Touring This Summer? Here's Why Your Date Won't Wait

Touring This Summer? Here's Why Your Date Won't Wait

Right now, in the middle of summer, we're booking weddings and events across an unusually wide window: fall 2026, all of 2027, and into spring 2028. If you toured this month and you're still deciding, here's the one thing worth understanding before you wait.

 

Your date is the deadline, not the price

Our rental rates don't move based on when you sign. A Saturday in October 2027 costs the same whether you book it in July or in December, the rate is tied to the event date, not your booking date. So waiting doesn't cost you money on the date you already have your eye on.

 

It can cost you the date itself.

 

We only have one Saturday in any given month, one specific weekend in the season you're picturing. With events already on the books close to two years out, the dates people want most, particular Saturdays, holiday weekends, peak-season weekends, go first. If you're set on a date or a narrow window, that's the actual constraint you're working against.

 

What does change: which year you land in

Rental pricing is set by event year, not booking date:

 

Friday: $2,750 + tax for 2026-2027, $2,995 + tax for 2028

Saturday: $2,995 + tax for 2026-2027, $3,600 + tax for 2028

Sunday: $2,200 + tax for 2026-2027, $2,200 + tax for 2028

 

If you're flexible between a 2027 date and a 2028 date, that's worth knowing. But if your heart is set on a specific spring 2028 weekend, the math isn't "book now for a discount," it's "book now so that weekend is still open when you're ready to sign."

 

The takeaway

If you have a date in mind: tour, decide, and lock it in. The price on that date isn't going anywhere, but the date itself might.

 

If you're flexible on year and want to compare 2027 versus 2028 pricing, reach out and we'll walk you through it.
