Planning your wedding can be exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also be overwhelming. If you’re not working with a full-service planner or month-of coordinator, there’s one big detail you don’t want to overlook: your wedding day timeline. Vendors will ask for it. Your family will expect structure. And most importantly, you deserve a day that flows smoothly from start to finish. That’s exactly why I created a workshop just for couples like you.

🗓 Wedding Day Timeline Workshop

Thursday, August 21, 2025
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Northeastern Illinois University (5500 N. St. Louis, SU #216, Chicago, IL)
Cost: $60 per person
Limited to 30 attendees

This 2-hour, in-person session is designed to help you walk away with a detailed timeline you can confidently share with your vendors, wedding party, and anyone else involved in your big day.

We’ll cover:

  • The key parts of your wedding day and how to structure them

  • How much time to allow for glam, photos, travel, and transitions

  • What your vendors really need to know (and when they need to know it)

  • The most common timing mistakes and how to avoid them

Plus, you’ll receive:

  • Printable worksheets to build and refine your timeline

  • Guidance and feedback from me, Desireé Dent, a certified, professional planner with over 25 years of experience

  • Light bites and beverages in a relaxed, supportive setting

This Workshop Is Perfect For:

  • Couples planning their wedding without a professional planner or coordinator

  • Anyone feeling unsure about how to organize their day

  • Those who want to avoid unnecessary stress and vendor confusion

You do not need to figure it out alone. Whether your wedding is traditional, modern, laid-back, or packed with back-to-back events, you’ll leave this workshop with structure and clarity…two things that go a long way when your big day arrives.
