Whether it be a date that is special to you or a month that you have your heart set on, a Thursday wedding undeniably gives you a better chance of getting exactly what you want. Moreover you will also have more options when it comes to vendors! The vendor that you have been eyeing down for months is probably booked on Friday and Saturday, but they can accommodate you on a Thursday. 

 3. Can Extend Celebration into the Weekend with Thursday Weddings

Lastly, the party doesn’t have to stop on Thursday! Your Thursday wedding can kick off the entire weekend of celebration. Some of your guests will be coming from out of town; you’ll have more time to spend with those guests before your honeymoon. After your wedding, your guests can enjoy and celebrate the newlyweds on our local Jersey Shore filled with fun activities for all ages, including local beaches, parks, restaurants, boating, and fishing destinations.

4. Travel is Easier & More Affordable

Undoubtedly a big concern for a Thursday wedding is the inconvenience it may cause for out-of-town guests. Surprisingly that isn’t always the case! Furthermore your guests will find cheaper airfare and hotel prices when they book their fares for Thursday! Your Thursday wedding will begin their weekend and give them more time to relax for the duration of the weekend.

5. The “It” Factor 

2021 had been the year that is filled with weddings every weekend! A Thursday wedding is untraditional and projected to be the next big thing in the wedding industry! Considering many of your guests have never attended a Thursday wedding, this gives you the chance to stand out. A Thursday gives you the perfect “it” factor and allows your wedding to stray away from tradition.
