Changing your date

I guess it would depend on how much the date meant to me vs the venue. It would also depend on whether there were any other venues that I loved available on my date, or Any other venues that I loved as much as this one that was within my price range. If it was my absolute dream venue, then I would be willing to change my date as long as it was within the same season. If there were no other venues that I loved nearly as much within my price range, then I would also change the date for that. However, if the specific date has extreme significant meaning, then I would probably stick with my date and try to find another venue. But if I simply chose a date because it looked cool or something like that, then I would definitely choose my dream venue.

View Quoted Comment That’s what I’m thinking. I had that date planned because I love the idea behind “it’s 11:11 make a wish!” And 11+11 is obviously 22 so that date was beautiful, but the venue is everything I’ve ever wanted and more!

Like Ava said, I really think it depends on the date, venue, and your personal preference. We originally wanted 10/9/2021, as it’s our six year dating anniversary, but our venue didn’t have the space we wanted available. We wound up moving to 10/8/21 and it was a blessing in disguise! Slightly discounted Friday rates, get a whole weekend to celebrate, and we’ll wake up on our anniversary married!

View Quoted Comment Go with the venue, girl! So many brides cannot find a venue they like within their price range, let alone one that is everything you’ve ever wanted plus more! The 11.11 thing is cute, but is just a superstition. I guarantee you getting married on a certain date is not going affect the happiness or success of your marriage in the least.

It definitely depends. For me it would've been a no because my husband and I have the same dating, engagement, and marriage date so it was significant to us. We did end up having to postpone the reception a year out because of Covid but the date of marriage was what meant most to us. Otherwise, I would be open to changing the date.

While the date you picked is cute, it sounds like the venue is more important. It is hard to find a venue that has everything love and more.

I say change the date if the date isn’t super important. Just keep in mind the 25 is the day after Thanksgiving. People may be out of town traveling for the holiday. A lot of people do Black Friday shopping that day. When would you have your rehearsal? Wednesday? Will your bridal party be able to make it the day before a holiday? None of that is super Important just things that may cause logistical issues down the road.

No... we would change the venue rather than the date .
In fact, I've never wanted to have a dream venue, neither have my fiancé. We picked a simple restaurant. Just in case, I would change it and I know my groom doesn't care that much about this either. Our date is not extremely important but our preference was a late april wedding (the costs are cheaper than during the 'wedding season' and chances are that the weather will be nice and hopefully will allow us to have an outdoor ceremony, finger crossed 🤞).

If the date had a very significant meaning to me, then I might consider it, but I know the story behind the choosing of your date! Judging by that, I would say choose the venue! While your reasoning for choosing your date is a sweet one, I think the venue def. wins. So many couples end up not being able to use the venue they want, so I'd take advantage of the fact that you're able to book yours!

Just remember Thanksgiving in the day before on 11/24/2022 so you would be getting married on Black Friday.

Honestly dates like 11/11/2022 go super quick, I know a few people getting married on that date already so its no surprise its taken

I would go venue over date any day

View Quoted Comment 100% correct! I have no problem moving my date for this beautiful wedding. Since Covid post poned a lot of weddings, dates are getting picked up fast!

View Quoted Comment Awh yes I wouldn’t want to change that either. Yes with Covid postponing weddings a lot of dates are being snatched quick.

View Quoted Comment Ohhh I did not think about that. Thank you for reminding me!

View Quoted Comment That’s exactly what I was thinking! The venue is all I’ve ever wanted!

I’ve always wanted a particular venue. Never been date specific because my family is huge somebody usually shares a date with a birthday anniversary or something lol. So if the venue is more important then change the date. It’s your dream venue for a reason.

Do it girl! I know one thing, you'll def. regret not booking that venue more than you would regret not keeping the same date!

To me, the venue is one of the most important parts of wedding planning. If I found a venue I loved, I would take whatever date they had available. A date is just a date.

View Quoted Comment Absolutely right. Y’all make me feel so much better about just switching the date. The venue will be in all our pictures and something you look at all night. nobody sees the date or hardly remembers it besides the bride and groom.

I’ve always believed that your wedding date should be decided by what venue you want. Unless there’s something special about it that matters more than the venue. I’d change the date slightly to have my wedding where I want. The date becomes special when it becomes your anniversary.

If the date isn't important, I'd definitely change it in a heartbeat. If the month and day is important, I would talk to the venue about booking the same date for the following year. Waiting never hurts if it's the venue you REALLY want.
