Goodbye, Wedding Season

As October draws to a close, so does the "wedding season." The months ahead are traditionally the slow months for those of us in the wedding industry.

According to a survey conducted by The Wedding Report, nearly three-quarters  of weddings (73.5%) take place in the six months from May to October. Only one in four weddings (26.5%) occur during the other six months.

In recent years, September and October have surpassed May and June as the peak wedding months, according to The Wedding Report.

The least popular months for weddings? January and February, followed by December and March.

One take-away for brides: If you're budget conscious but still want to hire the best quality vendors, schedule your wedding in the off-season, when many wedding vendors offer their services at off-peak discount rates.
