Peak Newport wedding season is June, July, August, and September.

- Book your venue 12-18 months out for a June-September Newport date — top venues fill that fast.
- Lock in your photographer + caterer 9-12 months out (they're the next-most-booked vendors).
- Send save-the-dates 6-8 months before — LOML's branded save-the-date sender does this in two clicks.
- RSVPs close 6-8 weeks out so caterers have a confirmed headcount.
- Final Newport venue walkthroughs happen 2-4 weeks before — bring your LOML day-of timeline.
