Book Your Wedding in Medellín
Planning ahead doesn’t just secure your date — it ensures the unforgettable wedding you’ve always dreamed of.
Getting married is one of life’s most exciting milestones. But when it comes to planning a wedding — especially abroad — the timeline becomes crucial. If you’re thinking of saying «I do» in Medellín or its surrounding areas, you’re probably asking:
How far in advance should I book everything for my wedding in Colombia?
The short answer is: 8 to 12 months before your desired date, especially if you’re planning from abroad or want access to premium venues and top-tier vendors.
Why Book Early in Medellín?
Medellín is quickly becoming one of Latin America’s most sought-after destination wedding locations, thanks to:
- Pleasant spring-like weather year-round
- Stunning countryside and urban venues
- Reliable, professional event services
- Luxury weddings at competitive prices
That also means that popular dates fill up fast, particularly during the high season between November and February or over holiday weekends.
Benefits of Booking Your Wedding in Medellín in Advance
- Secure your dream venue and date
Top venues — especially countryside estates — are in high demand. Early booking gives you first choice. - Better control over your budget
Booking early often allows you to lock in current rates, pay in installments, and avoid last-minute pricing spikes. - Access to the best vendors
The most sought-after photographers, decorators, florists, and entertainment providers often get booked 6 to 12 months out. - Less stress, more excitement
More time means more flexibility and less pressure — so you can enjoy the journey instead of rushing through it. - Better travel coordination for international guests
Booking ahead makes it easier for your friends and family to plan flights, accommodations, and time off.
Planning From Abroad? Start at Least 12 Months in Advance
If you’re organizing your destination wedding from the U.S., Canada, Europe or beyond, we recommend starting at least 12 months in advance to allow time for:
- Legal document preparation and apostilles
- Remote planning and virtual meetings
- Scheduling venue visits (if desired)
- Coordinating with local vendors from afar
At Banquetes San Joaquín, we specialize in destination weddings and offer full remote planning services with personalized attention.
When Is Wedding High Season in Medellín?
