The other day I was asked why weddings seem to be on Saturdays. It's the most popular day of the week. It's got the most demand no matter the month or season. It makes sense. People don't have to take work off. They can travel post work on Friday and get to the location or go early Saturday morning depending on the time of the ceremony. However, what many people don't realize is that if you book a Friday night or Sunday, you could save a ton on your vendors.
There isn't much demand at all for Fridays. They're late nights. Guests have to take work off. If you have guests traveling from far away, their travel has to start early or even late Thursday. For the couples with not many people traveling or flexible schedules or a small guest list, a Friday night could be perfect.
Sundays are another great opportunity that many couples miss out on. Say you want your bachelor or bachelorette on the Friday before. You can do this without a morning of your wedding hangover. Yes, you will probably be nervous and need to keep busy on Saturday. However Sundays allow for a lot of travel time for guests and although it means they won't be staying much longer afterward because of a Monday workday, you can throw a great pre-wedding party with your guests or have an awesome rehearsal.
