If you know your dream date then perfect this is a great start! However do still pick a couple of back up dates near to it (or let the venues know you’re flexible) in case they don’t have the availability on it.

If you’ve not got a specific date in mind then don’t panic but do narrow it down a bit by considering things such as: year/ month/ day/ on or off peak
