01. Planning Checklist
We've put together a planning checklist to help make your planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible. The checklist covers all the essential tasks and milestones from a year out to the big day itself. Use it to stay organized, keep track of important details, and enjoy every step of your wedding journey.
Mustard Seed works exclusively with seven catering partners and requires the use of our in-house bar services.
Clients are required to hire an approved event planner or day-of coordinator and a licensed DJ, band or live musician to run sound for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. All other vendors may be booked at the client’s discretion.
