Increasing numbers of brides and grooms across Texas are discovering what wedding professionals have been saying to you for decades: weekdays offer the best value in weddings without sacrificing one shred of romance or elegance. Just a few weeks ago, we had a beautiful Thursday wedding in which the bride walked down the aisle at Brandt 1910 in golden afternoon light, escorted by loved ones who wouldn't have been anywhere else in the world. It made for a spectacularly beautiful evening.
If you are considering a weekday wedding or just looking to get the best bang for your buck, look no further than Brandt 1910. The appeal of our historic wedding venue in Wallis shines just as brightly on a Tuesday as it would on a Saturday, and yields benefits that will make your heart sing for joy and your wallet a little happier, too.
Pricing Perks That Make Sense For Your Wedding Budget
The number one reason couples choose weekday weddings in Texas is due to the amazing savings. With our weekday wedding package rate at Brandt 1910, couples receive amazing discounts from weekend rates, which alone save couples more than 35%. Those are not just peanuts when you're fixing to spend the rest of your life together and about to shell out cash for the biggest party you may possibly every throw.
Savings extend much farther than just the venue. Wedding photographers, florists, DJs, and caterers often have weekday wedding packages that Houston brides and grooms can take advantage of. These wedding vendors typically have fewer Monday through Thursday bookings, allowing for better rates and better personal service. Even guest rooms are cheaper midweek, with local hotels offering lower prices that suit your out-of-town relatives and friends.
We recently had a couple that had $10,000 to spend for their wedding and by choosing a Wedding on a Monday, they were able to comfortably host all of their friends and family, have a fantastic DJ, an amazing photographer, a delicious cake, and more than enough food, all within that budget.
Will Having A Weekday Wedding Deter My Wedding Guests From Attending?
The answer: No. One of the things we tend to hear on tours at Brandt 1910 is the topic of guests. "Will anyone ever show up to a wedding on a Wednesday?" brides query us aloud when they're dreaming of their perfect day in our 4,000 square-foot ballroom.
The reality surprises most couples. If visitors are forewarned; a most common occurrence through save-the-dates sent out 6-8 months in advance—they're very empathetic and often excited. Most people with children have a lot going on during the weekend and, honestly, may relish the idea of taking work off the day after while the kids head back to school. Most professionals can arrange their days off with well-enough notice, especially for milestone activities. Some even prefer weekday weddings because it keeps their weekend days open to enjoy other hobbies and family pursuits.
Brandt 1910 couples repeatedly remark about attendance levels at weekday celebrations as high as or higher than they anticipated.
Vendor Availability Opens More Doors
Scheduling your fantasy wedding vendors is so much easier when you are free on weekdays. The best photographers and Houston DJs book the weekend dates 12-18 months ahead. Weekday weddings near Houston give you the best vendors with much shorter lead times. We’ve seen some of the most saughtafter caterers and photographers be get booked for a Thursday night wedding with only three months advance notice.
Honeymoon Timing Made Effortless
Weekday wedding packages that Houston grooms and brides choose offer perfect honeymoon timing. Leave your wedding reception immediately after your Thursday or Wednesday nuptials and reach your vacation place ahead of weekend travelers. Airlines have long offered lower midweek fares, which contribute to your honeymoon budget for upgrading and excursions.
And all this timing also means returning home before the following weekend, so you can get back to normal life without having to roll in Monday morning after a wild weekend wedding and brief honeymoon.Expedia has also noted that Wednesday departures can save travelers about 15% on domestic flights and 10% on international flights, compared to weekend flights.
The Intimate Ambiance Bonus
Weekday weddings possess an innate, effortless elegance that's attractive to many couples. Without any standard weekend whirlwind of consecutive events, your wedding is afforded singular focus from all vendors and service providers. Not to mention that you’re guests will most likely have less conflicting events on a weekday.
