5 Benefits Of A Midweek Wedding

Spring is in the air and wedding season is upon us! If you’re currently in the midst of planning your big day, you may be considering a midweek wedding. Here are 5 benefits of tying the knot during the week instead of the weekend.. 

1. Availability of your dream venue

One of the biggest benefits of having a midweek wedding is that you are more likely to be able to secure your dream venue. Venues are typically booked solid on weekends, but you may have your pick of the litter if you choose to have your wedding on a Wednesday or Thursday.

2. Availability of your preferred suppliers

Just like your dream venue, your preferred suppliers such as photographers, catering companies and bands are also more likely to be available during the week. These suppliers are often booked months or even years in advance for Saturday weddings, so booking a midweek wedding may give you first pick of the bunch! 

3. Happy Wallet

Weddings can be extremely expensive, so anything you can do to save money is a huge bonus! Having a midweek wedding can help you save big bucks in several ways. For one, venues and suppliers typically charge less for weekday weddings than they do for weekend weddings. Additionally, you may be able to take advantage of lower airfare and hotel rates if you get married during the week. 

4. Cheaper accomodation and travel

As we mentioned before, one of the benefits of having a midweek wedding is that guests who have to travel for your nuptials may be able to expense their trip as business travel. But even if they can't expense their trip, they'll still appreciate being able to take advantage of cheaper airfare and hotel rates that are typically available during the week. Plus, they won't have to use up precious vacation days in order to attend your wedding! 

5. Guests availability

Let's face it: not everyone has the ability to take off work or school on a whim in order to attend a weekend wedding. However, if you have your wedding during the week, guests will be much more likely to be able to attend since they won't have prior commitments getting in the way. 

As you can see, there are many benefits to having a midweek wedding! From being able to snag your dream venue and preferred suppliers to saving money on accommodation and travel for yourself and your guests, there are plenty of reasons why a weekday wedding might be the perfect choice for you and your fiance. So if you're on the fence about whether or not to have a midweek wedding, hopefully this article has helped sway you in favor of saying "I do" during the week!
