Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I really want a Sat. Night wedding, but it may not be financially reasonableat Carlyle.... 200pp dont thnk so
So then the choices of Friday night or Sunday night.
What would you prefer?
I'm confused, I think on Friday's people have to rush out of work to make it to the church and rush home, get changed and to ceremony. Don't forget about the Friday Rush Hour.... especially b.c I have a lot of people coming from Queens...
Also, I have been to Friday weddings where not many have showed up to the ceremony at the church.
or
Sunday night... but then are people going to leave early or be annoyed b/c they have to work the next day? They do have the day to get ready and travel to the ceremony/church, but they have to worry about getting up early the next day for work?

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I chose Friday night.
I would think about work the next day for a Sunday night wedding. IMO a Sunday afternoon wedding would be better than a Sunday night.
ETA: The reason I like Fridays is you can party late and sleep late the next day. The people who care will still come on Sunday, but maybe not party as hard/stay as late.

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
Keep em coming!
So far I am happy with what I hear... thank you so much...
I really want a Sat. night wedding but with taxes and grat. it comes to 200pp.... it's just too much.. and that is w/o adding vienesse or anything else I wanted!
I just had such a hassel leaving work early one day for a fri. wedding and was caught in traffic forever and a day... I don't want that for my guests.... but I also don't want them to be upset with a sunday wedding going to work the next day!

As Holly said
"Seriously, IF they want to be there, they will find the way"
That's how I feel, I chose a sunday nite wedding, and if people want to be there, they will be if not.. I'm not worried..

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I got married on a Friday night and we had a decent amount of people show to the Ceremony. Our Ceremony started at 4pm and recept at 7pm. Plus the people whom lived in the city or had to travel did not have to rush to get home. They stayed the night and still had sat & sun to relax.

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
In my experience, tbhe Sunday of a Holiday Weekend was as expensive as a Saturday night...
We were looking for the Sunday of Columbus Day Weekend....it was the same price as a Sat Night...

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I prefer Sunday evening -that way it is not a work day and people will be able to come to your ceremony in addition to your cocktail hour and reception -
There is a greater chance that people would just go to the reception if it were a Friday evening -
FOr Sunday - people may leave early - but at least everyone was there for most of the day - and the people that matter most will stay till the end!

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
Carlyle was way too much for me in the summer for a Sat. Night... as was Flowerfield.
Port Jeff CC was 139, with tzes 180 and if I want to add vienesee hour and others even higher.
Villas was 119- more affordable for Sat. night, but isn't me...
Still want to look at Watermill...... but prob. booking Port Jeff.

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I picked Friday.. Fh and I will be getting married on a friday too. Ideally, Sat. is best but toooo much $$$$. We have been to Friday and Sunday weddings. We picked Friday over Sunday because we found that the party ends earlier on a Sunday because of work the next day. When I went to the first friday wedding, I thought.. what a drag!! But, it actually was better than a Sunday IMO. Do what is best for you and FH. Your guests will come either way.. especially if they love you.

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
As a Sunday night guest all I would be thinking about would be working the next day.
We are doing Friday night at PJCC....we got $94.95 a person though but we booked last Sept.
I voted for Friday night.

I like a sunday night.
Me too! That's what we're doing. Not too much of a fan of Friday nights. It's rush rush and I never feel much like partying, I'm just tired from the day. JMO.
ETA: I just realized that you want a summer wedding. I'd definitely take the Sunday night then. Traffic going east on a Friday night is awful during the summer. Not only would a bunch of your guests miss the ceremony but they'd probably miss the cocktail hour and possibly part of the reception!

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
i would say friday night because i think in general fridays are easier to take off than mondays for those who have to travel a bit...
we were kicking around the same ideas and opted for a sunday brunch if we couldn't find a place to accommodate us on a saturday night. we had a lot of OOTers to consider, so we ultimately ruled out friday and sunday nights.

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I chose Friday night- Saturday is ideal. which is why it's expensive.
But IMO anyone who REALLY wants to be @ Chruch will be there, and the rest will come to the reception and you will see them all there. -
Personally, a Sunday night wedding kills me - you have to be @ work the next day so peopel are ruluctant to REALLY party, and tend to leave early

Re: Please Help Me.... As a guest, what would you prefer...
I see you picked July 4th weekend - i voted Sunday, just b/c the Friday traffic will be AWFUL. People will be late, etc.. If that weekend isn't a long one (i didn't check), what better way to avoid the usual Sunday nite traffic home than to stay at your wedding and party? JMO.. Good Luck!
