Wedding date countdown
Most UK couples plan their wedding over 12–14 months. Book your venue 12 or more months out and your photographer 10–12 months out; send save-the-dates around 8 months, and remember you must give notice at your local register office at least 29 days before the ceremony.
Enter your wedding date below and the countdown shows exactly how many days and weeks remain — and the latest date each booking milestone should be done by.
Popular venues and photographers book out 12–18 months ahead for peak Saturday dates, so the order matters: date and venue first, everything else follows.
