To Wait or Not To Wait – that is the question!

You’ve said yes, but what now? What do you book first and when should you set the date? Should you book a Late Availability wedding?

Generally, most weddings in the UK are booked around 18 months beforehand. Whilst it’s possible to plan a wedding in 4-6 weeks, most couples like to have longer to get things sorted! Late Availability weddings tend to be booked 6-12 months in advance.

Some couples choose to book a Late Availability wedding due to family or work circumstances. Others because they simply don’t want to wait, whilst several simply haven’t even thought about booking their wedding sooner rather than later! Whatever the reason, you can make your dream day a perfect day in as little as six months. And we’ve got all the tools to help you!

We’ve listed below reasons why you should consider a Late Availability date.

There are many advantages to booking a Late Availability wedding.

The biggest by far is that it can be much cheaper than those planned years in advance. Take advantage of discounted rates and special offers; making your budget stretch so much further when booking later!
