Midweek Weddings vs. Weekend Weddings, Which is Better?

Save the date weddings are traditionally weekend affairs. However, midweek wedding dates are on the rise. Couples are marrying midweek at a rate of 33% in the recent years. Eloping couples are the biggest trendsetters of midweek elopements. Let’s compare weekend weddings and midweek weddings, and let you decide which is better.

Cost Midweek Weddings vs. Weekend Weddings

Eloping couples win out economically over the traditional weekend wedding every time. Eloping couples save 90% over traditional weddings. Saving MONEY is one reason couples chose to elope. Within both weddings and elopement packages you can find even more savings by having a midweek wedding or elopement. So saving money is a win, by eloping over the traditional weekend wedding and weekday elopement packages provide even more savings.

Midweek Elopement Packages and Weddings

Yes, elopement packages and weddings are often cheaper midweek than they are for weekends. High demand for venues on weekends creates the supply and demand scenario for the full rate charge of venues on weekends. Midweek, venues stand empty, unused, particularly during the off-season. Vendors who want to fill venues during the week offer discounted packages in order to fill a room that stands otherwise empty. Eloping couples that are on a tight budget now can have greater savings on elopement packages. Visit our midweek elopement package page to find more information on these packages. Our vendors have created some excellent midweek wedding specials and elopement packages. You will find more information on these midweek elopement packages in our midweek wedding section of wheretoelope.com.

More Privacy

On weekdays most people are working, this leaves desirable venues available, and as mentioned above, usually at a reduced rate. Another advantage to midweek elopements is the privacy factor that this aspect holds more importance for couples that desire a beach or park venue.
