Setting the Wedding Date

Once the good news has been announced and everyone has had time to digest the exciting news, the wedding planning usually begins.

The Start

Setting the wedding date is one of the most important decisions in the planning of your wedding as everything else will need to fit around this day and is usually the place where people start the process.

The time of year is the biggest consideration when setting the date - do you want a spring wedding? Would the summer be better, or have you always dreamed of a white wedding?

Spring and summer are by far the most popular times for weddings to be held so it’s a good idea to leave a little bit of extra time to make sure you find the perfect wedding venue if you’re looking for a wedding at these times.

Dates and Venues

It’s best to decide where you want to hold the ceremony first before booking the venue for the reception. This way you can make sure that both venues (if you are having a ceremony somewhere different) are available at the same time, on the date you want.

A lot of people recommend to give at least a minimum of six months to plan your wedding, but a lot of people want to plan even further ahead than this - often leaving up to 18 months to give themselves enough time to get all the different aspects, especially their venues sorted.

It is then a good idea to try and get your reception venue booked as soon as possible, once you have found the location for the ceremony.

Most reception venues will allow you to secure the date you want by paying a deposit, which will often be one of the first things you pay towards your wedding.

Once you have set the date and your chosen venues are booked, it is a good idea to think about taking out wedding insurance to make sure that you have cancellation cover in place to protect any deposits you’ve paid, just in case anything unforeseen happens.
