You should aim to book the wedding reception venue at the very least about 6 months in advance. Most couples tend to rent the space even a year or two before the wedding in order not to miss out on booking their favourite venue. Remember that the earlier you book, the more likely you are to get a better offer, experience less stress and feel more prepared and organised. Happy booking!
