How far in advance should I book the wedding venue?

This can vary, earlier than later is recommended, but if it is last minute make sure you reach out to the venues you are interested in, you never know if they've had cancellations or changes to their bookings too! 

You can book the venue any time if the date is available. The critical questions is if your date is available when youre ready to book. I recommend booking as soon as you decide on the date and the venue.  

Hi there,

I  reccommend atleast 18-24 months in advance to secure your venue. 

Booking early will give you the best chance get your specified date in peak wedding season.

Congratulations on your engagement, that is super exciting! We can plan your wedding in 4 weeks, however we do find most couples will book 12-18 months in advance. Did you have a date in mind?

Hi, to ensure availability on your preffered date, best to book in as early as possible to avoid dissapointment.

Great Question! 

Parkwood Weddings  are currently only accepting wedding bookings for 2025 and 2026 . We would never normally book more than 2 years in advance as prices can change with cpi increases to Food and Beverage as well our our amazing suppliers with work within our packages also may review and increase their prices eg.Accomodation Cost , Transport, Florists etc......

Please note peak season is normally March  - May and September  - October these are usually the dates that sell out first . January, February ( Storm Season) and June & July ( Winter) are off peak. Although I LOVE winter time on the Gold Coast as to be honest there is normally less chance of rain and its so nice and cool  men are wearing full suits.

If you do have a particular date in mind eg. 26.06.2026 ( You might love the numbers ) . You wont be alone as alot of couples are drawn to dates like this as it might be easy to remember , like it for numerology etc...I think I have heard everything under the Sun. 

Also every couple is different  some are so excited after getting engaged they want to plan and organise everything straight away ( 1.5  - 2 years ahead) . Other Couples are cruisy and book a venue from 3 months  - 1 year ( We cant guarantee the oriignal date you want will be available but if they are cruisey they will probably change the desired date. 

Advice to you  - Find the Venues you are interested in and send them an email  - They will let you know if they can accept the booking .

Hope this helped ....Congratulations and Happy Wedding Planning ! 

Kind Regards,

 It depends on the time of year.  If you are hoping for the most popular months (March and December) then 18 months to 2 years minimum.  If you are looking for off season or mid-week then you have many more options and some weekends are still available 6 months out. 

Congratulations on your engagement! Your wedding planning should be fun and stress free so if you have a desired date in mind its a great idea to get this booked in as soon as possible (we suggest a minimum 6months in advance). That way you can spend the rest of your time arranging the finer details without the added pressure of securing a venue.

Hi There, 

Depending on time of year you are looking to have your wedding, we recommend booking your wedding 12-18months in advance. 

Good Luck with your wedding plans! 

Warm Regards,

We recommend booking your Venue as soon as you know your Wedding date. This will avoid disappointment if someone books before you.
