Fiestasol Wedding Planning Timeline



Wedding customers are usually new to the prospect of having to prepare a wedding. It is difficult to know where to begin, what to do, who to talk to etc. Is there a timeline involved in planning a wedding?This is how we manage it at FiestaSol:

·       To start with, there is the initial email contact with our clients. We email our famous wedding presentation with an overview on how we work, plus the venues we propose, the catering we organise, decoration details and pricing.

·  eWe can then set up a free morning of site visits when the clients are able to visit Spain.

·       When the venue has been chosen, FiestaSol books it and sends the venue contract.

·       We then email our clients a list of supplier options that match their tastes and budget. This includes websites, pricing and packages.

·       We encourage clients to come back for at least one visit and we set up a whole day at our wedding showroom – meeting with suppliers, putting all design elements into place, sampling wedding cake and having a full wine and menu tasting. All suppliers are then booked and confirmed.

·       3 – 6 months before the wedding, we send a detailed wedding update with full information on suppliers that have been booked and deposits paid.

·       One month before the wedding, FiestaSol sends out a full checklist of all the final details that are needed to be answered. Clients often think that they have forgotten small details, and as we have so much experience, we know that everything is covered once all these questions are answered.

·       FiestaSol then sends the clients a full itinerary for the day plus a list of all supplier payments that are pending.

·       2 days before the wedding, FiestaSol calls all suppliers and double checks that everything is in place and their movements on the day.

·       One day before the wedding FiestaSol will attend the wedding rehearsal and run through any last minute questions with the bride and groom.

·       On the wedding day – the FS catering team generally arrives 3 hours before the ceremony to set up and the planners will be there on site until the end of the event.
