Why Thursday is the new perfect day to say “i Do”

While traditional weddings are known for taking place on the weekend, there’s a rising trend that’s capturing the hearts of couples worldwide: getting married on a Thursday.

Let’s dive into the top 5 reasons Thursdays have become so compelling.

Availability

By choosing a Thursday for your wedding day, you’ll have a much greater chance of booking your dream wedding venue, your dream wedding date, and your dream wedding vendor team.

The most in demand weekend wedding dates often book out for a wedding venue, photographer, and high demand vendors more than two years in advance.

That’s tough. It’s heartbreaking to be freshly engaged OR not even engaged yet and discover that your dream wedding was booked by someone else a year or two ago.

The perfect love story doesn’t always provide two years notice.

What a gift to discover that by picking a Thursday you can still get your entire dream wedding experience. From the perfect fall leaf colors, to the perfect spring temps, to the perfect long summer days… they are all yours to choose from simply by embracing a non-traditional Thursday.

Affordability

Thursdays provide the exact same wedding venue experience for a fraction of the cost. Click here to view our live booking calendar to browse available Thursday dates. For the ultimate price break check out the price on early spring and late fall Thursday dates.

Everything costs less on a Thursday.

One often forgotten perk is that hotel rooms even cost less for a Thursday wedding. Your guests will love that.

Schedule Flexibility

It used to be a challenge for people to travel midweek. It’s just not anymore.

So many people work remotely and are a lot more flexible.

People are looking for ways to have fun and make their weekends longer. Give people permission to take some time off of work and create an extended weekend.

No one is going to be mad that they came to your wedding and they get to have a long weekend. Seriously. No one. In fact, they’ll thank you for it.

A Unique Atmosphere

Thursday weddings possess a distinct atmosphere that sets them apart from the traditional weekend affairs.

There’s an air of excitement and anticipation as guests break away from their usual routines to celebrate on a weekday.

Your wedding becomes a highlight of the week, injecting a sense of joy and liveliness that your loved ones will cherish.

At Legacy Hill Farm couples frequently come back after their weddings for wedding anniversaries and stroll through the grounds. We recently had a couple visit for a wedding anniversary that were married on a Thursday many years ago and they are still raving about how it was the best decision.

A Non-Traditional Cool Factor

Thursday weddings have a “can we really do this?!?” non-traditional excitement factor that is pretty extraordinary.

It’s fun to break the traditional rules and create a modern experience that is 100% you.

Getting married on a Thursday allows you to mark your anniversary on a unique and memorable date. Instead of sharing your anniversary with numerous other couples who tied the knot on a weekend in your wedding year, you’ll have a date that is exclusively yours. It adds a personal touch to your love story and becomes a beautiful reminder of the day you began your lifelong journey together.

With You, For You.
