Friday Wedding Dates: The Hidden Gem of Wedding Planning


When couples first start planning their wedding, Saturdays tend to get all the attention. It’s the traditional choice—and it’s no surprise that Saturdays book up quickly, especially at popular venues like ours. But here’s the thing: Friday weddings come with a whole list of perks that couples often overlook. If you're planning your big day, don’t sleep on the idea of a Friday wedding—it might just be the perfect fit.

1. More Availability at Top Venues and with Favorite Vendors

Let’s be honest—peak Saturdays can be booked a year (or more!) in advance. By considering a Friday, you're more likely to snag your dream venue and your top-choice photographer, caterer, florist, and more. At The Market at Grelen, our Friday dates tend to have more availability, especially during spring and fall when Saturdays are in high demand.

2. Make It a Wedding Weekend

One of the best things about a Friday wedding? It gives you the entire weekend to celebrate. Host your ceremony and reception on Friday, and use Saturday for a relaxed brunch, winery tour, or even a casual BBQ with family and friends. Sunday becomes a bonus day to unwind or open gifts. A Friday wedding turns your celebration into a full weekend experience—without the pressure of cramming everything into one day.

3. Cost-Effective Without Sacrificing Style

Fridays can often come with cost benefits. Some vendors offer discounted rates for non-Saturday weddings, and more availability often means less stress and fewer rush fees. You still get the same level of beauty and service—just with more flexibility and potentially more room in your budget.

4. Travel-Friendly for Out-of-Town Guests

If your guests are traveling, chances are they’re taking time off work anyway. A Friday wedding allows them to arrive Thursday, enjoy the wedding Friday, and still have the rest of the weekend to explore the area or travel back home at a relaxed pace. With more time built in, your wedding feels like a mini vacation for everyone.

5. A Unique, Memorable Vibe

Because Friday weddings are a little less traditional, they often feel fresh, relaxed, and fun. Guests are usually excited to kick off the weekend with a celebration—and you’ll be setting the tone for their entire weekend. Plus, having your wedding on a Friday means every anniversary weekend will feel like a special kickoff to a few days of fun.

I’ve always thought Saturday weddings were the only real option, but the idea of having the entire weekend to celebrate after a Friday ceremony sounds amazing. It really takes the pressure off and lets everyone enjoy the time together. And honestly, planning a wedding feels a bit like playing Geometry Dash Lite—timing and rhythm make all the difference!

I really like the perspective on Friday weddings—it feels refreshing and practical at the same time. Having more flexibility with venues and vendors while still creating a meaningful celebration is such a smart idea. It also makes me think about the little details that make weddings unique, like the jewelry couples choose to wear. I’ve seen how a silicone ring for women can be a perfect choice for brides who want something comfortable and stylish, especially if they lead an active lifestyle. It’s those thoughtful touches that add both beauty and practicality to a special day.
