Getting married on Sunday is not the most common thing, but to us at Perfect Venue, it seems like a perfect day to do so. Why, you ask? Because there are only advantages!
It’s true that Saturdays are the most popular days for couples to choose as their wedding day, but that’s changing, and getting married on a Sunday is more fashionable than ever.
Currently, with the changes that weddings have undergone due to the coronavirus, getting married on a Sunday or a different day than Saturday is considered a very smart option.
That’s why, in this article, we’ll tell you about all the advantages of choosing this day to say “I do.”
Let’s get started!
1. You will find more available dates
As we have already mentioned, the custom is usually to celebrate the wedding on a Saturday. This means that during the high season months, many couples request the same date and we may not find an available day in the place where we would like to celebrate our wedding.
In this case, many couples have to look for another place or consider less popular dates. Therefore, one solution to this inconvenience is to choose to get married on a Sunday.
2. You will have a spectacular daytime wedding
Getting married on a Sunday implies, almost necessarily, that the wedding will be during the day, as most of the guests will have to go to work the next day, so the party cannot continue until the early hours of the morning. And what is the good thing about all this? Well, you will have a ceremony and a celebration full of light, in which the hours of natural light will be maximized.
In this way, outdoor wedding settings will look their best, and your walk down the aisle will be even more romantic. Additionally, the professional photographer you have hired will also get incredible photos, especially if you have gardens or beautiful landscapes as a backdrop. There will be no shortage of unique images in your wedding album!
3. You will get great discounts
Most hotels, wedding venues, or estates usually offer special discounts for weddings if the celebration day is on a Sunday.
Considering that there is usually low demand on this day of the week, many of the places and services you will need will have greater availability, and it’s even possible to get additional benefits for this reason.
For example, some of the discounts or benefits could be an open bar, transportation for guests, music, and even photography services for that special moment. We love it!
4. More guests will confirm their attendance
Keep in mind that it’s very likely that some of your family and friends work on Saturdays, so if you tie the knot on Sunday, they won’t have to ask for time off or give up accompanying you on such a special date. Remember that the people who truly love you will be at your wedding, regardless of the day or location where it is held!
5. There won’t be a minimum number of guests required
Most restaurants, farms, and catering companies require a minimum number of guests for Saturday weddings during the busiest months of the year. However, generally, that minimum is not required on Sundays, which is a great advantage for couples looking for an intimate and small wedding, or who do not reach the number of guests requested by certain venues.
6. A whole weekend
Getting married on Sunday can be the perfect excuse to gather a group of loved ones and extend the party over the weekend. If you celebrate the wedding on Sunday, you can have a pre-wedding celebration on Saturday. Everyone will want to join!
In addition, if your guests have had to travel to attend the wedding, they may want to take advantage of the excuse to enjoy a weekend getaway and do some tourism.
7. Providers with greater availability
With lower demand, there is a greater chance that you will be able to reach an agreement with the provider you choose. Remember that Sundays are not as busy for weddings, so you can choose from a greater number of options.
Therefore, you will be free of worries when choosing the only available option, as you can select what best suits your taste. You will have a wide range of options when choosing the catering service, music, photographer, and other providers.
8. You will shorten the times
Some people prefer to shorten and limit this preparation time, perhaps because they are very busy, because they want to get married sooner, or because they have other life plans afterwards that cannot wait…
So, if you do not want to wait a long time to get married or give up your ideal location, getting married on Sunday can be a great alternative. Many weddings that have been organized in three months or even less time have been a real success because Sundays are usually not busy.
9. You will not coincide with other weddings
By choosing Sunday as the day of celebration, it is likely that you will be the only wedding banquet that the provider has that day, so the treatment will be more personalized, and the atmosphere more intimate and calm 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!
10. A great option for intimate weddings
When the couple wants to do something very small, discreet, and family-oriented, Sunday becomes the perfect day to carry out that intimate and exclusive celebration that you dream of, as it is not necessary for many people to coordinate calendars to attend your wedding. The closest family and friends know they will be with you that day!
11. You can take advantage of long weekends!
You can choose a Sunday that has a holiday the next day, which will allow your guests to enjoy the celebration more without having to go to work on Monday, and on your part, take advantage of the advantages and discounts of Sunday weddings.
12. Less traffic to access your venue
Yes, transportation or transfer of your guests is benefited by the fact that traffic is usually less congested on this day, so it will be easier for them to get to the ceremony venue and then to the party venue.
13. You will save on your honeymoon
Of course! You can start the week with your honeymoon, which can help you save on travel expenses and make the most of all the days of the week that, in most destinations, usually have fewer visitors compared to a weekend.
14. You can attend a wedding as a guest
You probably hadn’t even thought about it, but during peak wedding season, we all have overlapping celebrations. That’s why one great advantage of getting married on a Sunday is that you can attend another wedding that takes place on a Friday or Saturday. On Sunday, you’ll be the only protagonist!
