We recommend booking your venue at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you are planning the party for a popular time of year or on a weekend. Popular DC venues can get booked quickly, so the earlier you start looking, the more options you will have. For very sought-after locations or during peak seasons (like spring and fall), consider booking even earlier—up to a year in advance—to ensure you secure your preferred venue.
