When is Wedding Season?

Generally the warmer months may-September are most popular for wedding. In states that have rough winters it makes it much easier. I also think it’s easier for people to take vacation in the summer.

What Cool said in the above comment, May through September when the weather starts being more favorable for outdoor weddings. End of school for kids and just summer in general. I'm getting married in off peak end of October before all the major end of year holidays come around.

If you live in warmer-weather locations, there really isn't a wedding season. Additionally, venues and vendors will usually upcharge you just because you're hosting a wedding (blerg).

I have worked with brides and grooms who've gotten married in every month. In locations that can swing a cold-weather event, November-March weddings have gotten much more popular in the last 20 years or so.

However, Cool's right - May-September in the US in general is more the "height" of wedding season. Prices could rise then, but it really depends on where you live. Venue-wise, prices often do rise for Saturday/holiday weddings, they're usually "middle ground" for Friday and Sunday weddings, then lower for Monday-Thursday.

Off season is typically November through March. Peak wedding season is May-October (with June and October probably being the most popular wedding months).

We live in San Diego, CA and it’s always wedding season. LOL! The weather is just so nice year round, with very little rain. So I suppose colder areas or regions with crappy weather actually have a true season.

Like others said, it depends on your location and (kind of) type of venue. We're in the Midwest and are having an early October wedding, which would normally be getting towards off season, but since our venue is a barn Fall is one of their peak seasons.

April is also becoming another hot month for weddings.

And to add, Saturday is the most expensive and most booked day of the week.

Peak is when everyone else is planning theirs and non peak is the venues are empty. Peak depends on location. It used to be May-June everywhere. Currently it’s roughly April to October.

I'm in MD and my venue's (and many others I considered) peak season is May-November. Their off-peak Friday/Sunday rates are significantly cheaper than their peak Saturday rates - something to consider if you're trying to save money but book a venue you love!

It really varies by venue. What others have said is pretty much true, but for instance, my venue in NJ considered July off-peak but June and August as peak. No idea why, but we went with July to save some money.

Depends on your area and the specific venue as what answers you will hear. My venue considers March-November in-season and December-February as off-season. Other venues in my area extend the off-season through March. Peak season is May-October in my area. A lot of people will come to Central Virginia to see the fall colors on the Blue Ridge Mountains so October weddings are even more popular than in some other areas.

When is wedding season? It depends on where you’re getting married!

For example, wedding season in Cape Cod is May through October - but in Arizona there are two mini seasons from March-May and September-November.

Basically it just means the best time of year to get married (because of the weather), which are therefore the most in demand wedding dates. That’s why they charge more for dates in “peak wedding season”!

“Wedding season” generally refers to the most popular time of the year for weddings!

Like Jessica said, ‘when is off peak wedding season’ will depend on where you’re getting married. You can do a quick google search for “wedding season chicago” (or wherever you’re located) to see if you get any information that way, or you can use the quotes you’re getting from venues to see when they deem local peak wedding season to be!
