You sit there doing the back-math: if the ceremony is at 4:00, hair and makeup has to start at... 10:55? And if we do a first look, the portraits move \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e the ceremony, so now everything shifts again — and you redo the whole thing by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one does the math for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnter one number — your ceremony time. Flip one switch — first look, yes or no. From that, the entire day fills in, from the first curl to the last dance, with every block timed and every minute editable. It also builds a separate vendor-arrival sheet (so your photographer knows to be there at 1:40, not \"sometime in the afternoon\") and three clean views you can actually share: one for you, one for your team, one for your guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a builder, not another blank template?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what a free blank timeline can't do for you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTell you, instantly, that a 4:00 PM ceremony means hair \u0026amp; makeup starts at 10:55 AM — and re-tell you the moment you push the ceremony to 4:30\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMove your couple and wedding-party portraits \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e the ceremony when you choose a first look, and back to cocktail hour when you don't — with the rest of the day re-timed to match\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand each vendor a single arrival time instead of a vague window — Photographer 1:40 PM, Officiant 3:30 PM, Catering 4:55 PM, DJ\/Band 6:45 PM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGive your guests a clean five-line version (Guests arrive · Ceremony · Cocktail hour · Dinner \u0026amp; reception · Send-off) without exposing your getting-ready chaos\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLive in your pocket on the day — a phone-first view with a tick box for every block, so you're glancing, not flipping pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou type the ceremony time once. Everything downstream is calculated.

Ceremony-Time Auto-Build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nType your ceremony time — say 4:00 PM — and the builder back-calculates everything before it (hair \u0026amp; makeup, getting dressed, detail photos, buffer, guest arrival) and forward-calculates everything after it (cocktail hour, entrance, dinner, toasts, first dance, dancing, send-off). The ceremony is the anchor; the whole day hangs off it. Nudge any block's minutes and the timeline re-flows around your change. A blank table makes you hold all that math in your head. We hold it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. The First-Look Toggle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne switch decides where your couple and wedding-party portraits land. Choose \u003cstrong\u003eYes\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the portrait block moves \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e the ceremony — first look at 2:10 PM, everyone calm and photographed before guests arrive. Choose \u003cstrong\u003eNo\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the same block slides to cocktail hour while your guests sip and mingle. The rest of the day re-times automatically either way. This is the one decision every couple wrestles with, and it's a single click here — not a manual re-draw of the entire afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Auto Vendor-Arrival Sheet + 3 Share Views\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe builder derives a vendor-arrival sheet from your timeline: each vendor's arrival time is calculated from their first scheduled block minus a lead time you control. Hand it over and your photographer, officiant, caterer, and DJ all know exactly when to show up. Then three share-ready views come out of the same numbers — a \u003cstrong\u003ecouple master\u003c\/strong\u003e (the full hour-by-hour plan), a \u003cstrong\u003evendor view\u003c\/strong\u003e (who arrives when), and a \u003cstrong\u003eguest view\u003c\/strong\u003e (the five moments guests actually care about).
