I am tackling the question: Should you plan your wedding for 2023 or 2024? If you are feeling panicked and that you have to book your wedding vendors right away OR you feel like you want to just wait until 2024 to make sure you don’t have to stress, this post is for you.

Whether you’re newly engaged or have been engaged a while, I’m going to share with you exactly which vendors you should book first, and what a realistic timeline looks like for weddings in 2023. There has been a lot of uncertainty and a LOT of noise over the past couple of years so hopefully, I can set the record straight and make jumping into the post-COVID world of weddings a little more exciting and less intimidating.
