A successful wedding day runs on a shared timeline — and this form is how you build it. Designed for coordinators, photographers, and venue managers, this wedding day details form collects every key data point: venue addresses, ceremony and reception times, music selections, and special moment notes so every vendor shows up prepared.
A wedding day details form is the operational backbone of every wedding coordinator's toolkit. While most of the planning happens months in advance, the critical day-of information — exact venue addresses, ceremony start time, when hair and makeup begins, which songs play when — often lives scattered across emails, texts, and spreadsheets. This form brings it all together in one structured request.
For photographers especially, knowing the timeline in advance is essential. A photographer who knows that hair and makeup starts at 8 AM, ceremony at 3 PM, and the first dance at 5:30 PM can plan their shot list, schedule their second shooter, and arrive with the right lighting equipment for each environment. The same applies to DJs, videographers, and live bands — every vendor benefits from a complete timeline delivered in one document before the wedding day.
formformform makes it easy to send couples this form as part of a final planning checklist, 4–6 weeks before the wedding. All the information lands in your dashboard, organized and ready to transfer into your coordinator's run-of-show document. The form is completely free and can be sent as a link via email or embedded on your planning portal.

the divider and heading fields in this form separate venues, timeline, and music so the couple doesn't feel overwhelmed by a long list of questions.
use the submitted information to create a PDF run-of-show and send it back to the couple for approval before distributing to vendors.
Couples typically don't send this form to vendors — their coordinator or planner sends it to the couple as part of the planning process. The coordinator then uses the collected information to build a run-of-show document and distribute it to all vendors.
