<p>San Antonio is the seventh-largest city in the US, with a thriving wedding market that spans from downtown River Walk venues to Hill Country ranches. For wedding vendors, the competition for newly engaged couples is fierce.</p>
<h2>The First-Mover Advantage</h2>
<p>Research shows that couples book their top 3 vendors within <strong>3 weeks of getting engaged</strong>. That means the vendor who reaches out first — with a genuine, personalized congratulations — wins the booking over competitors who show up weeks later.</p>
