I am wanting an august 2015 wedding, and the rates right now are SO high! I just came back from my SIL's wedding, and it seemed like the best rates for her resort was 6 months prior. I'm hoping I'll find a good deal before the holidays, but if not, 6ish months out seems to be the time they have the best rates. Did you set your wedding date with the hotel before you booked your transportation?
