For generations, Saturdays have been the preferred wedding day for many couples. However, it’s time to break free from the norm. Saturdays may have claimed the spotlight for far too long, but it’s time to discover the untapped potential of Friday or Sunday weddings. By shifting the focus to these alternative days, you open up a world of possibilities to create the wedding of your dreams wherever your heart desires. Embrace the freedom to choose the perfect venue, vendors, and services without the limitations of peak season availability. If you are convinced and would like to say ‘I do’ on a Friday or Sunday, let us help you plan your dream wedding.
Venue Availability
The first and foremost thing to check from your to-do list is to look for the venue availability, and this is where choosing a Friday or a Sunday comes in your favor. When it comes to popular wedding locations, Saturdays tend to be in high demand, often booked well in advance. By considering alternative days, you open up a world of possibilities and increase your chances of obtaining the venue you’ve always envisioned.
Pricing
Unlike Saturdays, which often come with a premium price tag, Fridays and Sundays offer a wealth of opportunities to book your desired venues at cheaper rates. With lower demand on these alternative days, you can negotiate better deals, secure discounted packages, and open up a wider range of options for yourself. This can help you turn your wedding dreams into a reality without breaking the bank.
Vendors
Booking a venue on a less in-demand day might help you save big bucks, but this might not be the case with other vendors. For instance, the delivery date usually doesn’t affect the pricing of a chef or a florist. Other than that, the charges of wedding planners and cinematographers also don’t vary as they devote the entire weekend to one client and the main event day doesn’t really make a difference to them.
Guests
Many guests already plan on taking a work day off for your wedding. It might surprise you, but having them over on Friday morning or making them stay till Monday morning doesn’t really affect a lot of your loved ones. Based on whatever day you decide, it is fair that they take a leave to be with you on your special day. In fact, having a wedding on Friday can even turn out as a weekend getaway for them as they get Saturday and Sunday to explore and relax.
