Planning a Wedding

So many couples are in the middle of this big wedding boom and are wondering how to plan a wedding in 2022 and beyond. Whether you just got engaged or are working on a postponed timeline, we have the advice you need to plan it right. Most couples plan their wedding over the course of a year to a year and a half. This is usually a safe timeline for planning. However, the demand is shifting and so is the timeline. We surveyed wedding planners to find out what has changed and to share the secrets to planning a wedding in 2022 and beyond.


Booking the Venue


The venue is the first step to planning. All of decisions about your location, colors, theme, date and time are locked down at the venue. Whether you are traveling for a destination wedding of your dreams or planning the dream wedding on an adventure in the next town, the venue is where the magic begins. Due to postponements and a shift in current trends, we are currently in the biggest wedding boom. According to wedding planners, if you are planning a wedding in 2022 or 2023, book your wedding venue early. When you find that picturesque backdrop in the romantic setting of your dreams, book it. Do not hesitate or you will risk losing the date. The venue is not the only shift in the timeline.

Planning a Wedding with Vendors


After you book your venue, you should start putting the fine details together, such as the dress, entertainment, cake, catering and invitations. Just as with the venue, do not hesitate to find the dress and book your vendor team. The best vendors book quickly. Your wedding venue will probably have connections with vendors that can offer you the best rates. Before searching directories, communicate with your venue about planning with vendors.

Best Catering Advice


The catering is one of the most important decisions you will make about your wedding day. The food experience will define your celebration, since the event revolves around food. You will have a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres and appetizers, create a presentation with the cuisine, have impressive cake art on display, and probably have a candy bar or edible favors. Quality catering companies with a reputation will fill their calendar quickly. Do not hesitate to explore a tasting and plan your catering. If possible, choose a wedding venue with a catering connection that can accommodate the fine dining experience and the luxurious space.

Wedding Website


Building a wedding website is a modern trend and a smart decision. Always keep your guests in the loop of planning. It is a good way to provide information to all your guests about the date, time and location. It is also a good way to communicate with the wedding party about important wedding planning events, travel updates and hotel information. A wedding website is a space to live stream your wedding day and include special people that might not be able to attend.


Let the Professionals Help


You might be planning a wedding in 2022, but that doesn’t mean you should have the stress of planning. This is an exciting process that involves creating happy memories with your partner, family and close friends. Avoid the stress of it all and let the professionals help.

Be Flexible when Planning a Wedding in 2022


There are advantages to a weekday wedding. A weekday wedding can provide pretty attractive savings that can make it beyond worth it. Surveys suggest that most wedding venues have significantly reduced rates during the week. Wedding vendors can also provide additional savings on weekdays. This means your photography might be cheaper and your entertainment could cost you less. The reasoning could be associated with availability, since there are more weekdays than weekend days. This can give you more savings and more options for planning a wedding in 2022.
