Once you and your groom have chosen a date, it’s best to reserve your reception site immediately, even if it’s one to two years in advance. With this done, you will have alleviated a lot of stress for yourself. The particular details of your reception can be done later, but getting the place and date you want is now accomplished! Realize that many venues require a small deposit to hold the date. Check with your venue events coordinator about this when you call.
