Why spring is the perfect time to book your wedding vendors
With spring just around the corner (oh my GOSH, I hope it’s just around the corner!!!), it might just be the perfect time to get serious about booking your wedding vendors. As an experienced planner here in London Ontario, I've seen firsthand how choosing the right time to secure your vendors can make all the difference in your wedding planning journey. From taking advantage of off-peak availability to nailing down details before summer distractions, here are some compelling reasons to start booking your wedding vendors this spring.
Beat the Wedding Season Rush
Let’s be honest… early spring here in London isn’t necessarily the prettiest time of year, which means that many weddings aren’t booked until late April and after. One of the most significant advantages of booking your vendors in the spring is that popular vendors, who often have packed schedules during the summer and fall, will have more availability to meet with you. We always, always advise you to meet in person with your vendors before booking, especially the ones you’ll have a lot of interaction with on the day (like your planner, your photographer/videographer, and your officiant!). Getting on their calendars before they’re busy with summer weddings will ensure that communication is smoother, and you have an easier time booking appointments!
Capitalize on Wedding Show Promotions
Early spring is also a prime time for wedding shows and expos, offering a treasure trove of opportunities for soon-to-be-wed couples. These events are not only a fantastic way to gather ideas and inspiration but also a chance to score some incredible deals. Many vendors offer exclusive promotions and discounts during these shows to attract new clients. By attending a spring wedding show, you can meet vendors face-to-face, experience their offerings firsthand, and potentially save a significant amount on your wedding budget. It's a win-win situation that allows you to stretch your wedding dollars further while securing high-quality services for your big day.
Enjoy Your Summer Without Wedding Planning Stress
Let's face it—when the sun is shining and the weather is warm, the last thing you want is to be cooped up inside, buried under a pile of wedding plans. By booking your vendors in the spring, you can lock in all the major details before the summer months arrive. This strategic move allows you to enjoy the beautiful weather, partake in outdoor activities, and even sneak in some quality time with your partner without the looming stress of wedding logistics (not to mention attending your friends’ weddings, which are no doubt on your calendar as well!). With the peace of mind that comes from having your vendors secured, you can savor the summer season, knowing that your wedding plans are well underway and in capable hands.
Access to Fresh Ideas and Trends
Many vendors spend their less busy winter months researching new trends and taking the time to educate themselves on what’s new in the industry. By booking your vendors during this time, you can tap into the latest inspirations and incorporate them into your wedding plans. Vendors are often eager to showcase fresh concepts and cutting-edge designs, and by engaging with them early, you can explore these options and tailor them to your unique celebration. Whether it's a modern twist on floral arrangements or a novel approach to wedding cuisine, spring offers a fertile ground for imaginative and distinctive wedding elements.
Booking your wedding vendors in the spring is a smart move that can set the tone for a stress-free and enjoyable wedding planning experience.
