Kernersville is about 10 miles east of Winston-Salem, or roughly a 15-minute drive from Downtown Winston-Salem under normal traffic conditions. For couples searching for a wedding venue near Winston-Salem, that short distance matters, but the bigger story is where Kernersville sits within the North Carolina Triad.

The short answer: For most couples, 12 to 18 months before the wedding is a good time to book a Winston-Salem wedding venue. If you’re planning a Saturday wedding during a popular spring or fall weekend, starting even earlier can give you more choices.
