Wedding on a Friday is not very common, but we, at Perfect Venue, think it’s the perfect day to do it. Why? Because this option gives you so many advantages!
It is true that Saturdays are the days that always attract the most couples when it comes to choosing the day to celebrate their wedding, but nowadays a Friday wedding is becoming more fashionable than ever.
Yes, it’s not so strange, influencers like Teresa Andrés and singer Chenoa chose this day of the week to walk down the aisle!
That’s why, in this article, we tell you about all the advantages of choosing this day to say “I do”.
Let’s get started!
1. More time to relax
If one of your guests has too many drinks at your wedding, that’s not a problem! One of the advantages of getting married on a Friday is that you and your guests will have more time to recover and rest before going back to work, or in your case, going on your honeymoon.
Everyone needs an extra day to get over the hangover!
2. More free dates
As we have already mentioned, wedding celebrations are usually held on a Saturday. This means that in the high season many couples request the same date and we do not find the day free in the place where we would like to celebrate our wedding.
In this case, many brides and grooms have to look for another venue or think of less popular dates. Therefore, one of the solutions to this problem is to get married on a Friday.
3. You can get great discounts
Most of hotels, wedding venues and estates usually offer special discounts for Friday weddings.
Due to the fact that there is usually low demand on that day of the week, many of the venues and services you will need will be more available and you may even get additional benefits.
For example, some of the discounts or benefits could be open bar, transportation for guests, music and even a photography service for that special moment. We love it!
4. No minimum number of guests
Most restaurants, fincas and catering companies require a minimum number of guests for weddings on Saturdays during the busiest months of the year.
But, as a general rule, this minimum is not necessary on Fridays, making it a great advantage for couples who are looking for a small, intimate wedding, or who do not reach the number of guests requested by certain venues.
5. More options for a night of fun and frolic
If you want to continue the party, one advantage of getting married on a Friday is that you will have an endless number of pubs, discos, bars and afters to keep the party going. The night will never end!
To make the most of a Friday wedding, there’s nothing better than watching the sunrise and relaxing together!
6. Great variety of suppliers
If there is less demand, there is a greater chance that you will be able to secure the supplier of your choice. Remember that Fridays are not such busy dates for weddings, so you will be able to choose from a greater number of options.
Therefore, you will be free of worries when it comes to choosing the only option available, as you will be able to select the one that best suits your taste. You will be provided with a wide choice of caterers, music providers, photographers and other suppliers.
7. Save time
Some people prefer to cut down and limit the preparation time, perhaps because they are very busy, because they want to get married earlier or because they have other life plans that can’t wait…
So, if you don’t want to have to wait too long to get married or give up your ideal location, getting married on a Friday can be a great alternative. Many weddings that have been organised in three months or even less time, have been a real success because Fridays are not so busy.
8. You will not coincide with other weddings
By choosing Friday as the day of celebration, it is likely that you will be the only wedding reception that the caterer has that day, so the service will be more personalised and the atmosphere more intimate and quieter than if you choose a Saturday. It will be much easier not to coincide with other weddings or commitments that your loved ones may have!
9. No stress and no rush during your preparation
Hairdressers and beauty salons are usually crowded on Saturdays, but when it comes to Fridays, there are more possibilities. However, when it comes to Fridays, there are more possibilities, and by choosing this date you can be sure that your favourite stylist will be available!
So, no need to stress and worry about not getting the best bridal look for your special day.
10. People who really want to be at your wedding
Only those who really want to be at your big day will surely have plenty of time to organise themselves and ask for free date at work.
Most of them will surely be able to ask for a holiday if they really want to be at your wedding!
11. You will be able to have a post-wedding celebration
As post-wedding photo sessions have become popular, the fact that you are getting married on a Friday means that you can extend the celebration until the following day, sharing a fantastic breakfast or a nice meal with your family or friends.
This way, on Saturday you can have a post-wedding get-together with your closest friends to discuss the most exciting details of the wedding.
12. You and your family will have extra time
Friday weddings are ideal for destination weddings, as guests, family and bride and groom can have a weekend experience to enjoy. Guests will be looking at leaving a day or two earlier, so a Friday will be perfect for you to take advantage of a few days to get to know the destination better.
13. More time to pack your bags
If you decide to get married on Friday and choose to start your honeymoon on Monday, you’ll have plenty of time to finalize the last details! You will have Saturday and Sunday to pack your bags.
Remember that there is nothing better than traveling with energy, so you can enjoy every moment. So, if these are your plans, celebrating your wedding on a Friday will suit you perfectly!
14. A great option for intimate weddings
When the bride and groom want to do something very small, discreet and familiar. Friday becomes the perfect day to carry out that intimate and exclusive celebration that you dream of since it is not necessary that many people have to balance calendars to attend your wedding, the closest ones you know will be with you that day!
