The play begins two weeks and some days before Juliet's 14th birthday, which fell on Lammas Eve, the day before Lammas, which was August 1 (Act 1 Scene 3). Therefore the play begins some 16 or 17 days before Juliet's birthday July 31.
Let's say the play begins July 14. In that case they were married on the 15th, give or take a day. We know from Act 3 Scene 4 that they were married on a Monday. Mercutio and Tybalt died that same day.
There are no clues as to the year.
According to a lot of references on the net, although not mentioned in the story itself, William Shakepear said the date was 11 March 1302. All of these references on the net are wrong. In Shakespeare's play the month is clearly stated to be July, and all the action takes place within a week. Shakespeare did not anywhere suggest what year the story was supposed to take place in.

Since Juliet is a fictional person, she did not have a marriage certificate or parish register in which her marriage date was recorded. The play does not give any date for the action. However, since Juliet's previous encounters with Romeo involved meeting him as an uninvited guest at a party and as an even more uninvited guest in her parents' back yard, the first time she adn Romeo actually agree to meet is when they get married. In this sense the answer to "What date?" is "the first". Juliet Capulet got married on her first date.
