So, what does this mean for wedding suppliers?
First and foremost, take your holidays in June and December! These are the least popular times for weddings, so these are the key months to enjoy a well-deserved break.
Additionally, keep in mind that January will be your biggest month for enquiries in the whole year. So, although it isn’t a popular month for weddings, this is when the enquiries will start rolling in. Make sure you are prepared for an influx of enquiries in January.
