For small or less formal events, it's advisable to book your desired venue at least three months in advance, especially for popular venues and peak times. For larger events, such as weddings or corporate functions, booking at least 12 to 24 months ahead is recommended to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Busy times in Edinburgh include the summer months, particularly during the Fringe Festival in August, as well as around Christmas and New Year. Additionally, weekends and public holidays tend to be in high demand, so planning ahead is essential to secure your preferred venue.
