How far in advance should I book my wedding?

Lets be honest, this is a hard question to answer! There are so many variables like budget (are you saving for it yourselves), location (Sydney vendors V Bourke vendors booking times), are you in a hurry (things like pregnancy or favourite season) these all play into how soon/far away a couple plan there wedding so all the information below is based on an average wedding in the South Coast NSW timeline.

A minimum of 12months is the short answer (though a celebrant requires a min of 6wks legally).
Once your engaged start looking at venues and/ or any area you consider a MAJOR part of your wedding. If you already know a vendor say photographer you wish to use speak to them, find out how open there books are – this may be your determining factor of how far in advance to get your preferred season/month or vendor.

Venues are usually the first item couples book, once this is done you can start working on everyone else.

Extenuating Circumstances, like covid-19 postponing most 2020 weddings, will mean vendors may be booked out further in advance.
