8.1, you will often fi nd that some of the phases overlap. As a
consultant, you may offer your clients guidance throughout the whole
process, or you can be brought in to assist during a single phase. Use
the items in each of these phases as a checklist and reminder of what
needs to be done next. As each task is accomplished, indicate the
associated date. Over time, you will notice consistencies in the region
where you live that will help you streamline the planning process and
adjust the order of the task list to fi t your target market. This list will
also act as a guide when considering the questions you need to ask
your clients.
