Hi it’s Dave with Dave McIntosh Photographics. For wedding planning, there are many things to consider. One of the most important decisions you’ll make is your wedding date. Most couples choose to have their weddings on a Saturday, but there are several reasons why having your wedding on a weekday might be a better option for you. Why have your wedding on a weekday? Let’s find out!
Less Expensive
One of the main reasons to have a weekday wedding is because they are usually less expensive. Venues, caterers, and other vendors typically charge less for weddings on weekdays than they do for weddings on Saturdays. This can be a great way to save money on your wedding budget.
Booking Vendors Less Stressful
Another benefit of having a weekday wedding is that it is typically less stressful for booking vendors. Because most weddings are on Saturdays, vendors often have more availability on the other days of the week.
Get Your Dream Venue
2022 dates are booking up quickly. We even have dates booked up already for 2024. By selecting a weekday, you’re more likely going to book your dream venue than if you choose a popular day like Saturday.
More Intimate
Another benefit of having a weekday wedding is that they are typically more intimate than weddings on Saturdays. With fewer guests in attendance, you’ll be able to spend more time with each of your guests and enjoy your wedding day more.
Your Guests Can Save Money
Hotels and plane tickets are also less expensive on weekdays. If your guests are traveling to your wedding, they’ll save money by being able to book their hotel and airline tickets on a weekday.
Bonus Tip: If you’re considering having a weekday wedding, here are a couple tips to help you have a successful event.
Consider having an evening ceremony that begins after 6:30 p.m. so guests who live in town won’t have to take the whole day off of work. You could also host a cocktail hour before the ceremony to give some wiggle room for guests who might come straight from work and may encounter traffic.
Weekday weddings can be a great way to save money, reduce stress, and create an intimate atmosphere. If you’re considering having your wedding on a weekday, Dave McIntosh Photographics can help make it a beautiful and memorable event.
