Tips to Choose the Perfect Wedding Date
Choosing your wedding date in Southeastern Wisconsin is one of the first—and most exciting—decisions you’ll make when planning your special day. It sets the tone for your entire celebration and impacts everything from venue availability to guest attendance. Here's how to pick a wedding date that feels just right for you and your partner:
1. Consider Meaningful Dates
Start by thinking about dates that are significant to your relationship: your anniversary, the day you first met, or a special milestone. Getting married on a meaningful date can add an extra layer of sentiment to your celebration.
2. Think Seasonally
Do you envision a cozy winter wedding, a sunny summer celebration, or a colorful fall ceremony? The season can influence everything—your venue, color scheme, dress style, and even your budget. Peak wedding season at Terrace 167 (May through October) is beautiful but more expensive. Terrace 167’s offseason months (November through April) are less expensive.
3. Check Venue and Vendor Availability
If you have your heart set on a specific venue or vendor, check their availability early. You may need to be flexible with your date if they book up quickly, especially for weekend weddings. Terrace 167 offers weddings any day of the week!
4. Give Yourself Enough Planning Time
If you're dreaming of a big wedding, make sure you choose a date far enough out to comfortably plan, book vendors, and allow guests to prepare—especially if many will be traveling. You don’t want to be stressed with limited planning prep time!
5. Ask Key Guests
If there are certain people you can’t imagine your day without, like close friends or family members, it’s okay to check in with them before locking in a date. A quick chat can save heartache later if they have a major conflict.
Ultimately, the perfect wedding date is one that feels right to you and your partner. Whether it's a sentimental anniversary or simply a weekend that works for your loved ones, what matters most is the love you're celebrating. Reach out to us to get our availability! Happy wedding planning!
