Concerning this, the wedding planner could guide you and analyze your preferences. - Budget management
After a long discussion about your wedding in 2021, it’s time to move on to budget management. The question you will be asked is: what is your budget? This is necessary for the wedding planner to know what to do and what the best she can offer you.
After defining all the details about your wedding in 2021, it’s time to get down to business. This is the part that takes the most time and above all, it is the part where it takes a lot of time. This is why I invite you to start planning your wedding for 2021 now.
The choice of the wedding venue can really be the most difficult step in the whole preparation process, as it is the most important decision to be made and will set the tone for the whole day.
Many popular venues are quickly booked up, especially if you want a wedding venue for Saturday. If you’re looking for Sunday or even a day of the week, then you’re more likely to find availability.

Step 5: Event design & styling
Then it’s time to choose and reflect on the theme of the wedding ceremony. You can choose the theme that suits you and then your wedding planner will take care of the rest.
About creation:
- Your wedding planner sends you a survey to know your desires and your likes/dislikes.

But like at CTH events-Wedding in France we also propose to you something that would fit these criteria, and we visit them.

Step 6: On-Site coordination
It’s time to check in with the service providers at the wedding reception hall.
On-site coordination is dedicated to organizing everything at the wedding reception hall. It takes time after all the previous planning. Management of all vendors, the general set up and tear down.
- Supervision of bridal preparations
- Set up and dismantle styling touches and detail
- Management of the event schedule
- Wedding party & guest transport logistics
The number of planners and assistant planners required to ensure the onsite coordination depends on the scale of the wedding and also for any other event like corporate events planning in France, bachelor or anniversary party in Paris, the number of guests, the venue, logistical complexity, and the wedding schedule. Clients have the opportunity to sign off on the size of the team required once the needs have been assessed.
