This week we have had to turn so many people away that its not funny, which leads to the question, How early should you be looking to book services for your wedding??
There's no easy answer but i would suggest that its never too early. Once you have set your ceremony date you should probably be looking to pretty quickly book the main services you require. Ceremony Venue, Celebrant, Reception Venue, Cars, Photographers and Videographers you should be booking as soon as possible. Other services or products you will probably have the time to organise later, however if you dont secure the abovementioned you could end up missing out on your preferred service.
Peak times for weddings (for me anyway) are October/November and February/March/April. My bookings for the 10th and 17th of October this year were taken about 18 months in advance. The past couple of weeks we have had to turndown 4 people for the 10th, a couple for the 17th and a few more for other months.
So when people tell you that you need to get onto things as soon as your engaged dont brush it off, they are right! That doesnt mean you wont be able to find suitable alternatives you just might miss out on your preferred/ideal providers.
