Planning Tip: Niagara's most popular venues book 18 to 24 months in advance for summer dates (June–September). If you have a specific venue in mind, contact them as soon as your date is set. Shoulder season (May, October) often offers the same venues at 15–25% lower pricing — and Niagara's fall foliage makes October weddings genuinely stunning.
