Some couples are quick to lock themselves into a date for their wedding day before searching for the perfect venue but this will limit the options around you. By limiting yourself to a specific date, season or day of the week, you might risk settling for a venue that you wouldn’t have naturally been drawn to, rather than finding the space that feels right for you and your partner! So trust us when we say it isn’t worth settling when there are so many benefits to non-Saturday options!

Here are 5 reasons why saying "I Do" on a Tuesday (or Wednesday, or Thursday...) might be the best decision you make:

1. Budget-Friendly Bliss

Weddings are expensive, there's no way around it. But choosing a weekday can significantly reduce costs. The Merrimon-Wynne House in Raleigh offers discounted rates for all-inclusive weddings held during the week. This means you can potentially allocate your budget towards those dream floral arrangements or an extra hour of open bar!

2. Vendor Availability

Popular wedding vendors, especially in peak season, get booked up quickly. By opting for a weekday, you'll have more flexibility and a wider selection of photographers, DJs, and florists to choose from. This ensures you get the dream team you deserve without compromising.

3. Intimate and Exclusive

Weekday weddings tend to have a more intimate feel. Your closest friends and family are more likely to attend, creating a truly special and personal celebration. You'll have more quality time with each guest, making your day even more meaningful.

4. Availability of Your Dream Venue

That stunning venue you've been eyeing might have a long waitlist for weekend dates. Choosing a weekday dramatically increases your chances of securing your preferred location. If The Merrimon-Wynne House in Raleigh is your dream venue, contact us today to book your weekday wedding!

5. Extend the Celebration

A weekday wedding allows you to extend the festivities! Plan a relaxing brunch the day after, or even turn your wedding into a mini-vacation for you and your guests. With less pressure to rush back to work, you can truly savor every moment of your special time.

When you look back 10, 20, 30 years from now, you will not think about the day of the week or even the time of year that you got married. You’ll remember the memories made, surrounded by your loved ones, in a place that felt like home to you - even if for just one night. Take the pressure off, book those venue tours and let the spaces speak for themselves! We promise you will thank us when you make your final decision!
