At The Wilds, we love helping our couples consider all of the ways to make their wedding dreams come true, and weekday weddings are a wonderful answer for many. Our featured couple, Kaitlin and Josh, had an unforgettable wedding filled with details made possible by their weekday wedding choice. Today we are sharing our top 5 reasons why you should consider a weekday wedding to make the most of your celebration.
With most weddings taking place on the weekends, premiums are charged to secure these coveted dates. At The Wilds, we have always offered weekdays for a more affordable rate with no sacrifice in services or quality.
For couples looking to be wise with their wedding budget, this can free up thousands to spend on other parts of your day which might have been sacrificed otherwise. With savings this great on an all-inclusive wedding venue, our couples are free to indulge in premium services and experiences from other vendors while still experiencing our 5-star service. Show-stopper florals, exceptional food, and top vendors are possibilities within reach with savings of this scale.
Compromise is a common part of traditional wedding planning, but with a weekday wedding, you are more likely to book every top vendor on your list.
The wedding-boom that we are currently experiencing has made it hard for couples to book their favorite photographers, videographers, florists, and caterers on their ideal weekends. Our weekday couples are finding it so much easier to secure their top choices, resulting in their dream experiences and coverage! Many also end up saving more, with some vendors also providing weekday deals on their normal rates.
If you are looking for a convenient way to keep your guest list smaller, a weekday wedding is a great option.
A mid-week celebration will be more feasible for a smaller number of people, resulting in a smaller number of guests who you can invest a greater value into. Many of our couples are able to lean into more premium catering options and additional luxuries for their guests with a more limited number of attendees.
A smaller guest count also means a more relaxed party, allowing our couples to easily spend time with everyone. Not having to rush through greeting everyone, but instead just enjoying a party all together, is a wonderful option for our couples looking to experience a relaxed wedding day.
Travel costs are often a variable for The Wilds couples and their guests.
A myriad of excellent surrounding accommodations are always in reach for our events, but weekday wedding couples experience the benefit of mid-week lower rates and off-season discounts. By taking the pressure off weekend, high-demand dates, our weekday wedding couples have found more “yes” RSVP’s from their loved ones with the heightened affordability.
Access to incredible accommodations ensures an unforgettable and relaxing experience for yourself and your guests!
Weekday weddings can be conveniently timed to still enjoy the social benefits of the weekend with your guests.
Our most popular weekday weddings tend to take place on Mondays and Thursdays. Our couples find that this proximity to the weekend allows them more time to celebrate with their family and friends. Whether you want to start your celebration early with Saturday and Sunday festivities for your Monday wedding, or keep the celebration going after a Thursday wedding stretching into the weekend, either option allows for far more fun time.
Exploring the surrounding Brown County Beauty or sauntering through the stunning Indiana University campus can all be on your weekend gameplay with a well-timed weekday wedding. Find great ideas on things to do in Bloomington for your wedding weekend HERE.
