About this template

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.

Best practices for your wedding day details form

Send this form 4–6 weeks before the wedding

early enough to use the information for final vendor communication, late enough that the couple has locked in their details.

Include the venue address field

even experienced vendors occasionally go to the wrong location. A fully written address with city and zip code prevents day-of disasters.

Ask for hair and makeup start time

this anchors the entire getting-ready timeline and tells photographers exactly when to arrive for bridal prep shots.

Collect music selections here

even if you have a DJ questionnaire separately, having first dance and special song information in the timeline form means every vendor is aligned.

Use section headings

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.

Follow up with a timeline draft

use the submitted information to create a PDF run-of-show and send it back to the couple for approval before distributing to vendors.

Frequently asked questions

Who should couples send this form to? +

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.

When should this form be sent to the couple? +

Ideally 4–6 weeks before the wedding. This gives coordinators time to build the timeline document, share it with vendors, and make adjustments before the final walkthrough.

Can I add fields for vendor contact information? +

Yes. You can add short text fields for each vendor's name and phone number — photographer, DJ, caterer, florist — to create a complete day-of contact sheet alongside the timeline.

Is this form free for wedding coordinators to use? +

Yes. formformform is completely free. You can create this form, send it to as many couples as you have on your calendar, and collect unlimited responses at no cost.

Can I add fields for reception special moments like the bouquet toss or cake cutting? +

Yes. Add short text fields for each planned moment — 'Cake cutting time', 'Bouquet toss time', 'Grand exit time' — or use the open notes field to capture all of these together.

What if the couple doesn't have all the details finalized when they fill out the form? +

That's normal. All fields except the venue addresses and ceremony time should be optional. Couples can leave unknowns blank and you can follow up on those specific items separately.
