Planning a wedding? Congratulations. You've just become an event manager.

And nobody thought to warn you.

One minute you're celebrating your engagement. The next you're comparing venue packages, chasing RSVPs, negotiating with suppliers, managing family expectations and wondering how the budget got quite so complicated.

Created using more than 25 years of professional project delivery experience, this practical wedding planning system combines an editable 16-tab Excel workbook with a 22-page PDF wedding planning guide.

From your first venue enquiry to the final thank-you card, you'll have one place to organise the details, track decisions and see what needs your attention.
