Right now you're probably thinking, obviously I need to choose a wedding date! How is that a tip?
I cannot stress how important the questions surrounding choosing your date are.
❓Do you want a certain date?
❓Do you want to marry during peak or off-peak season?
❓Do you need to account for family and friends that are traveling?
❓Do you want to choose a weekday or weekend?
And, here is why:
1️⃣ If you are choosing a date that is special to you as a couple, you want to ensure you can book the venue and vendors you really want. Dates fill up quickly, so if your heart is set on a specific date, especially if it's a weekend during peak season, run, don't walk, to get your most important things booked.
2️⃣ Have you decided to get married during peak season? In Kentucky that is anytime from April to November, but fall is an exceptionally busy time. Those dates go quickly for vendors. Now, if your planning for off-peak season you may have your choice of dates and might also get discounts since these are slower months. Think December to March.
3️⃣ Have family and friends who will be traveling? Maybe you want to choose a long weekend to make it easy on them. This is great thinking, just remember a lot of other couples are thinking the same thing.
4️⃣ Weekday weddings, if you're able to, can be great options. You can typically get deals on venues, and sometimes on other vendors, too.
