10. Can you create a timeline that tells everyone involved in the planning process (other pros, members of the wedding party, to-be-weds and families) what to do and when to do it? How will you make sure everyone sticks to the schedule?

My best advice would be to create a checklist. In each month till wedding set tasks that should be completed. Starting with the biggest parts of the wedding such as finding vendors and venues. Then map out a budget. As the wedding approaches closer then work on the minor things.
