As a result, there is a substantial increase in the demand for venues and wedding professionals. Our advice is to start planning as soon as you can, as the most sought-after vendors are likely to be booked quickly.

Proposal Season:
Out of the ten most popular days to propose, seven take place in December, with the average engagement lasting 15 months. The "engagement season" typically spans from Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day.
