Sure, you can (and should) go into a venue with a listing of dates that don\u2019t work for you, but it\u2019s much easier to find an open date within a specific season at your dream venue rather than one specific date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff99cc;\"><strong>Bonus insight:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><em>If you don\u2019t mind an indoor wedding and possibly having to deal with snow, weddings booked for January through March in Indiana are often majorly discounted in various vendor areas due to it being slow season. Have your heart set on October, September, April or June? You could be looking at some of the highest fees! Oh, and don\u2019t even think about Indianapolis 500 weekend. Just don\u2019t.
