When it comes to planning your dream day, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing the perfect date. While Fridays and Sundays are growing in popularity, there’s still nothing quite like a Saturday wedding. Saturdays bring a sense of ease and celebration that allows you, and your loved ones to be fully present, making every moment one to remember.
If you’re in the early stages of planning or even brainstorming wedding proposal ideas, here are some key reasons why a Saturday date might be the perfect fit for you.
Extra Time to Celebrate
A huge perk of a Saturday wedding is the ability to turn your celebration into an entire weekend event. With a Saturday ceremony, guests (especially those traveling from out of town) can arrive on Friday, enjoy the wedding on Saturday, and still have Sunday to relax. This creates more opportunities for connection and celebration, like a farewell brunch or time exploring the city.
You can host a rehearsal dinner on Friday night, a beautiful ceremony and reception on Saturday, and a relaxed brunch on Sunday, all at The Elm Estate. With our two-day venue access through the Diamond Package, you can make that vision a reality, giving you time to soak in every moment.
Easier Travel for Out-of-Town Guests
For many couples, guest experience is a top priority. Having a Saturday wedding makes it much easier for out-of-town guests to plan their travel. They can arrive Friday evening without taking too much time off work and enjoy a stress-free weekend of celebration.
If you’ve been browsing full-service venues, thinking about when and how you’ll celebrate with loved ones should also be part of the big-picture planning. A weekend date offers the flexibility and convenience that makes it easier for guests to say yes to joining you.
The Party Lasts Longer!
Let’s be honest, Saturday weddings are perfect for dancing the night away! Guests don’t have to worry about work the next morning, so you can enjoy your company late into the night. Enjoy your favorite people filling the dance floor, a signature cocktail from The Elm Bar, and late-night bites.
Looking for creative activities for wedding guests? With the Diamond Package, consider adding luxury enhancements like lawn games, perfect for keeping the celebration lively!
Soak In Every Moment
With a Saturday wedding, there’s no need to rush. You’ll have more time for slow wedding mornings, getting ready with your wedding party at the beauty bar and marquise room, while soaking in the small moments.
Our favorite tip? Take time for couple portraits, because those are often some of the only quiet moments you’ll share together on your day. While there are many wedding party photo ideas, we love seeing couples step aside to savor the beauty of their dream day.
A Relaxed, Enjoyable Timeline
One of the best parts about hosting a weekend wedding is the freedom to create a timeline that feels natural and unhurried. Want to spend extra time getting ready with your wedding party? Add a longer cocktail hour to mingle with guests? Incorporate fun wedding experiences? With a Saturday date, you can do so without feeling rushed.
At The Elm Estate, we love helping couples coordinate and design a seamless flow from ceremony to reception, giving you time to breathe, celebrate, and take it all in. After all, it’s your dream day and you should enjoy every second of it.
