Five reasons why you should pick a weekday wedding

Five Great Reasons to Choose a Weekday Wedding

Think that all the best weddings are on the weekend? If you are not convinced, then take a look at five fantastic reasons why you should consider getting married on a weekday…

 

Choosing a weekday wedding might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it’s a smart and increasingly popular choice for couples looking to make the most of their special day. From cost savings to better venue availability, tying the knot on a weekday offers plenty of advantages. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, opting for a weekday wedding can help you secure your dream suppliers, save money, enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, and even extend the festivities. Here are five great reasons to consider saying "I do" on a weekday!

1. It’s kind on your budget

Like any business, the wedding industry operates on supply and demand, and Saturdays are often the most in-demand day of the week. As a result, you may find that weekend weddings come with a premium price tag for venues and other services. By opting for a weekday wedding, you are able to take advantage of lower rates, stretching your wedding budget further and allowing you to invest in additional touches, such as a more elaborate reception or a luxury honeymoon.

2. Get your preferred suppliers

Booking a weekday wedding can give you a greater chance of securing the suppliers you’ve always wanted. With less competition from other couples, your dream photographer, florist, or entertainer might be available on your chosen date. Many top wedding vendors get booked up quickly for weekends, especially during peak wedding season. A weekday wedding gives you more flexibility and ensures you don’t have to compromise on the people and services that will make your big day truly special.

3. Choose a meaningful date

Weekday weddings offer the opportunity to choose a meaningful wedding date that may hold personal significance, like the anniversary of when you met, your first date, or another special occasion. These are perfect dates. You’ll also find it easier for guests who work in hospitality, retail, or education to take time off, especially mid-week or during school holidays. This allows you to invite more of your closest loved ones, ensuring that the day is even more memorable.

4. Pass the savings on to your guests

Your guests can also benefit from your decision to get married on a weekday. With hotels and accommodation being cheaper mid-week than on weekends, your loved ones won’t face inflated prices if they need to stay overnight. This also means more affordable travel options for guests who may be coming from afar, making it easier for everyone to join in on your celebration without breaking the bank.

5. You will not clash with sporting events

By planning a weekday wedding, you can avoid clashing with big sporting events that tend to dominate weekends. This ensures that your guests won’t be distracted by checking their phones or sneaking away to catch the match during your ceremony or speeches. With fewer events happening on weekdays, your big day will be the centre of attention, and your loved ones can fully immerse themselves in celebrating your love without distractions.
