## When Should You Book Your Tennessee Venue?

Most Tennessee couples book their venues 10 months ahead; about 318 days before the big day. You'll want to note that October sees the highest number of wedding inquiries which reveals strong demand for fall ceremonies.

Planning ahead is especially important if you're dreaming of a fall wedding.
