How Far in Advance Should You Book a Wedding Planner?

The right time to hire, what changes by season, and what to do on a short timeline.

The short answer

Book a planner before you book a venue. The venue decision shapes the budget, the guest count and the design, and it is the hardest decision to reverse.

Seasonality in El Paso

Spring and fall weekends book earliest here. If you want an October Saturday, twelve to eighteen months ahead is realistic for both venues and planners.
