I think a year to a year and a half is your safest bet for a venue, especially if it's one that is big on bokking weddings. Our date is Sept 2010, and we booked our venue in May 2009!
We booked in May 2009 for our August 2010 wedding. We weren't set on any particular Saturday in August and all the venues we looked at had at least one option available.
The more popular venues did seem to book up really quickly though and in some cases we were told that we should at least make a tentative booking just in case. It's nothing worth panicking about, but if you're set on a particular date and you do happen to find a venue that you adore, it might be worth booking sooner than later.
I've never been to Mona Ritche Bridal so I can't help there...
In regards to booking a venue I'd say at least a year in advance, especially in the GTA. I have friends who recently got engaged and they were looking for a venue for next September. They said the entire summer was all booked up and a couple of dates were left for September.
We booked in April 2009 for our May 2010 wedding.
Sorry, no feed back on Mona Richie but I wanted to chime in regarding venues. We were engaged on Valentine's day and found out some venues were already booked for our June 2010 wedding. You have plenty of time but if there's a venue you have your heart set on, it might be a good idea to get in there early. Plus you'd get the 2009 or 2010 rates for your 2011 wedding!

Hi all
I'm new to the bee site and am just in the first stages of planning for my May 2011 wedding. Has anyone had any dealings with Mona Richie bridal? So far they've been nothing but attentive and helpful. I was just wondering if others have had the same experience.
Also, just wondering what when I should seriously be looking at booking our venue. I'm thinking North Toronto but haven't found anything that's made me want to investigate further. We're having approx 130-150 people.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
