When to book in Athens
Spring (April–May) and fall (late September–early November) are Athens's most requested seasons, but fall overlaps with UGA home football Saturdays, when hotels across town sell out and vendor pricing climbs. If you want a fall date, check the UGA schedule first and book your venue and photographer 12–14 months out; a bye-week or away-game Saturday is easier to lock down. Summer and January–February open up better availability and rates if you're flexible.
