The early bird does, typically speaking, get the fat, juicy worm. But those who sleep late and/or forgo the 18-month engagement period sometimes do okay, as well.

Inspired in part by my brother’s recent engagement and his let’s-get-it-done, super-short engagement period (he asked on Valentine’s Day, they’re tying knots in, hopefully, July) and in part by a pitch from a contact at one of the venues below who wrote in to ask if I might like to let you all know about her available dates, I am happy to present you with this giant list of available Saturdays from June through September at a variety of fireside lounges, grand ballrooms, grassy fields, and otherwise fantastic locales.

Some are even offering discounts and deals exclusively for you.

Two really important things to keep in mind before you go any further:

1. This is what’s available now. At press time, as we like to call it. If you’re of the later-bird variety, don’t wait too much longer, huh?

2. It’s safe to assume that those who have Saturdays available also have Sundays and Fridays — and you know, Tuesdays at noon — available too. And it’s safe to assume that Sundays, Fridays, and other non-Saturdays come with a budget price tag, too.

(Please note: the dates below reflect availability at the largest/main event spaces at these facilities; if you are planning a small wedding, there very well may be alternate rooms with more availability. When in doubt: it’s safe to assume that it doesn’t hurt to ask.)
