Not always, but most popular venues hold Saturday bookings 12 to 18 months out. If you want a specific date at a specific venue, 12 months is a smart runway. You can plan faster, but you will have fewer choices on date, venue, and photographer.
Venues and photographers fill up earliest. In competitive markets, well-reviewed photographers are often booked 12 to 18 months in advance. Lock those two in before you finalize anything else.
Yes. Your guest count determines the minimum venue capacity you need. A rough range, 50 versus 150 versus 250, is enough at this stage. You do not need a finalized list yet, just enough to rule out venues that are too small or too large.
Most require 20 to 50 percent of the total cost to hold your date, with the balance due 30 to 90 days before the wedding. Read the cancellation and substitution clauses before signing. Ask specifically what happens if the venue has a staffing change or closes.
