My budget will aonly allow us to have a friday night wedding or a saturday daytime.Which do you think would be better enjoyed?I am leaning towards the friday night because i want the night time ambiance.Opionions please will be greatly appreciated.
I am FRIDAY NIGHT!!!! Can't wait. I think of that night as a party night and that's the atmosphere I wanted.
I am having a Saturday day wedding becuase I feel like people still have the night and its nov. and it gets dark early!-but if you are going for the night time setting then go for Friday night! People do work that day though-but whatever!
We picked Friday night, we like the night time atmosphere, our cocktail hour starts at 8:00 which many have told us that that is too late but I think it will give people enough time to get ready without having to leave work early and so what that the party runs till 1:30 in the morning most of our guests don't work Sat.
I've been to both and both have their merits. If the place for the day wedding offered something that could be enjoyed in the daytime - scenery, I would go day, otherwise Friday night
i am doing it on a Friday night & I am saving a lot of money by doing that. I think a Friday is fine -- i agree with jennbaby those who want to be there will be sure to make it! Maybe you can also ask your family/ loved ones for their opinion...
How many people on your guest list are from out of town? For people traveling, it would be much harder to come on a Friday. They would have to miss work. A Saturday daytime wedding is much more convenient for travellers. If your guest list is all local though, go for Friday night, it does add ambiance!
I say pic the day that is best for you. Like you said you really like the evening ambiance. People will come no matter what. I mean I would not miss a friend's wedding just b/c it was on a Friday night.
We had a Friday night. We went to a Saturday day wedding and they sometimes have to rush you out for the set-up for the next wedding.
I really do not think the day or what time of the day makes any difference. If you have boring people, who will not get up and dance then it could be midnight. If you have a happening crowd and it is 6am, you will have a party. The DJ or band has to have their stuff together too, they will make or break your event. We had a Saturday afternoon wedding and this was by choice and the General Mgmr or Chateau came in to watch all the happenings, he said he has never heard a day time wedding so pumped. Its all in your crowd and your DJ. So pick the day and the time that works best for you and your FI
Just wanted to add, I did go to a daytime wedding and I had a good time. There is just something about nighttime weddings that I love.
I agree with Shamma,it depends on the dj and the people.If you have duds,they will be duds no matter what time or day you pick.
I say Friday night.. I like the evening ambiance. Saturday afternoon is not the same or as dressy IMO. Also, if you are the 1st booking in a hall (they have 2 on Saturdays) they will be pushing you out the door so they could get the room cleaned & turned around for the Sat night.
For even a better rate, look into the night before Thankgiving. It is a Wednesday and it is the biggest party night of the year. Most people have the 4 day weekend. It was recommended to me by a DJ.
