It is important to book your wedding as early as possible. Venues, caterers, photographers, and accommodations are all filling up fast in preparation of the coming wedding season. The average bride and groom book there wedding 10 months in advance. They do this to ensure the can get the date they want.

Many brides and grooms pick the same weekends in the summer. There are specific dates and weekends that are more popular than others such as the 3rd Saturday in June, July and August. There is also a trend of getting married on such dates as 11/11/11 just because the numbers are special. These dates are often booked at least a year if not two in advance. Most of the time a deposit is required to save the date. This is great and gives the bride and groom confidence that they have secured the needed facilities, caterer, photographer, and accommodations. Although the plans for these types of essential wedding particulars should be made relatively quickly the final details will not have to be confirmed until the date gets closer.

Booking early also means you will have more time to enjoy the engagement and subsequent months before the wedding. These months are known for their last minute disasters and not being able to find a caterer a month before you walk down the isle can end up costing you money, quality food and good service.

It takes time to research and locate the right vendors and more importantly the right caterer for you. Many companies now provide more than just the food and service; they offer a wedding planner who can assist with all your needs. For this reason it is important to make sure you put a deposit down on a caterer as early as possible so that you get the company that is right for you.

Of course with all this being said sometimes people have no other choice but to book last minute. As long as you are flexible on the date and time it is totally doable. Often times you can contact vendors and ask if they have any dates that have not been filled yet. They will probably be eager to get you on the book so that they can take advantage of every prime wedding date possible.
