Step 1 – Planning & Budgeting

Identify available resources such as venue, staff, and budget to determine the type of event. When selecting a date and time, keep in mind that the Chamber will be able to assist you and be part of your ceremony in events held Monday to Friday, between 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Avoid scheduling the event too close to another important event or holiday. Coordinate the event well in advance with key people whose attendance is important. It is important to communicate with the Chamber about the date at least one month in advance to give people sufficient notice.
