PLANNING A WEDDING IN A POST CORONA WORLD - BOOKING A WEDDING VENUE.png — If you haven’t booked a wedding venue as yet, you should jump on it right away. What’s the rush you ask?

Because many 2020 couples will be 2021 couples. They had to postpone their weddings and some have chosen to push back a whole year. This means availability will be limited. So if you have a date, month, or season in mind you need to check on your venue’s availability.

How do you book when businesses are closed?

Here’s how:

Venues are doing virtual tours and some may even conduct one on one tours. Please remember you are supposed to be safe at home.
Your planner (which you should hire one) can give you recommendations based on your preferences.

ProTip – Be open to other days of the week. Don’t think for a minute that your Wednesday wedding won’t be as LIT as a Saturday wedding.
