We conducted a poll this year of 250 wedding couples to find out where they’ve chosen to get married in 2023.
In recent years, BookingMyWedding.com’s polling has shown an uptick in wedding couples renting outdoor wedding venues, like barns, farms, wineries, and vineyards, for their special day.
Where couples say they plan on getting married in 2023:
35% Banquet Halls/Restaurants
18% Barns, Farms & Ranches
15% Wineries & Vineyards
10% Golf/Country Club
9% Resorts & Destination Weddings
7% Historic Homes and Buildings
6% Other
According to a recent poll, 80% of all weddings used to take place between May to October, with the most popular wedding months being June, August, and October. However, after the height of the pandemic, wedding venues are seeing the “busy season,” all year long. Historically, the wedding off-season was considered to be the months January-March.
“The cost of wedding venues has risen in 2023 and years to come, mostly due to the demand for venues. Many people are either rebooking their wedding date because of Covid, or getting married to the one they fell in love with while quarantined. Wedding venues are still booking years out in advance, with even the traditional off-season wedding months now booked up.” Explains Scott Michaels of BookingMyWedding.com.
