Friday Weddings
Weddings are most popular on a Saturday, mainly due accommodate guests travelling from interstate and work commitments. Fridays are becoming increasingly popular as a wedding day for numerous reasons. A wedding on a Friday can be extremely special and just as monumental as a weekend wedding.
Weddings on a Friday may be a lot easier to coordinate as Saturdays can be booked out well in advance for venues, entertainment, celebrants and catering companies. Fridays will give you more flexibility also for those planning a last minute function or event.
If guests invited are mostly local Fridays can be very accommodating as they can travel after work for your wedding. Friday evenings are very social in Australia and a great night to celebrate, especially for a wedding.
The wedding reception can be planned for early evening with a reception to follow for you and your guests to enjoy. Finger Foods can be served for social events, and a buffet dinner is great to follow for a substantial evening dinner. Buffets are great as they allow guests to choose the options most suited for them, and allow for difference in quantities for each guest.
Your wedding cake or dessert can be served to follow. If you catering company are supplying desserts, you may choose to cut and serve the wedding cake later in the evening with tea and coffee as your function winds down.
Entertainment can be a great option and can range from live musicians, DJ or Juke Box. Everyone loves to enjoy themselves at weddings and functions, and music is a great option for entertainment.
Party Hire can be delivered the day before or on the day for your function setup. Fridays can work extremely well for party hire, as you may have more choice and options than Saturdays if booking last minute.
Friday weddings will allow you to enjoy the weekend with family and friends that have travelled to your wedding or you can make the most and start your honeymoon early with a weekend getaway or travel overseas.
Lunch the following day is very popular for those with large weddings. This will allow you a chance to sit down relax and spend more time socialising with guests that you may not have had a chance to on your wedding day.
Take advance of the benefits of a Friday wedding, and you may be surprised with the outcomes for your function or wedding.
