For newly engaged couples, figuring out just the perfect time to have your wedding is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. But there’s another factor that will impact when you decide to set your wedding date, and that’s touring wedding venues. Once you start reaching out to venues, you learn more about schedules, availability, accommodations, and services provided, all of which will impact not only the date of your wedding but also how you plan for it.
When is the best time to tour wedding venues? Without question, spring is the best time of year to tour wedding venues. You’ve made it through the chaotic, busy holiday season, and you’re not yet into the months of summer where vacations, barbecues, and pool parties beckon. Which means you have plenty of time to drive out to wedding venues and explore all they have to offer.
Here are a few other reasons the team at Legacy Stables & Events recommends scheduling your wedding venue tours in the spring months.
- The Weather! It’s really just that simple. Not too hot, not too cold. And here in the Triad region of North Carolina, spring isn’t as humid as summer, so it’s pretty comfortable being outside even on the warmer days. We have a large estate, so having good weather to tour makes it that much nicer to see it all.
- You get to see the venue in full bloom. This is especially important if you’re planning to have a spring wedding and are looking for a venue a year out, like most wedding planners recommend. You’ll have the chance to experience the lighting and how it will work for photos, as well as get a good feel for places for photography backdrops. And best of all, while our estate is beautiful year-round, the azaleas and spring-flowering bulbs at Legacy Stables & Events are stunning. It really is a time when our property shines.
- Spring is the sweet spot for wedding planning. For engaged couples planning a wedding later in the year, touring in the spring gives you time to set a date and still have lots of options with vendors before they get booked up.
- Flexibility with tour times. The early spring isn’t as busy for weddings as late spring and early summer. So there are more options available for when our staff can take the time to really show you around and give you a good feel for all there is to offer at Legacy Stables & Events.
If you’re in the beginning stages of wedding planning and starting to look for a venue and pick a date, spring is the perfect time for tours. Get the most out of your visit by coming prepared with a list of questions to ask. We’re here to answer everything, plus the things you haven’t thought of.
