4 Reasons Why Weekday Weddings Rock

4 Reasons Why Weekday Weddings Rock

weekday weddings

In every year, there are several Saturdays that are repeatedly requested for wedding dates. During the pandemic, there were a backlog of weddings scheduled. This meant that couples have to be more creative and flexible with their wedding dates. It became popular to choose a weekday and plan away! There are several reasons that is a great idea. Apart from the making lemonade out of lemons thing, here are six reasons why weekday weddings rock.

·  They Are Typically Easier on The Wallet

Not to be captain obvious, but since most couples go for Saturday weddings, they tend to be more expensive. It’s a demand and price thing. With a weekday wedding, your vendors and venue are happy to fill that date and are more amenable to giving you discounts. If you’re a price-conscious couple, this could be perfect for you.

·  You’ll Be More Likely to Secure Your Dream Venue

The venue you want for your wedding might have all its Saturdays full, but there’s a chance their midweek is available. All you have to do is ask. This is much better than having to settle for a venue you’re not really in love with because you want a Saturday wedding. Plus, have we mentioned it could be more affordable? *Drumroll*

·  Your Favorite Vendors Will Be Available

Just like with your wedding venue, you’ll be more likely to catch your photographer, coordinator, and florists free for your weekday wedding. If you have your heart set on a particular vendor, you could even ask which weekday they’re available on and work with that. You’ll also be more likely to get a good deal on all your wedding services. Just be aware that most vendors might take Mondays and Tuesdays to rest after a busy weekend.

·  You’ll Enjoy A More Intimate Affair

Weekday weddings, just like destination weddings, tend to enjoy a smaller guest list. This means more intimacy and quality at your wedding. The standards are sure to go up if you’re spending more on a lower number of people. The guests that will make it to your wedding will most likely be those who are ready to go through thick and thin for you. Remember to run the day by those most important to you first and give your guests plenty of notification in advance.
