At The Regency, we understand the significance of this milestone, and we're here to guide you through the next steps to make your wedding dreams a reality.


Celebrate and Share the News

The first step after getting engaged is to revel in the joy of the moment. Share the news with your family and friends, and let the celebration begin. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a grand party, savor the love and support that surrounds you. Capture the reactions, create memories, and bask in the happiness of this special occasion.


Set a Preliminary Budget

As you start envisioning your dream wedding, it's crucial to establish a preliminary budget. This will serve as a foundation for your planning process, enabling you to make well-informed choices regarding the size and extent of your celebration. Take into account factors such as the number of guests, venue, catering, and other essentials to ensure your budget aligns with your vision.


Choose a Wedding Style and Theme

Reflect on your personal style as a couple and decide on the overall theme and atmosphere you want for your wedding day. Whether it's a romantic garden affair, a rustic barn celebration, or a glamorous ballroom event, selecting a theme will provide direction for your decisions regarding décor, attire, and even the choice of venue.


Pick a Date and Venue

Selecting a wedding date is a pivotal decision that will influence many aspects of your planning. Once you have a date in mind, explore potential venues that align with your vision. At The Regency, we offer a variety of stunning settings, from picturesque outdoor spaces to an elegant ballroom, ensuring the perfect backdrop for your special day.


Create a Guest List

Compile a preliminary guest list to estimate the size of your wedding. This will help you determine the appropriate venue size, catering needs, and overall logistics. Keep in mind that the guest list often impacts other decisions, such as the choice of a caterer and the style of the event.


Hire Wedding Professionals

Assemble your dream team of wedding professionals, including a photographer, florist, caterer, and entertainment. These experts will collaborate with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring that every detail is meticulously planned and executed.


Save the Dates and Invitations

Once you've solidified the date, venue, and guest list, it's time to send out save-the-dates to give your guests a heads-up. Shortly after, work on creating and sending out your formal invitations, providing essential details about the celebration and RSVP instructions.


Consider Wedding Attire

Begin the search for your wedding attire, including the bride's gown, groom's suit, and attire for the wedding party. Allow ample time for fittings and alterations to ensure everyone looks and feels their best on the big day.


Register and Plan the Honeymoon

Take the opportunity to create a wedding registry, allowing your guests to share in your joy by contributing to your newlywed life. Simultaneously, start planning your dream honeymoon, selecting a destination that resonates with both of you and aligns with your post-wedding vision.


As you navigate these next steps after getting engaged, remember that this journey is about celebrating your love and commitment. At The Regency, we're here to assist you in creating the wedding of your dreams. From choosing the perfect venue to coordinating with trusted vendors, our team is dedicated to making your special day as magical as the moment you said 'yes.' Cheers to the exciting adventure that lies ahead, and may your wedding be the beginning of a lifetime filled with love and joy.
