I'm planning on getting married next June. How soon do I need to start making reservations for stuff?

The standard answer is 6 months but I suggest starting now to make sure the church and reception hall is available. Once you have those booked, then you can start looking at everything else. You can't really have the date nailed down until you get those taken care of. Also, once you've done that, you know what the restrictions are - if you need a caterer, if you need to provide alcohol, if there are restrictions on floral arrangements or food or cake or anything like that. Good luck and congratulations!

I'm also getting married in June, and I've already got my church and reception hall reserved. They say do it at least 6 months in advance, but I'm the type of person who wants to make sure everything is taken care of ahead of time. I'm pretty much putting everything else off until the beginning of next year, then am going to look at caterers, photographers, bands, etc.

Start now. We did ours 9 months in advance (october for our july wedding)and about 1/2 of the reception halls we called were already booked. The one that we really wanted was booked every Friday and Saturday for the following summer.

The sooner you book, you lock in at what the price is now. I know our photographer raised the price of our package $300. Because we already had a contract, we got the lower price.

Make sure you check out theknot.com. You can get reviews from people who used vendors you are considering.

Congrats and good luck.

Start making reservations now. Reception halls and churches book June weekends faster than you can dial the phone. I hope you get the places you want! Have fun planning.

It's really higher to e-book ahead of time. Which you could guide your venue and carriers with out particularly having to tell all people about it, except your fiance. Definite, you could wait unless 10-one year ahead of time, and without doubt weddings can be planned in that point, but you would not want to lose your dream venue or your favored companies since you waited would you? Just pick a date and begin booking the matters you would like, and hold it to your self except you are competent to make a "giant exhibit" of the engagement.

Start now. The more you get done ahead of time, the less you have to worry about in the long run. If you start early too you can shop around and save some money. I book the weddings at my church and we already have August '08 ones on the calendar.

You want to start as soon as possible so you have the most options (especially for a June wedding). Plus, after you get the big things done then you have time to relax. I personally am going to try to get as much done as physically possible long before my actual wedding - I want to avoid as much last minute craziness as possible!

it somewhat is extra useful to e book previous to time. you are able to e book your venue and distributors without somewhat having to tell every person approximately it, different than your fiance. particular, you should attend till 10-3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous to time, and somewhat weddings would be planned in that ingredient, yet you will not desire to lose your dream venue or your favorite distributors because you waited would you? purely %. a date and start up booking the failings you need, and save it to your self till you're waiting to make a "enormous practice" of the engagement.

Depending upon where you live, you may need a year! Book the minister/officiant and church/location first, because then you have a date and can fit in the premarital counsellling sessions when they are scheduled. Then, you need to book your venue and caterer, and a band if you are having one. From then on, you move on to invitations, attire, flowers, cake, etc...

Now! as in yesterday. trust me! they run out really fast. I'm finishing up my wedding plans already cause i'm getting married next weekend. it was hell trying to find a place 10 months before the date.
