HI, so I just got engaged during the Christmas break, and we are planning on an October wedding, we have the church and a hall (well we find out for sure this weekend) and many other things but I'm kinda worried that maybe I have been rushing it too soon from horror stories about people not being able to book djs, photos etc.  Should I change the date, we really wanted to get married in 2010 and October is such a good month for us as well.  Just need to know or have some assurance.  Thanks

i think its doable, and since youve already got the church and a hall i would start researching djs/bands, photographers, florists, bakeries, caterers (if needed) in your area NOW so that if your first choice is booked full for your day already then you can find someone else

its just going to be a matter of gathering your ideas and making decisions rather than pondering over ideas for weeks or months, kwim? 

(and congrats by the way!!)

Congratulations!

I def think it is doable for an Ocotber wedding! I just barely booked all of my vendors last month. However, I got a package that included the dj, flowers,caterers, and bartender. Maybe you can try to find a package deal?? It will save a ton of stress and time

I have a friend who does flowers, and we will probally buy fresh, and I already have my cake designed and paid for, the hall includes food and drinks, I also have my invites picked out (doing myself) I have my dress, flower girls dress, bought and paid for, as well I have my maids dresses picked we just have to go to the store.  Thanks for your help guys I feel a little better, I find out forsure on the weekend if we have the hall and I know they apparently do flowers there too, which I may look into, before I see a florists.  I can't believe now that i'm reading my posts how much I do have done, and I have only been engaged a month!

yeah it sounds like you have a lot of the 'big' stuff done already, i think you should be fine for an october wedding  :-)

Thanks, that makes me feel better :)  It's just happening soo fast, and going so well with everything, I was getting a little nervous I guess

Wow you have alot done!  Thats great!

You have plenty of time!

you are fine for time. we got engaged right before christmas and are getting married on 10.10.10!!! you are doing great!! =] we have booked our site, got our attire, and chosen and paid partially for our cakes... you will be fine!!!!!!!

We got engaged on xmas eve and we are getting married Oct 24th. We have everything done basically, venue, rentals, food, my dress. It is definitely doable. I wouldn't be able to wait longer than a year honestly. The anticipation would kill me :) Plus, I have heard the longer you have to plan the more expensive it becomes!
