But seriously, how much do you love hearing a planner say, "It's in the timeline" when you have a question about an event? Planners spend hours working on Event Timelines, but what is the point if the information isn't easy for a vendor to find or the timeline itself doesn't have what they need? Of course, it is worth asking potentially...Did the vendor open the timeline?

Join us on a panel with a Planner, Photographer, Rental Company and Caterer as we chat through the vendor needs, wants, and preferences during the Timeline Production leading up to the event. We'll even reference timelines live to see what was included that was helpful or what may have been missing.
