Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. To stay on track while preparing for such a momentous event, you’ll need a detailed game plan. Here, Manoa Grand Ballroom shares some ideas for planning your wedding the right way. As one of the most popular wedding venues in Honolulu, they offer high-quality catering services and banquet halls to make your big day an unforgettable occasion. 

Here’s how to start your wedding planning off on the right foot:

• Determine Your Budget: When it comes to the reception, your budget will be a driving force. To start, determine how much you can afford to spend. Then, add in potential contributions from relatives. Once you’ve set a realistic budget, consider the probable costs for the catering and wedding venue, as well as a photographer, music, flowers, and other essentials. 
• Develop A Timeline: An organized timeline will help you stay on track and relieve stress as you plan your nuptials. Before looking at the smaller details, select your ideal wedding venue—its availability will determine your wedding date. Break down the timeline into two- or three-month periods and set goals within each section. That way, you can check in at the end of each month to ensure you are not falling behind. Book services—such as catering and photography—as far in advance as possible. 
• Partner With Professionals: Planning a large party can overwhelm even the most organized couples. Hire the help of industry professionals to plan the wedding of your dreams and stay within your budget. A professional party planner will serve as a seamless liaison between you and all your vendors.
