The short answer: plan a London wedding by working backwards from the date — secure the venue and planner 12–18 months out, lock in key suppliers 9–12 months out, finalise design and guest details in the final months, and leave the week-of logistics to your coordinator so you can enjoy it.
A good checklist removes the stress by making the sequence obvious. Here's the shape of a typical London wedding timeline.
12–18 months out
Set the budget, choose a planner, secure the venue and date. For peak dates and multi-day celebrations, the earlier the better.
9–12 months out
Book the key suppliers — catering, photography, décor and entertainment — and settle the overall design direction.
3–6 months out
Confirm guest numbers, finalise menus and styling, and build the detailed run-of-day.
The final weeks
Confirmations, seating, timings and rehearsals. This is where a coordinator earns their place — handling every detail so you don't have to.
