People.com said the date is in keeping with their wishes to have a short engagement and a spring wedding.
The Royal Family is to pay for the church service, the music and parties, while security will be covered by the British taxpayers, People.com said.
The historic site where William and Kate are to exchange vows was the scene for Queen Elizabeth II's 1947 wedding to Prince Philip, as well as the 1997 funeral of Princess Diana, William's mother.
His father is Charles, the Prince of Wales, son of the Queen.
