How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Date

A wedding date is one of the first and most important choices you’ll make about your big day.
Thankfully, there’s no “correct” date to get married. There’s only the one that’s right for you!
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you pick out the perfect time:

Your Budget
To keep your spending in check, be sure to set a budget before booking your venue.

Once you've established your finances, you can look at venues and wedding packages that fit within your limit. This helps you determine a date that’s perfect for the location you’re getting married.

For example, if the venue that’s within your price range is only available in the fall, then it looks like you’ll be having a beautiful autumn wedding!

Seasons
Keep in mind that wedding venues typically offer discounts to couples who get married off-season or on certain days of the week. These are dates during which your venue is less busy or “less optimal,” and therefore less expensive.

For most venues, the late winter months will be the least expensive for a ceremony. Weekdays also tend to be the most affordable days to get married.

So if you’re really trying to save money, a Monday in February is probably going to be your best friend! (Unless it’s Valentine’s Day of course.)

If your venue doesn't offer a discount for these dates, you should still ask about their costs. You may be able to negotiate a lower price.

Planning Time
Also consider how long you’ll spend planning your wedding. Some couples prefer to have more time on their hands than others.
If you have plenty of time to plan, you may want to consider a late-season date to minimize the costs of hiring a wedding planner and choosing more expensive vendors.
On the other hand, if your time is limited, you may want to choose an early-season date so you have more time to plan and book vendors within your budget.

Holiday Dates
When choosing a wedding date, consider the things that matter to you as a couple.

For example, if you plan on having a large wedding celebration, you may want to choose a wedding date near a holiday so you can include more friends and family in the festivities. (It’s more likely they’ll have time off work during a holiday.)

That said, the cost of travel can skyrocket during the holidays, so be mindful of your and your loved ones’ budgets.

Remember: Your wedding date is YOUR decision at the end of the day, all the decisions you make about your wedding are personal—including the day on which you choose to get married.

This is the date you’ll be celebrating for the rest of your life, so choose something that’s meaningful to you during the time of year you enjoy most.

There’s no rush to get hitched when you plan to be together forever, so take your time selecting a time and location that’s perfect for you and your love.

Choose The Right Person For the Job

Make sure you choose a DJ/MC experienced in telling love stories. They should be able to captivate
your guests and keep them entertained throughout the celebration.

Give Them a List of Your Favourite Things

Your wedding DJ/MC will need to your likes and dislikes. They can use this information to create a script that will tell your love story perfectly!

Write Out Your Love Story Beforehand

Work with your DJ/MC to craft the real story of your relationship.
This will help your guests to better understand your relationship and make it easier for them to share in you story.

Ensure you include all the essential details, such as how you met, your first date, and any special
moments you've shared.

Tell The DJ/ What You Want Them to Focus On

While you may have already written out your love story, there may be certain parts that you want
the DJ/MC to focus on more than others.

For example, they can focus on the moment you got engaged or long before that - perhaps when
you met at high school. There’s so much room for your creativity to shine!

Be Prepared to Answer Questions

Your guests are likely to have questions about your love story based on things that they may or may not been aware of. Be prepared to answer these questions so the DJ can effectively tell your story and offer a great experience!

Relax And Enjoy Yourself

This is your wedding day, so relax and enjoy yourself. The more relaxed you are, the better the
DJ/MC can tell your story.

Follow these tips to add a personal touch to your wedding day and make it even more special,
but we don’t expect you to do all this alone. More than a wedding planner, your DJ/MC's assistance
is necessary here too.
