My fiancee and I are getting married on October 3rd of 2020 at the Beautiful Byron Colby Barn in Grayslake Il.

So far we have the barn, caterer, DJ and Photographer booked. Curious to see where others are at who have the same date or within a week. Also, any advice on purchasing alcohol from a Binny's rather than a bar service?

    Date twins! So far I have booked our venue which includes catering/tables/linens/etc., photographer/videographer, DJ, flowers, cake, hair/makeup, photo booth, bought my dress, started looking into rentals, and am working on making a lot of our signs! We have been engaged since August 2018, so I have had PLENTY of time to plan! I can't believe we are only 11 months away, so exciting!

    Date twins! We have the same things you guys have done. My friend told me last night that I’m really far behind with planning but I honestly don’t think I am. Ive also bought my dress which is a huge stress lifted. We’re probably going to start doing our flowers and menu tasting in December.

    Love your photo! Looks like it will be a beautiful space!

    We are getting married 10/10/2020. So far we have: our venue (for ceremony & reception is nearly all inclusive so it includes, tables/ chairs & linens, catering, alcohol, DJ, officiant, cake & photographer). We also have our florist, hair & make up, hotel room blocks arranged & have our stationary company for save the dates/ invitations (local company in Vegas).

    I am going dress shopping next weekend. And we are taking engagement photos in January.

    Early next year we will send out save the dates, start to figure out day of transportation for wedding party & maybe family, men’s attire, select MOH & flower girl dresses then sort out all the little details by September 1.

    good luck!

    We got engaged in July of 2019. I feel we have it easier...lol no dresses or hair to do really! The bridesmaid dresses are taking some time though. So many people to coordinate.

    Hi Jordan we are getting married on October 3, 2020 as well. We have our ceremony spot with reception to follow at the same location which includes a three course dinner, wedding cake, white glove service, event coordinator, chavari chairs, floral center pieces, wedding cake, and hotel accommodations in a jacuzzi room for the night. So really the only thing we have to worry about is our d.j. and photographer. We still get to do all the fun stuff like cake testing, but with our busy lives this saved us a lot of time. Best wishes and congrats!😁
