How Couples Are Saving Big by Booking 2026 and 2027 Dates Early
If you’re newly engaged, congratulations! 🥂 One of the first (and smartest) moves you can make is locking in your wedding venue — especially if you’re planning a wedding in 2026 or 2027.
Why? Because booking early not only gives you more options, it can also save you thousands of dollars, help you get your dream date, and make the rest of the planning process smoother.
Here’s why early-bird couples are winning big when it comes to planning their weddings.
1. Lock in Today’s Prices
Wedding costs rise every year, and venues often adjust their pricing annually to reflect inflation and demand. By booking your 2026 or 2027 date now, you secure today’s rates — which can mean significant savings by the time your wedding day arrives.
For many couples, this alone can free up budget for extra décor, upgraded catering, or splurges like a live band or additional photography hours.
2. Get Your First Choice of Dates
Saturdays in May, June, September, and October are the most popular wedding dates in Oklahoma — and they’re also the first to fill up. Booking early ensures you get:
Your dream month and season
Your preferred day of the week
The ability to choose a meaningful date (like an anniversary or special number)
Couples who wait too long often end up compromising on the date, time, or even the venue itself.
3. Access to Top Vendors Before They Book Out
Once you lock in your venue date, you can immediately start booking the other vendors on your must-have list — photographers, videographers, DJs, florists.
The earlier you book:
The more likely you are to get your first-choice vendors
You avoid rush fees for last-minute bookings
You have time to plan engagement sessions, tastings, and design meetings without stress
4. More Time to Budget and Plan
When you book early, you have more time to pay for your wedding in manageable installments. Many venues, including Rose Briar Place, offer flexible payment schedules that allow couples to spread out payments over months — sometimes years — making it easier to stay on budget without feeling overwhelmed.
Plus, with your date locked in, you can enjoy a longer planning timeline, make thoughtful decisions, and avoid the frantic “everything at once” rush.
5. Peace of Mind = Less Stress
One of the biggest benefits of booking your wedding early is the peace of mind it brings. Once your venue is secured, you can relax knowing the biggest decision is behind you.
This gives you time to focus on the fun parts — choosing your dress, designing your décor, planning your honeymoon — without worrying about whether your dream venue will still be available.
