ATTENTION: 
If you are postponing/planning your wedding in 2021 and 2022 A LOT of those remaining dates are quickly filling up at the popular venues in and around Atlanta. Make sure that you move fast and secure your date AND your vendors! Be sure to reach out to vendors such as caterers, coordinators, florists, DJs, photographers and videographers to see if they are offering any booking promotions right now. Postponed spring and summer wedding dates have been pushed to late summer, fall, winter and 2021 - which means availability will run out sooner than usual and most vendors will probably make different business decisions/how much business they book based on what has happened this year. I think it is safe to say the we will all be busy this late summer, fall and winter. Right now I do feel that summer, fall and winter 2020 weddings are safe and we should all be looking forward to them. 

One positive thing that has come out of this is that we are now learning how to be prepared/how to be better prepared when dealing with these kinds of scenarios when planning weddings.
