Re-booking your wedding for next year? What about a weekday?
To all those having to consider postponing their wedding until next year, here are a few thoughts on perhaps re-booking for a weekday…
If you’ve booked a licensed venue and are looking at re-booking, you might be worried that they’re likely to be pretty booked up on Saturdays into 2021 already. However, could you consider having a weekday wedding instead?
- By being more flexible on the day of the week that you choose, you are much more likely to find a venue that will be available.
- If you’re booking a weekday, you could also consider an evening ceremony so that people who absolutely have to go to work are still able to attend. I’m more than happy to take ceremonies into the night if necessary!
- You may find that your venue is cheaper on a weekday than on a Saturday.
- You can find a ‘quirky’ date for your big day, or get married on your birthday or perhaps on the anniversary of when you had your first date.
- Weekday weddings are bound to become fashionable for all these reasons – so be ahead of the trend!
Finally, if you’re completely set on having a Saturday wedding but can’t find a ‘normal’ venue, then consider getting creative with your chosen location. One of the beautiful things about humanist weddings is that they can take place absolutely anywhere, so not only can you can consider non-traditional indoor venues, but you could also get married on a farm, at the beach, the woods or on the moors. The possiblities are endless, so please don’t lose heart!
