While wedding season often runs from April
through November on Cape Cod, with a few
winter weddings here and there in between, Bohlin
says the two most popular months are June and
September. “It’s not too hot and it’s outside of the
main summer vacation window, so there aren’t as
many visitors here,” she adds. If you’re planning
to say “I do” on the Cape during these months,
plan to book your venue ASAE — as soon as
engaged. “I always say start looking right away
if you want a Cape Cod wedding, no matter the
timing, and probably plan for a one to one-and-a-
half-year engagement,” says Bohlin. “Our venues
and vendors tend to book a lot farther out because
everything is in such high demand.”
But if you’re looking for more budget-friendly
options, Bohlin says to consider the shoulder sea-
sons. “If you set your date before Memorial Day or
after Columbus Day, sometimes you can get some
really fabulous venues for lower food and beverage
minimums or other discounts,” she explains. “And
then if you can consider a Friday or a Sunday
wedding, your minimums will go down as well.”
