Midweek Weddings vs Weekend Weddings Which is Better?

Traditionally, Saturday is the most common day to get married. If you are choosing to elope you are already breaking with tradition, so why not think about choosing a different date? A growing number of couples are choosing midweek weddings, but what is it that makes them better than a weekend wedding? Let’s take a look at some of the reasons for the growing popularity of midweek weddings.

Cut Your Wedding Costs With Midweek Weddings

If you are choosing to elope as a way to save money, then you will definitely want to consider midweek weddings. It is often cheaper to tie the knot midweek. Many inns and bed & breakfast locations have low bookings midweek. This means that rather than have empty rooms, the vendor is often willing to offer a discount.

Better Availability at Popular Venues

If your dream venue has a long waiting list, you may find that looking at midweek weddings can bump you up the list! Since weekends are more in demand, it may be easier to book popular venues on a weekday. It is not unusual for some venues to be booked for up to 2 years in advance, but there may be availability much sooner if you are willing to book a weekday.

Enjoy a More Intimate Wedding

One of the main reasons to choose to elope is that you want a more intimate celebration. When opting for a weekday wedding you can make it even more intimate! On weekdays most venues will be less crowded giving you a more intimate experience. This can be especially useful if you are going to be exchanging vows in a public place like a park or by the riverside where you are unable to reserve the spot exclusively for your use.

These are just a handful of the many reasons why midweek weddings might be a better option than choosing a more traditional weekend wedding day. Can you think of any others?
