The Spring Vendor Rush: Why Now is Your Golden Moment to Secure Wedding Dream Teams

There’s no denying it—spring has arrived, and with it comes that magical window of opportunity for engaged couples. I notice it every year: the perfect moment to secure your dream wedding team before they’re completely booked.

They say timing is everything in love. The same is true for wedding planning.

Every time I sit down with a couple who’s waited until summer to start booking vendors, I see that look of surprise when they discover their top choices are already committed. Truly, it breaks my heart when I can’t connect them with that photographer whose style they’ve been swooning over for months.

Spring isn’t just about fresh blooms and warmer days—it’s the golden hour for wedding planning. Here’s why:

Vendor Availability is at its Peak

December through February brings a flurry of engagements, but many newly-engaged couples are still basking in the joy before diving into planning. This creates a sweet spot in spring where vendors have finished their winter booking surge but haven’t yet filled their calendars for the following year.

I’ve seen it firsthand—waiting just a few weeks can mean the difference between “Yes, we’re available!” and “We’re so sorry, we’re already booked.”

You’ll Have the Luxury of Choice

When you book in spring, you’re not settling—you’re selecting. From your dream venue to that incredible caterer everyone raves about, spring bookings mean options are still open.

This isn’t about rushing decisions. It’s about giving yourself the gift of possibilities.

The Best Vendors Fill Their Calendars Early

Here’s something personal I’ve noticed after years in this industry: the most sought-after vendors—those magical photographers who capture moments you didn’t even know were happening, those florists who seem to read your mind—they’re typically booked 12-18 months in advance.

Spring is your window to connect with these artists before their schedules are completely full.

You’ll Secure Better Pricing

Many vendors adjust their pricing annually, often in late summer or fall. Booking in spring typically means locking in current rates before any increases.

Sound too good to be true? It’s simply the rhythm of our industry, and I love being able to share these insider tips with you.

Peace of Mind is Priceless

Every time someone secures their vendor team early, I notice how their entire planning experience transforms. Rather than scrambling and compromising, they can focus on the creative, fun aspects of planning their celebration.

They say wedding planning shouldn’t be stressful, and with the right timing, it truly doesn’t have to be.
