Why you should beat the 2025 wedding boom and book your venue now!

2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for weddings, and if you’re currently dreaming up your own wedding day, you’re in good company!  

With engagement ring sales on the rise, wedding experts are predicting an unprecedented rush to the altar. So, what does that mean for you and your special day? Simply put: now is the perfect time to book your wedding venue before the rush truly begins. 

But don’t panic—there’s still time to secure that dream venue for your big day. And, with many of our wonderful venues offering some fantastic deals for 2025 weddings, you could book your wedding and save money in the process! Win-win, right?!

So, why are we expecting so many engagements?

It’s not just a feeling in the air; numbers don’t lie. Several factors point to a bumper crop of engagements in the coming months. Let’s take a look at what’s happening: 

  • Engagement ring sales are soaring: Jewellers have reported a noticeable increase in engagement ring sales this year, which can only mean one thing—lots of proposals are on the horizon! 
  • Engagement season is upon us: Statistically, most engagements happen during the festive season. Think Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and of course, Valentine’s Day. It’s a magical time of year, full of love and joy, and many couples use this as the perfect moment to pop the question. 
  • The ‘two-to-three-year rule’: According to relationship experts, many couples get engaged around two to three years into their relationship. After the pandemic slowed down dating for many in 2020 and 2021, things returned to normal by late 2021 and throughout 2022. That means now is when those couples are hitting that sweet spot for engagements! 

With all these newly engaged couples soon scrambling to find the perfect venue for their 2025 weddings, it’s easy to see how venues are going to get booked up fast. If you want to beat the rush and snag your dream venue, now is the time to act!

Saving money on venue hire or catering costs means you can splurge elsewhere, or maybe invite a few extra people along to celebrate with you.  

Plus, wedding venues aren’t the only ones offering deals and savings for 2025. Many of your other suppliers will be looking to fill spots in their calendars and will likely have some fantastic pricing options on offer.

Luck is on your side 

If you’re a couple who loves to consider the stars, numerology, or ancient wisdom when planning your wedding, then 2025 could be your year of magic.

The year of the snake

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the year of the Snake. While snakes sometimes get a bad rap, in this case, it’s all about wisdom and transformation—two wonderful qualities to bring into a marriage. The snake symbolises deep reflection, personal growth, and transformation, which are all key in a lasting relationship.

The power of numbers

In numerology, 25 is seen as a powerful number for personal development and spiritual awakening. The combination of 2 and 5 encourages cooperation, adaptability, and harmony—perfect for a couple starting their married life together. 

So, whether you’re a believer in astrology or numerology, or you just like the idea of a little extra luck on your side, 2025 is shaping up to be an auspicious year to tie the knot!
