Free tools

No account, no email address, no watermark on the way out. They are here because the first draft of a wedding timeline is not the hard part — and the fastest way to say that is to give the first draft away.

  • Wedding day timeline generator

    Ceremony time in, a full run of show out — with load-in windows and the light worked out for your date.

    Builds a draft wedding day run of show from the ceremony time, the date, the venue and whether there is a first look — including vendor load-in windows and the golden hour, computed for the venue's own coordinates.

  • Vendor coordination checklist

    Not what to buy. Who has to agree with whom, and by when — for the size of wedding you are actually working.

    The points where two wedding vendors have to agree with each other — venue access, the room flip, certificates of insurance, the rain call — ordered by when each has to be settled, for four wedding sizes.

  • Golden hour calculator

    Sunset, golden hour, and the latest your ceremony can start if the portraits are happening afterwards.

    Sunrise, sunset and both golden hours for a wedding date and location, with the latest ceremony time that still finishes portraits in daylight without a first look, and how far sunset moves across the year.

Why these are free

Runsheet is a coordination tool for wedding vendors — one run of show that everybody working the day is actually looking at, instead of eleven copies in eleven inboxes. Every one of these tools answers a question a vendor has on their own, and none of them answers the question that costs a wedding money, which is whether the other eleven people have the current version.

The guides go further into the same material, and pricing is one number.
