Which came first? Venue or Wedding Date?

My date came first! My date is Oct 3 and that is my great grandpa’s birthday! He does when I was a little girl and I was his princess so it felt right to do it that day❤️

Venue came first

We had a month picked out (October) and picked one of the available weekends the venue we loved had open.

My dream wedding date came first, then my venue! My dream wedding is in October (the best time of year)!

Wedding date, venue had the date open still (:

Definitely an answer that will depend on every couple! Ultimately we had the date before the venue, but it came more from a narrowing down process (we want to get married in spring....far enough away from major holidays and birthdays....etc) but we agreed beforehand that if we found our dream venue that we would be willing to change the date if needed.

Luckily, the dream venue was available on the date we had in mind!

Season then venue, we pick our date based on what they had open next fall.

We originally wanted a specific date but most venues are crazy booked in 2020! I think we're going to end up going with a date that our favorite venue has available Haven't booked yet, but almost ready to pull the trigger.

We selected our date first then we ended up changing venue, but it is all working out! 😊

We picked our date first then the venue. But our venue changed hands and is newly remodeled and opened again this year so the first week they opened we put down our deposit, no problem.

Venue. But we had two months in mind of what our date would be.

Wedding date first and I was willing to change it if not available but it was available for the venue I picked!!

Venue did!

Date first, no reason really. Just needed a time frame to plan for & then asked venues for availability.. luckily the one we went and looked at had that date open so it was perfect!

Wedding date and church came first.

We started out trying to pick a date first. We quickly realized that was not the way to go as we changed our date 3-4 times before we found a venue. We decided after a few tours to just fall in love with a venue and be open minded about dates. That worked out MUCH better! Way less stressful!

Wedding date came first. I could care less about the venue.

The date.
My photographer was the first thing I booked. That's the date she gave us. We took it and ran.

Venue! I had the venue picked out before I even met him and we made a “you can do this if I can have this” deal that got him to agree with the venue. We still went to tour the venue together (still befor a date was set) to kinda set in stone our feelings about the venue. I still adored it as I had since I was 6 years old and it made the wedding that much more real for him. We booked a year later when we FINALLY set our date.

Venue then date. Mainly because of availability in Southern California.
