It’s recommended to book your venue at least 3 to 6 months in advance, particularly if you're aiming for popular venues like those in Downtown San Antonio or during peak months such as spring or fall. Larger venues with higher capacities, such as Tandem in Riverside, often book up quickly, so it's essential to secure your spot early. Local events and festivals, such as the Fiesta San Antonio in April or the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo in February, can also significantly impact venue availability and pricing. Planning ahead will help you avoid conflicts.
