The overwhelm is normal

Budgets, guest lists, venues that book out a year ahead, a dozen vendor quotes in different chat threads. Most couples don't struggle because planning is hard - they struggle because it's scattered. The fix is a clear order to work in, and one place to keep it all.

Your first five steps

  1. 1Set a rough budget togetherBefore anything else, agree on a number you're both comfortable with, and who is contributing. Almost every other decision - guest count, venue, vendors - flows from this.
  2. 2Draft a guest countYou don't need final names yet, just a realistic headcount. In Singapore this usually drives your banquet size and is the single biggest cost lever.
  3. 3Pick a date or seasonPopular weekends and auspicious dates book out a year or more ahead. Even a target month lets you start locking in the vendors that matter most.
  4. 4Secure the big-ticket vendors firstVenue, then photographer, videographer and any planner. These get booked earliest, so enquire before the rest.
  5. 5Keep everything in one placeBudget, guest list, vendor quotes, payments and your timeline live better together than across chat threads and spreadsheets. That's what Wedding Desk is for.

Newly engaged? Common questions

What should I do first after getting engaged?
Start with a rough budget and a realistic guest count, then a target date or season. Those three decisions shape everything else. After that, enquire with your big-ticket vendors - venue, photographer and videographer - since they book up earliest.
How far in advance should I plan a wedding in Singapore?
Most couples plan over 9 to 18 months. Popular venues and sought-after photographers are often booked a year or more ahead, so the earlier you secure the big items, the more choice you'll have.
How much does a wedding in Singapore cost?
It varies widely. Intimate weddings can come in around S$8,000–20,000, while a full hotel banquet for 150–250 guests typically runs S$50,000–85,000. See our Singapore wedding budget guide for a full breakdown and a cost estimator.
Do I need a wedding planner?
Not necessarily. Many couples in Singapore self-plan, especially with a hotel coordinator handling the banquet. A good set of tools to stay organised, plus a shortlist of reliable vendors, covers most of what a planner would keep on top of.
Is Delegate free to use?
