How big is the price difference between a Friday evening reception and a saturday evening reception? What are the main reasons for the difference?
At my place-John Anthony's it was a $20 per person difference...I went w/ the Friday!
At my place there was a difference of $50/person and a 50 person minimum. I chose a Friday night.
Ours was a $30 difference, and the minimum was much higher for a Saturday. It is real nice to have a Saturday night wedding, but not enough to put yourself in debt. We choose a Friday night wedding.They are getting more popular, hope they dont start raising the prices for a Friday night!!
theres the price difference because its not as convenient, because people work on fridays. usually its also a little later.
I actually went looking at halls insisting on a sat night and ended up booking a sunday afternoon - go figure!!!
My hall was only a $10 difference, but in the overall scheme of things, that adds up. We figured if we go with a Fri night, we could use the 'saved' money on the DJ or flowers. And anyway, with a Friday, the people you REALLY want at the ceremony will be there - no matter what.
I chose Friday evening b/c it was $20 less per person than a Sat. eve.
We actually ended up choosing Thursday night, July 4th b/c it was $13 cheaper a person than a sat night.
