Wedding Date

Before anything else, you will have to set a date for your wedding. You might go into planning your wedding with a preferred wedding date already in mind. If that’s not the case, here are some ideas about how to choose your wedding date:

• It makes sense, to consider personal circumstances (Such as: Are you starting a new job and need to dedicate time to that first? Maybe you need more time to save up money for the wedding? Or a relative has a surgery planned…)


• You can also decide which season you want your wedding date to fall into and then go from there and check on the availability of your chosen venue


• Many choose a date that has personal significance to them (an anniversary, a relative’s birthdate, graduation day, etc.)


• Some choose a wedding date they can easily remember, like for example the 5th of May 2025 (05.05.25)

Keep in mind that venues charge more for hosting weddings during certain months (usually May-Sep) and days of the week (Sat / Sun).
