Looking to buck tradition? Mid-week weddings are the new trend, and for good reason. Sure, Saturday still reigns supreme, but couples are discovering the charm of a more intimate, relaxed weekday celebration. Fun fact: according to English tradition, Wednesday is the “best day” to marry, with Monday for wealth and Tuesday for health. And guess what? Saturday is considered the unluckiest wedding day in English folklore.
So, why the shift?
Mid-week weddings first surged after COVID restrictions lifted, with weekend slots booked solid for up to two years. Couples took the smart route and snapped up mid-week dates. Now, even with the backlog cleared, this trend is here to stay.
At Eleven Eighty – The Venue with a Twist – we’re all about tossing the rulebook out the window. We’re the go-to venue on the South Coast for couples who like to do things their way. A mid-week wedding gives you the perfect canvas to create something uniquely yours.
Why Consider a Wednesday Wedding?
Cost Savings: Let’s face it, with the rising cost of living, the savings are real. At Eleven Eighty, our mid-week rates are significantly lower, and our micro-wedding packages for smaller, more intimate gatherings make the deal even sweeter.
More Availability: As of September 2024, we’re about to close our books for weekend weddings in 2025 – only four dates remain! Weekend spots come with an 18-month to 2-year wait, but mid-week dates, especially Wednesdays, offer far more flexibility. For couples wanting a shorter engagement or specific dates, mid-week is the way to go.
Intimacy: Mid-week weddings are often smaller, more relaxed affairs. It’s about focusing on your love, surrounded by close family and friends, without the pressure of putting on a grand show. Want to keep it simple? Or maybe go all out with the savings? Our mid-week micro weddings are perfect for either vibe.
Less Stress: Fewer guests mean less stress. And with more time to snag your dream vendors – from stylists to photographers – you can relax knowing your day will be exactly as you imagined.
Guest Perks: Planning a destination wedding? Mid-week weddings help your guests score discounted rates on accommodation. Turn your wedding into an extended getaway, giving you more time to enjoy with loved ones.
A Unique Experience: Let’s be real – a mid-week wedding stands out. It’s a fresh, exciting twist that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Less Competition for Attention: Avoid the hustle of weekend events and let your wedding take center stage. Your guests won’t have to juggle conflicting plans.
Opting for a mid-week wedding is the perfect way to craft a memorable, relaxed, and cost-effective celebration.
