Just got back from visiting a venue and it's the 1st place we really fell in love with (after seeing 7 places). The wedding coordinator was so sweet, it's beautiful, and price is FANTASTIC, for both Fridays and Sundays (the days we prefer). However, dates are really limited (like only 4-6 dates left for Fri/Sun). The Sunday price is nearly $20 cheaper than Friday, but it's a 6-11:30pm wedding (with another Sunday brunch wedding before, that probably ends at 4 or 5pm).
Has anyone ever been to a Sunday night wedding? Did most people still come? Did it seem like people were holding back if they worked the next morning?
Our parents are not thrilled at the idea of a Sunday wedding, but to be honest I wouldn't mind trying to deter some guests from coming (our list is already around 250, but we only want 175)!

Another Sunday bride here! Don't you worry one bit we get caught up trying to please others when the real goal should be pleasing your husband and yourself.

People will complain no matter what. Do what you want on the day you can afford. That extra $20pp extra for 175 people is $3500!! That's alot that you could put toward something else! The people who matter will be there no matter what and have a great time.
This! I know if I had a wedding to attend on a Sunday I'd be there with a smile and have the same amount of fun I would on a Saturday or Friday. Again, you will NEVER please everyone.

My fiance best friend got married on a Sunday in April of 2013and it worked out just fine! It ended late, too! I didn't notice anyone leaving early and at the hotel afterwards the bar was PACKED out with everyone from the wedding.
My FH and I are getting married on a Sunday, too. The people who will want to be there, will be there! Don't stress! It is all going to work out :).

we recently went to a wedding on a Sunday night and we loved the people so we made it a priority to be there! We LOVED the wedding, everything was perfect and the people that HAD to leave a little bit early did- but most of the people stayed :D

I went to a Sunday night wedding in the middle of June, and I am a teacher, so I could not take off the Monday after, with all the end of year stuff going on it is very frowned upon. I remember being happy that it ended early, around 11-11:30 because, honestly, I am never asleep before then. I did hold back on drinking a little but was still out on the dance floor the whole night. I was not angry or annoyed. I think once people are there, they will have a good time, no matter what. It didn't seem like anyone was holding back on dancing and having a great time.

Just booked and we went with Friday instead (we ended up getting it for close to the same price as the Sunday night!) I imagine Friday will be the opposite b/c everyone will want to let loose after the work week lol
