We’re right in the heart of wedding season—and if you’ve already RSVP’d as a guest, odds are your outfit is picked and your summer weekends are filling up fast. You’ll soon be sipping cocktails, snapping sunset photos, and raving about someone else’s incredible celebration (and their unforgettable food).

Planning Your 2026 Wedding Starts Now

But next year? That spotlight will be on you.

If you’re tying the knot in 2026, now is the time to start planning. Locking in your caterer, securing your dream venue, and getting your wedding planner onboard are the key first steps. After all, the date you choose will one day be your anniversary—celebrated for years to come. Why not start it stress-free?

Why Early Booking Makes All the Difference

Here’s the thing: booking your wedding caterer a month before your big day isn’t just risky—it’s nearly impossible. In our 30+ years in the wedding business, we’ve seen it all. The couples who start early? They’re the ones who get the peace of mind, the best vendors, and a day that feels effortless.

Personalized Wedding Menus with Continental Caterers

At Continental Caterers, we’re here to help you craft a menu that’s just as unforgettable as the rest of your day.

Peak Season Booking Tips for 2026 Couples

Most in-demand caterers, including us, book out 10 to 12 months in advance—sometimes more during peak seasons. That means the earlier you start, the more options you’ll have for customizing everything, from your first bite to your final toast.
