About Our Editorial Team
Wedding Planner Ticklist is an independent planning guide for couples who want to get married without losing track of the details. We turn the big, vague job of planning a wedding into timelines, budgets and checklists you can actually tick off, one item at a time.
What we cover
- Planning timelines: month-by-month and hour-by-hour schedules, from the engagement to the last dance.
- Budget and costs: realistic price ranges, hidden fees, tipping amounts and how to split a budget across vendors.
- Checklists and tools: packing lists, emergency kits, guest list and seating chart templates.
- Vendors and hiring: the questions to ask venues, caterers, photographers and stylists before you sign.
Who writes it
Guides are published under the editorial name Claire Sterling, the pen name of our small independent editorial team. We are not a wedding planning agency and we do not sell vendor services. What we do is the research: comparing vendor contracts, published cost surveys, etiquette guides and real couples’ experiences, then boiling them down into steps and numbers you can use.
How we put a guide together
Cost ranges come from published wedding industry surveys and current vendor pricing, and we say clearly when a figure is a national average. Etiquette advice reflects common US practice, and we point out where customs vary by family, culture or region. Guides are reviewed and updated when prices or norms shift.
Independence
We do not accept payment for positive coverage. Some pages may contain affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure for how that works.
