How far in advance did you book your venue?

I'm getting squeezed out of all 2006 dates. Is it normal to have a 1.5 yearish engagement???

Re: Length of Engagement

my engagment will be 10 months; we booked the hall with a little over 8 months to go (but with January, the dates are pretty much open).

Re: Length of Engagement

We stared looking for reception venue 4 months after we were engaged. We will be married 2 years and 3 months after our engagement.

Our engagement was 2.5 years! And we had a hard time finding a venue 2 years out b/c of Christmas parties, etc.

Re: Length of Engagement

Our engagement will be a year and 3 months. We booked the venue almost immediately after getting engaged because after looking a little bit we were seeing the dates fill up.

Re: Length of Engagement

We were engaged for 18 months. We didn't do any planning at all for the first 6 months.

We originally planned to get married in June but when we went to book a year out all the June dates were gone. Which is how we ended up getting married the first weekend in July.

Re: Length of Engagement

By the time of my wedding I would be engaged for 1yr and 11months, so I had about 2yrs of planning. I booked my reception hall as soon as I got engaged because i had my date picked out and did not want to lose out.

Re: Length of Engagement

By the time i get married i'll be engaged for exactly 18 months. FH proposed on Christmas Day and we booked our hall for 7/7/07. We were originally thinking of doing a spring '08 wedding but we didn't want to wait that long

Re: Length of Engagement

Exactly one year for me, but I wanted a summer wedding (I'm a guidance counselor), so it worked out well.

Re: Length of Engagement

We will be engaged for 1 year and 7 days when we get married. The average is 1-2 years. We didn't want to wait 2 years though so we decided to only wait a year.
