Many weddings, both in Nigeria and globally, are usually held during the weekends, with Saturday being the most common day, but if you feel like a Saturday wedding is not your thing, you should go for a weekday wedding. We are not talking about a court wedding but an actual wedding.
Here are a few benefits of having one:
1. Less cost and expenses
If you’re trying to be economical, then a weekday wedding is your best option. Most wedding venues have cheaper rent rates on weekdays due to less demand for use.

2. Fewer guests to cater to
Having a weekday wedding means fewer guests. This is because a good number of people would be at work. So, if you want a low-key wedding, it is your safest bet.
3. Perfect excuse for a destination wedding
A weekday wedding also gives you an excuse to have a destination wedding. Only family and selected guests would be invited and you can turn it into a vacation if you wish.
4. More time to have fun with your guests
Having a weekday wedding will give you some flexibility for the rest of your wedding festivities. When you plan your wedding on a Saturday, your guests will likely make plans to depart and go home on Sunday.
But if you plan your wedding on a weekday, before the weekend, you’ll be able to schedule other fun group activities during the remaining days thereafter.
5. Popular vendors are more likely to be available on a weekday
When it comes to booking your wedding at a popular destination location, some couples will find during the planning process that their favorite or preferred vendors may already be booked.
Popular photographers, videographers, event planners/designers, hair/makeup stylists, DJs, or bands will often book weddings several months or even a year in advance. So if you find out that your favorite vendor is already locked into another event, consider a weekday wedding to increase your chances!
