What is the best day of the week for a wedding?

The good news is at The Secret Garden we do weddings and elopements 7 days a week, all year long based on availability of course and we charge the same amazing price no matter what day of the week you choose.

Choosing the best day of the week for a wedding (at most other venues) largely depends on several factors including the couple’s preferences, guest convenience, venue availability, and cost considerations.

Here’s a breakdown by day:

– **Friday**:

– **Pros**: Guests can enjoy a long weekend if the wedding is local. It can be easier to book venues and vendors since fewer weddings happen on Fridays. It might also be cheaper than a Saturday.

– **Cons**: Some guests might need to take time off work, which could be inconvenient.

– **Saturday**:

– **Pros**: This is traditionally the most popular day for weddings due to convenience; guests don’t have to worry about work the next day. Most venues offer full services on Saturdays.

– **Cons**: Higher demand often means higher costs and less availability. Booking can be challenging far in advance.

– **Sunday**:

– **Pros**: Similar to Friday, it might offer better pricing and availability. Guests can still enjoy part of the weekend before returning to work.

– **Cons**: Guests might need to leave early to prepare for work or travel back home if the wedding isn’t local. Some services might not be available or might charge more for a Sunday event.

– **Weekdays (Monday to Thursday)**:

– **Pros**: Costs can be significantly lower, and you might have more flexibility with venue choices and vendor bookings. Ideal for intimate or destination weddings where travel is already planned.

– **Cons**: Attendance might be lower due to work commitments. Not all vendors or services might be available, and some might charge extra for less popular days.

**Considerations:**

– **Guest Travel**: If many guests are traveling, consider a day that allows for a longer stay without work conflicts.

– **Budget**: If budget is a concern, weekdays or Sunday can be more economical.

– **Personal Preference**: If you have a favorite day or a specific vibe you’re going for, this can override logistical concerns.

– **Venue and Vendor Availability**: Sometimes, the availability of your dream venue or a must-have vendor might dictate the day.

Ultimately, the “best” day is subjective and should align with the couple’s vision for their celebration, taking into account what matters most to them and their guests. If you’re leaning towards a particular day but unsure, you might also consider doing a poll among your expected guests.
