How far in advance should I book your event venue?
Popular dates, especially weekend evenings and holidays, typically book 6-12 months in advance, particularly during peak wedding season from May through October. However, we often have availability for weekday events or off-season dates with shorter notice.
The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with date selection, menu planning, and customization options. Even if your preferred date isn’t immediately available, it’s worth calling because cancellations do happen and we maintain a waiting list for popular dates.
