Having a wedding on a weekday

Dear near Mosman Bride to be,

Week day weddings are becoming popular. There are several reasons to consider hosting your wedding on a weekday and they include: significant cost saving, easier access to very popular and heavily booked venues and suppliers. The other consideration is guests who are working and out of town guests. Consider hosting the wedding after 3pm to make it more convenient for your guests to get a leave from work but do not forget to factor peak hour traffic into the planning and the on the day time table particularly if it's the day before a major annual holiday e.g. Australia Day where traffic to and from the city is an issue. If your are not partnering with a Wedding Planner from the start of the planning process it is a practical idea to have engaged a Wedding Day Coordinator to help sort through all of these issues. The Wedding Day Coordinator usually commences work with you about three weeks before your big day and manages the day from start to finish including cultural imperatives, vendor and supplier cohesiveness, time lines and run sheets as well as guest liaison. They will also advise as to the best approach for your photography and videography - summer or not it is wise to have the offical wedding photography completed before the ceremony and reception. Informal photos can then be captured at the reception. Just remember it is your unforgettable day and it should be your way - without fuss. Your family and guests are there to support and celebrate with you and your partner no matter the timing or day.

Having a wedding on a weekday is a fantastic way to save some extra money and put that away for your honeymoon. Many venues and suppliers would also agree that they would be able to put together a suitable package for you if you are flexible with your dates and times. Hope this helps you. All the best for your wedding day.

This is a great question! I actually quite enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere of a weekday wedding, plus the cost is reduced significantly (always important).

In terms of time - if you give people enough notice, they should be able to organise their work / life schedules to attend your wedding - so I wouldn't worry too much!

I think a 3pm start is perfect and then the event can finish before any kind of noise / council restrictions apply!

Hope this helps - happy to help if you need! <3

Weekday weddings are awesome because you can generally save yourself a bunch of cash! People don't mind attending mid-week either, as it is a good excuse for a day off work. I think you should give people as much notice as possible (I would be sending save the dates now if this is for next year) so that they can apply for leave etc :)

?Never too early to start planning your big. I helpped plan one of my clients wedding two years ahead of their day. Nothing wrong with getting things sorted i.e decorations, venue, invites. If you need help feel free to contact me on leesaweddingplanner@gmail.com

A weekday wedding is very achievable. Just remember that your guests may need to take sometime off work. A gorgeous sunset wedding would be amazing for you. Being January it can be extremely hot, so keep in mind the weather. A 5pm wedding that would lead directly into pre dinner drinks and canapes and then the reception. This will allow for beautiful photos and smooth flow of your wedding day events.

Hope this helps

Design Your Day

Hi, This is an exciting time for you and congratulations.

I feel no time is too early to ask. If you give your guests enough notice then they can organise to take the day off.

A traditional Jewish wedding is full of meaningful rituals, symbolising the beauty of the relationship of husband and wife, as well as their obligations to each other and to the Jewish people. You don't want to rush anything so even an early afternoon is a great time so you the bride have plenty of time to get ready in the morning.

Most guests are very understanding.

All the best with the preparations. If you would like a stress free Wedding day please feel free to give me a call for an on the day coordinator.

Kind Regards

Weddings during the week are becoming more common these days and most guests don't mind taking a day off during the week to attend a wedding. Definitely give them more notice so they can take leave if required. I would say 4-6 months out would give them more than enough time. Timing wise for your wedding, check with the reception venue, photographer and celebrant to make sure they are happy with the times you pick and they can coordinate everything for you to work in together, you want to leave enough time for photos without cutting yourself short, or giving yourself too much time. Good luck with everything and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Weekday weddings are getting more and more popular. Most guests will try to take the whole day off work and as such the time of the ceremony shouldn't matter too much. Make sure you discuss with the photographer so there is enough time for photos between ceremony and reception. You could for example do ceremony 2.30pm - 3.30pm, photos 3.30pm - 5.30pm, pre-dinner drinks 5.30pm, reception 6pm. Hope this helps, good luck with the planning!

Having it at 3 or 4pm is fine if you plan to have your wedding shoot after the ceremony before the reception. Also let your guest know as soon as possible for those who need to take leave from work. All the best in planning your big day!
