If you live in a city like Washington DC, a marathon, a protest march, a convention or even a cultural festival can wreak havoc on your wedding day.  Traffic can be a disaster; hotel rooms can sell out quickly; and airline seats will be at premium prices.  This is not only a nuisance, it can affect the number of wedding guests who decide to attend your wedding. How can you avoid this? What can you proactively do to select a wedding date that doesn’t compete with local events? I have a valuable tip to help you select your wedding date.

Find Out What Else is Happening on Your Wedding Day

Before you secure your venue, run your wedding date by a representative at your local tourism board or your local chamber of commerce.  They should be able to tell you what is on your city’s event calendar that day. Because it is one thing to compete with another wedding; it’s a completely different ballgame competing with a convention of 15,000. If you are unsure how to reach your local convention and visitors bureau, check out this web site.  This site has a directory of convention and visitors bureaus throughout the United States and Canada. This site is another option. It is a directory of the local tourism offices worldwide.
