Late morning/early afternoon wedding?

Hey y'all, my fianc and I want to have our wedding on a Saturday but we know its the most expensive... However, I noticed that some places rent out their venues at a cheaper rage if you have it early on in the day. I've never been to a "day" wedding before. Is this uncommon for couples to have their wedding during the day? I was thinking of maybe serving brunch with mimosas and other light drinks if my fianc agrees. Any thoughts? If it is a good idea, can anyone suggest venues? We are trying to keep costs somewhat low and we'd like to have it in October of 2013. Thanks ladies!

Re: Late morning/early afternoon wedding?

  • I've been to a couple of day weddings. They were fun! It can be cheaper if you have it at snacktime rather than mealtime, also people aren't inclined to drink as much during the day.
  • Thanks ladies for all of your advice!!
