    We booked our venue in November 2018 for our wedding in May 2020. So about a year and a half early.

    We booked March 2019 for a July 2020 wedding. And got the last space that venue had available for the day we wanted!! If we'd waited, we probably would have had to either consider another location or push the date out even further.

    We booked our venue right away - it was the first thing we booked, and I think we were still about two years out from our wedding date at that point... but we had settled on a date until we picked the venue. They kind of came hand in hand.

    We booked ours 8 months prior, we would’ve done a year prior if our destination had remained the same.

    I just booked for my May 2021 wedding so about 15 months in advance. I'm planning my wedding in Orlando and all the prime dates book up insanely fast! One venue I wanted didn't have single day available between January and May 2021. Not even during the week, it was insane! So glad the stress is over and I can start the fun planning now.

    14 months in advance. We knew where we wanted it to be and so we snatched it up!

    We really got lucky and booked our venue 5 months in advance. Our wedding is during peak season so I'm very grateful we were lucky to secure our big day Smiley ring

    I took FH there a couple weeks before we were engaged and then booked it the day after he popped the question. It was about a year out.

    Ten months in advance. It was the first and only place we looked at. We just knew it was the perfect place!

    About a year (which will end up being longer due to postponing our wedding)

    I booked in February for my October Wedding. But I can also say I got engaged in February, but before that was official I was already pretty sure which venue we wanted.
