How do you feel about Sunday weddings?

I feel the same way! It seems like so much of it depends on who your guests are, and I'm so grateful to have guests who are excited to party with us regardless of what day of the week our wedding falls on.

Sundays are great if you plan to do an in-town brunch sort of deal that doesn't include a lot of out of town guests. If you're having a wedding with a lot of out of town guests or a destination wedding especially if there's alcohol involved, Saturdays are best as it gives people time to travel up and get settled the night before and have some time to unwind before they have to drive back or catch another plane on Sunday.

We were in the same boat. Our venue had the same prices for Friday and Sunday weddings so we decided to do a Friday wedding to get that party vibe.

I would say spend the extra money on a Friday or Saturday. I know I definitely don’t feel in the party mood when the Sunday scaries hit. But if you’re having an early brunch wedding I think it could work. Depends on the vibe you want, but I know a lot of people leave early on Sunday weddings if it’s local.

Honestly I think this depends on the guests you invite, if they're religious and tend to have their Sunday's planned, and/or if a majority of them are traveling or not. If I were traveling, I'd prefer a Friday wedding to a Sunday. That way I could arrange my work schedule to travel Thursday, have the wedding Friday and then relax Saturday and either head home Saturday night or Sunday morning. Everyone is different though based on their work. My busiest day at work is Monday because of meetings, updating reports and catching up on things that happened over the weekend, so it's harder for me to get off on Mondays. For me, a Sunday wedding where I had to travel would cause me to either decline attending or leave very early to drive/fly home to prepare for my 7:30am work time on Monday.

Ours is a Jewish wedding so it has to be on a Sunday, the lower venue price was just a bonus. Many of our guests are coming from out of state and staying overnight before and after so no matter what day it is they would be taking a day off of work to be there. I think it will be fun and our family and friends have all been excited to party (they were already excited to party pre-covid and are looking forward to it even more now). Another bonus of Sunday is that vendors in general don't book up as quickly so it's less pressure to make quick decisions when hiring band/dj, florist, photographer, etc.

Early on there were a couple people who moaned about Sunday weddings being stupid and inconvenient but they got on board knowing it was important to us. Every wedding will have things that are inconvenient to some people but suit the bride and groom and that's okay. It's your day, and it needs to feel right to the two of you.

We are doing a Sunday Wedding- but it is a "destination" wedding a lot of people coming from out of town or are just a drive away. The wedding is 2:30 - 7pm and then a pub crawl after (it is in 2022 so hopefully we will have covid under control) but i figure people will look at it like a vacation and take the next couple days off. If not - it lowers our wedding count and less money spent. The day is yours- do what is best for you!

Don't be afraid of a Friday choice as many venues also offer a discount for that day as well. Sundays I would see there being issues with some wanting to attend due to work the next day. It would also have to be fairly early in the day.


When I chose venue by choosing a Friday I got a discount and a fee things for free. I also have no minimum guest count or amount to be spent.
