Congratulations! You’ve said “Yes!” and now the fun begins — planning your wedding.

Here’s a friendly guide to your wedding timeline, with links to some amazing vendors I recommend (including myself 😉).

Your first step? Lock in your venue. Popular spots fill up fast, so securing your dream location early is key.

Trust me, these final checks make the day run like clockwork.

🗓️ Final Week: Take a Breath

Relax, take a deep breath, and focus on the magic:

  • Check final payments

  • Confirm your schedule with your planner

And when the big day arrives, Booking Sean Boon Magician ensures your guests are entertained and your timeline flows effortlessly. Magic isn’t just tricks — it’s laughter, awe, and memories your friends and family will talk about for years.
