Built backwards from your date
Twelve months out or four, the checklist compresses or stretches to the runway you actually have, so nothing is scheduled for a month that already passed.

Why it feels different
Designed around a real wedding, not a blank spreadsheet.
Every wedding checklist promises order; most just add guilt. PickWed's wedding planning checklist is generated from your real date and what you've already booked, so it only shows what matters now, including the deadlines that have consequences, like lodging your Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month out.
Inside Checklist
All the clever bits.
None of the clutter.
Open it for five minutes and know exactly what to do next. PickWed keeps the detail out of your head and in the right place.
Deadlines that warn you first
Legal lodgements, final headcounts, supplier balances: tasks with hard dates surface early and nag politely until they're done.

Aware of what you've booked
Booked your photographer through PickWed? The "find a photographer" task ticks itself. Each unbooked category deep-links straight into matching.

How it works
From “we should” to “done”.
A gentle three-step flow gets the tool working for your wedding and keeps it useful as plans change.
- 01
Add your date
The checklist drafts a month-by-month plan sized to your timeline.
- 02
Make it yours
Hide what doesn't apply, add your own tasks, set who owns what.
- 03
Watch it shrink
Booking vendors and finishing tools elsewhere in PickWed completes tasks automatically.
The connected advantage
It gets smarter when your plans move.
The checklist is wired into everything: booking a vendor completes its task, unbooked categories deep-link into vendor matching, and legal tasks connect straight to the Legal Pack tool.
Good to know
Questions, answered plainly.
No fine print, no planning jargon. Here are the things Australian couples ask us most.
When should I start planning my wedding?+
Twelve to eighteen months out is comfortable for popular venues and vendors in Australia; six months is workable with flexibility. The checklist adapts either way. It builds a plan from whatever runway you have.
What is the NOIM and when is it due?+
The Notice of Intended Marriage is the legal form you lodge with your celebrant at least one month and no more than 18 months before your wedding day. It's one of the fixed-date tasks the checklist tracks for you.
Can I add my own tasks?+
Yes. Add anything, set due dates, and assign tasks to yourself or your partner. Custom tasks sit alongside the generated plan.
Does the checklist work for short engagements?+
Yes. Tell it your date and it compresses the plan to what's achievable, prioritising the tasks with legal or contractual deadlines first.
