While weekends are the tradition for weddings, you definitely can hold a wedding at an event center on a weekday. Here are some reasons why weekday weddings are great.

While the modern tradition for weddings is to hold them on the weekends, usually on a Saturday, it hasn’t always been and doesn’t have to be that way. Maybe the venue you want is booked except for weekdays, you want your wedding to fall on a certain date, or you have a tight budget. No matter the reason why, there are tons of reasons why you definitely can, and maybe should, hold a wedding at an event center in Alamo, TX on a weekday.

Here are four big reasons why weekday weddings are great:

Venue and Vendor Availability – The wedding industry is huge, and this means that the best venues and vendors often book up years in advance. However, weekdays are generally left open because most people want to get married on a weekend. This means that if you have a wedding on a weekday you will have your pick of vendors and venues. Plus, most vendors do more than one wedding a day on the weekends, but on a weekday, they will be able to give you undivided attention.

Intimacy – Your wedding will be much more intimate and special on a weekday since a lot of potential guests won’t be able to take off work during the week. This also means that only the people that you want there and they want to be there the most will make the effort to come – in other words, you won’t care if Nancy from the office doesn’t come because she can’t take the day off but you will be showered with love from all the friends and family that do make the effort.

Savings – Weddings held on Mondays through Thursdays are the perfect opportunity for couples to have the high-end wedding they’ve always wanted without the high-end price tag because weekday weddings are cheaper. From the venue to catering, flowers, photographers, airfare and hotels, almost every single aspect of your wedding will cost less during the week. That leaves you more room in your budget for a bigger honeymoon, fancier dress, more elaborate cake, or leftover cash for the future. The savings are also ideal if you’re working with a smaller wedding budget to begin with. A weekday wedding means you can have your (wedding) cake and eat it, too.

Destinations – Weekday weddings work especially well if they’re destination weddings. If all the guests are flying to Mexico for the wedding, they’re most likely going to take the week off of work anyway. So why not have the wedding in the middle of the week so you have time on either side of it for celebrating?

 These are just four of the many, many reasons why we love weekday weddings so much. And at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter what day of the week your wedding is on. After all, you and your guests won’t remember the day, just the wonderful experience and happy memories.
