Book wedding and reception location early

If it's high season (May through mid-October) in the South Sound, often the professionals are already booked, and you run the risk of not getting the professional that you want.

Bottom line: Book wedding professionals early!

During high season, it's best to book nine to 12 months in advance. Other times of the year, six months advance notice is best.

When you ask a wedding professional for a proposal or cost estimate, they generally spend several hours on it. When you choose your professional, please call the others to let them know you have chosen another wedding professional.
