Choosing the perfect wedding date requires a bit of luck, intuition, and research! While a fun easy-to-remember date may be ideal, the time of year and availability of family or vendors might not work. Here are a few things to consider before choosing your wedding date.
Popular Dates & Months
It’s good to educate yourself on the popular wedding dates and months in the Knoxville area ahead of time. If you want a wedding on that day or during that time, you know to plan well in advance. This will allow you to still have a great selection of vendors and wedding locations open.
The busiest month to get married is in October. This has stood true nationwide since 2016! People love hosting their wedding ceremony outdoors (nearly 50% and rising!), and the semi-cool weather in the fall helps make this doable. September has been the next top wedding month, putting the autumn season at the top as the most popular season for couples to get married.
Here are a few popular weekend wedding dates that would be memorable (and fun) for an anniversary!

Consider Your Season
With fall being the busiest time of year for weddings, you can expect limited availability if you’re reserving vendors within 12 months, and sometimes even slightly higher prices. The wintertime is quite the opposite. Winter is the slowest time for weddings (busiest for engagements though!), therefore you will have better availability and pricing from wedding vendors.
Budget-Friendly Days To Get Married
It may be a given that choosing a day besides a Saturday is going to be better for your budget. However, many venues will also discount during slower months as well. In short, your budget-friendly days to get married will be during the slower season, or on Sunday (potentially excluding the Sunday before long weekend like Labor Day or Memorial Day).
Reserve Your Date
If you’ve made it here, you have the research aspect down, now just don’t forget to follow your intuition when choosing which date feels best for you and your partner, and lock that date in with your venues first!
