How to build a wedding run-of-show that vendors follow

The run-of-show is the document that keeps a wedding on time: ceremony at 4:30, cocktails at 6, dinner at 7:30, and a dozen vendors who each need to know exactly when they are on. The problem is that a run-of-show built in a document goes stale the moment anything moves, and a stale timeline is worse than none — vendors stop trusting it.

What makes a run-of-show work

• Fixed times pinned — the ceremony holds; everything else flexes around it.
• Durations, not just start times — so a delay cascades correctly.
• Quick to build — tap in the common moments rather than typing each one.
• Shareable and current — vendors see the real, latest version.

How Mezze does it

Mezze's schedule lets you drag moments, set durations, and pin fixed times so the ceremony stays put while the rest adjusts. Quick-add chips drop in the usual moments — ceremony, cocktails, dinner, speeches — in a tap. And the schedule is shareable, so the couple and vendors follow the current version, not last week's.
