What is the Most Popular Wedding Date?

Follow us on:

The most popular wedding date of 2022 may surprise you. It is not in the summer, and it actually just passed. 

The most popular wedding date of 2022 is ... Oct. 22!

According to The Knot Real Weddings Study, about 90,000 U.S. couples married on this day in 2022. Addionally, October contains three of the top five most popular wedding dates of 2022, and 17% of all engaged couples married that month, The Knot reports. 

The top five wedding dates in 2022 were:

  1. Oct. 22, 2022
  2. May 21, 2022
  3. June 18, 2022
  4. Oct. 01, 2022
  5. Oct. 08, 2022

Comparatively, the top five dates in 2022 were almost all in October:

  1. Oct. 16, 2021
  2. Oct. 23, 2021
  3. Oct. 2, 2021
  4. Oct. 9, 2021
  5. Sept. 25, 2021 (so close!)

So why is October so popular?

In recent months, it is most likely due to the pandemic, according to The Knot. 

“Case rates were relatively low, many people were vaccinated and outdoor weddings were possible,” The Knot says.

However, fall has been the most popular season since 2015.

“The preference for fall weddings may have something to do with the cooler, less-humid weather, making outdoor wedding venues that much more comfortable, as well as the popularity of fall foliage as a wedding photo backdrop,” The Knot reports. “Unlike the other seasons, fall also consists of fewer vacations, holidays and events, meaning fewer conflict opportunities for loved ones And because spring and summer are often thought of as peak season for travel and events, some venues and vendors may offer lower pricing later in October.”

Reviews

Check out the glowing reviews from some of our favorite clients below! Their kind words mean the world to us and inspire everything we do.

They were very thorough in making sure our day looked how we wanted it to. On the actual wedding day, they kept our reception lively and on time! They were able to read the crowd well and with our recommendations in mind. I was so worried our wedding would have an empty dancefloor considering the big age range and being hard to appeal to lots of generations, but th did so seamlessly. After a lot of shopping around during wedding planning, I believe the price of their services is of good value. As an add-on, I also opted to do uplighting. This was battery powered and had dynamic color-changing. The battery powered part is important for older venues that may not have as many outlets, and also avoids the trip hazard of too many wires on the floor. All and all 10/10 experience. Thank you!

We cannot recommend SPE enough!!! From the planning to the actual day of the wedding the  team were so professional and wonderful. We did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos with Cufflink Media and they did a great job with taking her time to understand what we wanted as a couple for the photos. All the photographers and videographers for the day of the wedding were great with communicating throughout the whole day both with eachother and us. The djs had the dance floor rocking all night!!! He knew how to get everyone out there of all ages. The price for what we got was very reasonable. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone getting married you will not be disappointed! Thank you to all!!!!  Love,  The Gontarzes 🙂

F.A.Q.

Do you offer Photo & Video?

Absolutely! While our DJs are pretty talented, we’ve learned it’s probably best if they stick to mixing music instead of trying to balance a camera while running the dance floor. 😅

For photo & video, we proudly partner with Cufflink Media — an incredible team that shares the same energy, professionalism, and attention to detail that we’re known for. Together, we help create a seamless wedding experience so your biggest moments not only feel unforgettable in the moment, but look incredible for years to come.

Do you work with other vendors?

Yes! While we have partnerships with Cufflink Media, we do not require you use them exclusively. You can always book us independently and we’ll ensure that all vendors are on the same page throughout the entire planning process and evening.

How do I secure my date?

We ask that when you are ready to book, you give us a signed contract and a $800 deposit. The initial deposit comes off the final balance. After that, you are locked in to your date. Payment plans are available, but we do not require the final balance until a week before your wedding.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. All prices you see include tax, set-up & tear-down, and travel to most places. When paying with credit card there is a 3.8% convenience fee. No fees when paying by check or cash.
