About 2.5 million couples nationwide were expected to get married in 2022, according to the Wedding Report. Show
COLORADO, USA — This year was projected to be the busiest season for weddings in decades. Vendors in Colorado are slammed this summer, and they think 2023 will be just as crazy. At Bigsby's Folly Craft Winery & Restaurant in RiNo, weddings have been renting out the front of the house most weekends. "It has really been nonstop since May," Bigsby's cofounder Marla Yetka said. "It really kicked up starting in early August. Every weekend we have had multiple events." Yetka said her event director has 40 to 50 weddings on the calendar this year. They will host both the ceremony and reception for 25% of them. The venue is still seeing couples who had to postpone their weddings in 2020. Two years after the pandemic began, 2.5 million couples were expected to tie the knot in 2022 – the most in four decades, according to the Wedding Report. Yetka agreed this was her busiest year yet. Bigsby's offers full catering, but some venues don't. After couples book the venue, their next call is typically a caterer.  "We are back to events on Wednesday this week. We have 16 more the rest of the month," said Andrea Uzarowski with Fresh Food Further in Boulder. Uzarowski said they have events on the books through June. She thinks next year will be just as hectic as this one. "People feel more comfortable," she said. "Celebrations are back at full force." The schedules are fuller than two years ago. Couples are booking spots a year in advance to get the date they want. Yetka at Bigsby's said a break from multiple weddings a weekend doesn't seem to be coming soon. "We are excited to see what the next year has to offer," she said.

It could be a public holiday, which can mean a spike in costs, or it could be a personally significant day that you need to keep free. If you’re hosting your wedding during a big sporting event, you might find guests' attention split between you and the match. If you do decide to book your wedding around a bank holiday (and it can be a seriously smart idea!), you need to be aware that they can be moved. The UK Government have just announced an extra bank holiday in 2023 to celebrate King Charles' Coronation; we'll now all be able to enjoy a third long weekend in May! If you're in the process of booking your wedding venue, make sure you check out the wedding dates to avoid to ensure you don't have any unfortunate clashes. We’ve put together a list of UK wedding dates in 2023, 2024 and 2025 that you might want to avoid when planning your big day. Friday the 13th DaysIf you’re superstitious, you might want to avoid any Friday the 13th dates too. There’s nothing to say that getting married on Friday the 13th is actually unlucky, but if you’re someone who’s particularly superstitious, here are all the Friday the 13th dates within the next four years.

Guests were watching the match secretly on their phones as the couple walked down the aisle, sneaking out the reception to get a score update, and even pulling a last-minute sickie! It’s important to know if your potential wedding date could clash with any big sporting events. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t hold your wedding during these dates (many are prime summer Saturdays, after all), but it’s worth bearing in mind you might need to arrange some screening opportunities for sporting fans.

Locally Significant DaysIt’s also worth noting things that are being planned in your local area, or the area you’re planning on getting married in. Does the town have an annual festival or carnival that might be worth avoiding? If you’re unsure and want to be on the safe side, contact the local council – they should be able to notify you of anything within the local area that is big enough to cause disruption to your wedding plans.

UK Public Holiday DatesSome couples will aim to hold their wedding on a public holiday, for example, the August bank holiday is annually one of the most popular weekends for couples to get married. These public dates, however, can come at a cost and it’s possible your guests may have already booked to go away far in advance. If you’re planning to steer clear of public holidays, here’s a list of all the 2023, 2024 and 2025 UK wedding dates you might want to avoid when booking your special day. For events such as the King and Queen Consort's coronation, you might want to lean into the theme - we're thinking crowns and thrones for you both, a wedding reception game where you drink anytime someone mentions the King and perhaps a screen area for people who want to view the historic moment.
