before the circuit starts
The key word here is "circuit". It may be in a tour or sport context:
circuit - an established itinerary of venues or events that a particular group of people travel to; "she's a familiar name on the club circuit"; "on the lecture circuit"; "the judge makes a circuit of the courts in his district"; "the international tennis circuit"
If this is the case, they want to get married before it starts, so all their friends (who may be participants in the circuit) can attend to the wedding.
Good luck !

before the circus got going
I've never heard of people talking about a "circuit" getting going (though there's no reason that can't be what the speakers have said). More commonly, it would be the "circus", the "rat race", the "busy time".

If the marrying couple expect a furor (social, political, media) of some sort that would interfere with their wedding plans, the term "circus" would also apply.
