Specific lead time will vary from venue to venue but most couples will book a date 10-20 months in advance. Longer lead times are required for busier times of the year (Warmer months) and busier days of the week (Thursday-Saturday). It never hurts however to reach out and and query availability if you are flexible on dates.
