    We booked our venue exactly one month prior to getting engaged, so 14 months prior to the wedding!

    We were looking to book a year or year and half away, but the venue had an opening in 9 months so we took that date.

    9 months. I didn't really need to book it though as it is my uncle's place.

    About a year and a half in advance.
    We did later on change the ceremony location, I think that was probably about 10 months in advance

    We booked just about just under 2 years in advance. Super lucky we did because at the beginning of the year they announced that 2020 is not only fully booked but also their last year of service! 2019 booked up before the beginning of the year so I'm so glad we did it when we did and got the date that we wanted!

    1.5 years in advance because it would have been too challenging to get the wedding together in 5.5 months.

    Just shy of one year. We went to see it on the equivalent Saturday (Jan 20, 2018/Jan 19, 2019)... and picked it/signed the contract that week.

    My fiancé and I booked our wedding venue a few months after getting engaged, so over a year before our wedding.

    We booked our venue 1 year and 10 months in advance. We did it quite early so I could let people in England know the date so they could potentially fly out.

    I actually only booked my venue a few weeks ago...6 and a half months before the date we selected! We of course had to adjust our date due to their availability but we just HAD to get married there.

    We officially booked the venue a year and 8 months out, but knew we wanted the venue at a year and 10 months out.

    The venue is sentimental to our family and has a killer ceremony location. They also have an all-inclusive package so there was less things to worry about. We didn't want our date to be booked up so we booked ASAP!

    We booked our venue May 2018, for our wedding in June 2019. So about a year from officially setting the date!

    We weren’t engaged yet when we booked our venue. We booked the venue a year in advance and got the last Saturday of the summer!

    It was the first thing we booked (along side our ceremony location) - within 2 months of being engaged (so 18 months before the wedding).

    Booked our venue about a year in advance. We had it reserved and had right of refusal thinking we’d have a couple of months before having to pay a deposit. Then about 2 weeks after we visited our coordinator gave us notice that they had another interested party and we’d have 7 days to book or we’d lose the space.

    We booked 1 year and 8 months!
    We visited the venue during the holidays, while we were in town, and booked upon our return.

    We booked at a year and 6 months!

    As soon as we were engaged, I started looking at venues and narrowing down. After visiting my top 2 week booked as soon as possible to get the date that we wanted.
