Friday or Saturday? 💍 When it comes to choosing your wedding date, there isn't one right answer.
A Friday wedding can mean a lower venue cost, more date flexibility and more room in your budget for the details that matter most to you. It also leaves the rest of the weekend open for brunches, gatherings and more time with the people you love. 🥂
A Saturday wedding offers easier scheduling for most guests, more setup flexibility and priority access to onsite lodging at Retreat 21. For couples planning an elaborate setup or a full wedding weekend experience, those perks can make a big difference. ✨
So which one is right for you?
We've broken down the biggest differences between Friday and Saturday weddings, including cost, guest schedules, setup time, onsite lodging and more, to help you decide before you start touring venues.
