Hello Brides and Grooms To Be!
I’m
Ruby the Rochester Bride! As a newlywed of the Rochester area, I love
sharing my knowledge of the wedding experience with newly engaged
couples. This week I can’t wait to share with you some tips and pointers
on when to have your wedding ceremony and reception!
Most
weddings are planned for Saturday with the reception to follow. If you
are planning a Saturday wedding at a well-known reception site and/or in
a popular month (April thru November), book your wedding and reception
site as soon as possible. A good rule of thumb is to book your wedding
and reception as far as 12 to 24 months in advance.
To
increase the chance of having a weekend event, consider a Friday
evening, Sunday or Saturday afternoon wedding and reception. These days
tend to be more available with vendors.
Some
reception sites offer discounted wedding packages on these days. Some
restaurants will close down for your reception. If a Friday or Sunday
wedding is something you are interested in, check with the ceremony and
reception site of your choice to see if this is possible.
