Waiting 2 years for the wedding?

Sometimes if you book out really far the venue will give you better pricing (lock in 2017 pricing for 2019). I know it sucks to wait but if it's the venue of your dreams I'd suggest waiting.

This is really up to you. My Dream venue (had been pinterest stalking for a couple years) was totally booked until January 2019 and I didn't want to wait another 10 months. I was sad but we wound up finding a different venue, a hidden gem that IMO was 100x better. If I had got the choice to book the original one on my date, I would not change it. It worked out and I'm so in love with the new venue we found.

We waited about 18 months for our wedding, and I gotta be honest waiting was a great decision. It let us save up more wedding to get exactly what we want plus is was so less stressful! If this is the dream venue waiting isn't terrible. However if this is the first venue y'all have looked at it's never a bad thing to look at other venues too. One might surprise you.

Our date is non-negotiable to my FH. However, if you don't mind changing your date to 2019 waiting seems like a great idea. Like pp have said you'll end up saving more money and having tons more time to plan- thus less stress. Look around at other venues, but if this is really the perfect venue I say wait! Good luck in whatever you decide

If this were me, I would move it out that way I could save more money! This is totally your call though.

If you are ok with waiting then go with that venue. Plus it will give you more time to save. I could not wait more then a year to be married but everyone is different. If you don't want to wait that long to get married then look at other venues and see if there is anything else you like.

H and I had a 2 year wait. We had the venue of our choice, we got great pricing through our vendors, and were able to check things off our to do list at a slower pace. The pro was that everything was hammered out before the day. The con was that it felt like an eternity to happen. To us it was worth waiting.

We waited 26 months and it was the best decision ever. We are paying for our whole wedding ourselves, so this gave us all the time we needed to save enough money. If you want this venue, I'd say go for it! Another pro- we got 1st choice for all of our vendors. Also, I was able to research the heck out of every single aspect of the wedding, so we are completely confident that we are getting what we want and paying the best price.

If it were me I would probably find another venue.

I'll have a 2.5 year engagement. It goes fast, but spread out planning and everything will go smoothly!

We are waiting our engagement will be a little bit over 2 years. The venue we wanted was completely book May of 2018 so we decided to wait until 2019. Of course I was upset that I had to wait that long to get married but it gives you plenty of time to save money and to plan. However I still wish I could have had the wedding sooner!

Waiting has many advantages, not the least of which is that you will be able to save more money.

You could look around to see if any other venues strike your fancy.

Also consider if waiting to get married will affect other plans like home-buying, having kids etc.

My fiance and I got engaged in June 2016, and our wedding isn't until September 2018. It's given us way more time to save and plan. This way, you won't have to rush through decisions, and you will have more time to decide on exactly what you want and find ways to save along the way. If it's your dream venue, I would wait! You're going to be together forever, anyway, and if this venue will help make your wedding everything you've dreamed of, then wait!

Totally up to you! We wanted to get married at a venue that only had a couple days left open so we postponed for 2 years to get first pick (engaged Aug 2015, getting married Sept 2017). We will have a 2 year engagement. No biggie.

I had a long engagement! Now that we are so close I have no idea how people pull it off in a year! Also it was nice to kind of feel relaxed through the whole process!

We had a 2 year engagement b/c we wanted the extra time to save money. BEST decision we ever made. We used that time to plan all the beautiful details of the day (like my handmade one of a kind wedding shoes). The time will fly by!!

I'm not as into weddings as most people I think. I would never wait that long. I set my date 5 months out! Its a party. You can have a fun wedding at a different venue. That's just my opinion though. If you have your heart set on that venue and don't mind waiting- go for it!

I had to put our wedding on hold because FH is currently deployed and won't be back until early next year. Waiting has helped us save money as well as collecting stuff a little at a time. Plus wedding planning has helped me get through this whole him being gone thing.

I would check out other venues and see if there is anything else that you fall in love with, if you do not find anything then I would stick with the first one!
