Weekday weddings: good or bad idea?

Is it really reasonable to organize a wedding during the week? And what if it were, on the contrary, an excellent idea? At Le Château, we’re welcoming more and more future brides and grooms who dare to leave the beaten track to celebrate their union… from Monday to Thursday!

The advantages of a weekday wedding

1-More availability for your dream venue.
On weekends, the most popular reception venues are often booked well in advance. Getting married during the week means you have more free time. Sometimes even at the last minute, while keeping your heart’s desire intact.

2- More accessible service providers
Photographers, caterers, DJs… Their schedules are generally more flexible during the week, so you can work with the ones you really want, without compromise.

3- Attractive rates
A weekday wedding can often be more economical. Some service providers apply lower rates outside the weekend, which can free up budget for other desires: a live band, fireworks, next-day brunch…

4- A more intimate, relaxed atmosphere
A weekday wedding generally attracts the guests who are closest to you, the ones who really care about you. The result: a celebration that’s often more intimate, authentic and convivial.

    Points to consider

    1- Guest availability
    Not everyone will be able to make themselves available in the middle of the week. This may require a little extra organization, especially for those who need to take a day off or arrange childcare.

    2- Advance planning is key
    To maximize the presence of your loved ones, it’s important to give them plenty of advance notice. A “save the date” sent several months in advance is essential.

    3- A shorter evening?
    Some people may have to work the next day… But this doesn’t have to be the case! It’s perfectly possible to create a festive and unforgettable atmosphere, even in just a few busy hours.

    Our team is fully mobilized to make your weekday wedding as magical as a summer Saturday. Idyllic setting, flexibility, tailor-made support: everything is in place to offer you an exceptional day (or evening), whatever day you choose.
