Money Monday: Off Season Weddings

In this week’s Money Monday, we’re talking about off-season weddings! The most popular time to tie the knot is between September and October. June or a summer wedding are still contenders for the most popular wedding season, but in recent years fall has become more desired. This means that prices during the “wedding season” will be inflated because so many couples are requesting weddings during that time. We suggest booking your wedding in the off-season for a significant price cut in your budget. Here are a few reasons why an off-season wedding is ideal for you and your budget!

Discounted Wedding

The off-season for weddings is between January and March. During this time, it is typically cheaper to book a venue and other vendors. Look into the venues you are interested in for your wedding and what their price discrepancy is based on the wedding seasons. There are usually more discounts offered during those three months or at the very least there is more room for discount negotiation when booking a venue.

Cheaper Honeymoon

January through March is the off-season for weddings, but also resorts. So not only will you get a price cut on your wedding budget, but you can also get your destination honeymoon for a fraction of the price. Take advantage of the lowered honeymoon rates and plan the honeymoon of your dreams where you can enjoy your time away without the bustle of hundreds of other couples on their honeymoon or families on vacation.

Less Competition

With most couples vying for a wedding date in the fall, you will have less competition for vendors during the off-season. Your targeted wedding date or favorite photographer is more likely to be available. This will make your wedding so much easier to plan, as you can avoid any rescheduling or searching for alternative vendors.
