Sunday morning brunch weddings

Considered it, but food was something really important to FH so we opted for a normal dinner. Our venue offers brunch option on sundays only but then they won't move the the time of the ceremony up to mid morning so we would have had "brunch" at like 4pm and nobody wants that.

Why don’t you do Sunday but later in the afternoon ? Originally our wedding was planned for a Sunday afternoon. It shouldn’t be much of a price difference. And we were having a plated dinner. Also try off season. A winter Sunday’s afternoon or evening wedding should be more cost effective.

I've never been to a brunch wedding, but we will be going to a Sunday wedding that starts late afternoon next month. There might be a few issues with a brunch wedding. First is that if you have a bridal party or others getting ready with you then you will have to wake up rather early to get ready. Also if you have guests that attend church they likely would be unable to attend or would have to race to get there. I would recommend having it later in the day rather than brunch time at least on a Sunday.

Honestly I’d be so excited to be invited to a brunch wedding. Who doesn’t love a good brunch??? Mimosas, pancakes, eggs Benedict…🤤 Can I come? Lol

View Quoted Comment Right?!! Don’t forget the Bloody Mary’s! It’s definitely something to consider.

Our venue offers brunch Sunday weddings. We chose the Sunday evening option. I just didn't see us getting ready so early in the morning lol. My bridal shower is a bridal brunch though so the food definitely wouldn't have been an issue.

Sunday brunch weddings are fairly common. The downside is you'll be up really early to get ready.


The easiest way to cut cost is to trim the guest list.

I LOVE the idea of a brunch wedding! I really wanted to do this but my fiancé wanted the big dinner with the party and dancing.
As a guest, I would love to attend a brunch wedding! Just keep in mind you and the bridal party will have to get up SUPER early to get ready.

Guess I should mention that I’m a 40-something bride with only one person as an attendant. ☺️ Thanks for the feedback though! I’m meeting with a wedding planner soon to sit down and talk options. 😋

Our wedding next May is a Saturday brunch, with the ceremony at 10:30am, mimosa bar and brunch-y appetizers from 11am-12pm and champagne brunch reception at noon. We are super excited about this format and our friends and family are, too! Brunch is our favorite meal, so this decision was a slam dunk. Champagne brunch and mimosa bar is less expensive than a full bar and wine with dinner, and our venue isn’t normally open before dinner on Saturday, anyway, so they’re able to give us a break on the room rental, AND we get the whole place to ourselves. BTW - I am a 50-something bride, and this is the second (and final!) marriage for both of us. My daughter will be my maid of honor, my son will escort me down the aisle, and my fiancé’s son will be best man. You’re never too old to plan and enjoy a beautiful wedding! I’m loving every minute of this!

We are looking at brunch as an option. We are also considering a weekday.

I went to one. It started at 11 and lasted till well after 4. The brunch buffet was great but after we ate there really wasnt anything to do. There was a partial open bar. Beer, wine, champagnee and vodka. They didnt have a DJ or dancing. I think it would have been better if it ended at 2 to be honest with you. It was just too long since there was no dancing, but we had a really good time and the food was amazing.
