Thanks for explaining that we should confirm the playlist with the DJ or band for the reception at least one week in advance. My sister is interested in booking a live band for her classy wedding reception this summer. I'll share this info to help her develop a planning timeline for the reception with as little stress as possible!

Thanks for helping me understand that we should research wedding reception venues in 12 months or more than book the one we like between 10-12 months before the special day of our lives. I will keep that in mind now that my partner and I have been recently engaged a couple of weeks ago. We plan to get married after two years, so we still might have enough time to do our research.

Thanks for pointing out that we should determine our budget and research venues in twelve months or more when planning a wedding. My brother is finally planning to get married to his long-time girlfriend next year. I will tell him to look for a reliable company that can help them in the decoration and planning of their special day.
