Most wedding timelines look fine on paper. They fail in the same few places: getting-ready that runs long, a ceremony that starts late, cocktail hour that is actually a traffic jam, and no one named to make the next call.

The Timeline Gut-Check is a 30-minute Zoom and a one-page list of what to fix, in order of importance. You send your timeline, vendor list, and ceremony order at least 48 hours before we talk. I do not rebuild the schedule on this path.

Timeline Gut-Check — $150 USD

A focused read of the plan you already have. If the day still needs building, I will say so and point you to Essential. Book the Gut-Check.

What I look for

  • Collisions — two things booked in the same window that cannot both happen
  • Missing buffers — hair, travel, photos, and family photos that always take longer
  • Vendor arrivals that leave no time to set or no time to eat
  • A processional with no owner, and a reception with no cue sheet
  • Weather, light, and a late guest of honor with nowhere to go

When a review is enough — and when it is not

If the bones are good, a list of fixes is the honest product. You make the changes. You share the plan. You walk into the day with fewer surprises.

If the day has no real sequence yet, or the vendors are confirmed to a schedule that cannot work, a review will not save it. That is a Build. Essential, Month-Of, and Premium are the rebuild path.

Already filling in sheets yourself?

The Day-of Pack + Review is $250 USD. I send the Two Tulips planning sheets. You complete them first so the call is useful. I still do not create a new timeline on that path — I flag what is weak and tell you what to change.

What a working timeline actually includes

Not a Pinterest block of times. A working wedding day timeline names who is doing what, where they need to be, when vendors arrive, how long the ceremony really is, and what happens if the portrait window disappears. It is the document your point person holds. If nobody holds it, it is decoration.

If you do not have an on-site coordinator, someone still has to run this. That is usually a maid of honor, a parent, or a friend. I train that person on Premium. Read how to run a wedding without a coordinator.
