Opinions on Sunday Weddings

Sunday weddings are fine but guests might need to leave early. I had my wedding on a Sunday but it was Labor Day Weekend so most people had the next day off.

Hate them.

We do them every week, morning and night.

Can you do a holiday weekend as mentioned above? We are doing the sunday of Memorial Day weekend and it seems to be working out for everyone.

Mine is Sunday but its a brunch wedding over by 5pm-everyone seems excited about it. BUT if you want an evening wedding, change venues or what about Friday night ?

I really don't like Sunday weddings. They never have a wedding feel. They just feel like you went out to eat and are awkward.

That's pretty late. Heck I think even 7 is pretty late. I would look for a new venue. If that venue is the only one that you can afford or want, then I'd move it to a Sunday brunch or early dinner... OR like some have said - move it to a Sunday evening where most people have Monday off from work (like labor day).

Not a fan of Sunday weddings. I think they are inconvenient, but I get why people do it to cut costs. It seems like the cost savings are not a factor since you were already planning to do a Saturday and you didn't say anything about being in love with the venue, so I would find a new one.

We're getting married on a Sunday, but we're having a semi-DW so either way people needed to take time off work (if we got married on Saturday, people would need Friday off to travel). The benefits of a Sunday wedding is that other vendors can be cheaper. In your case (given the option of a really late Saturday wedding or a Sunday wedding), I'd say either go for the Sunday wedding or find a different venue. If we were getting married locally we'd probably have a Saturday wedding.

As a guest, if I had to choose between starting at 9:00 pm on a saturday or an earlier sunday wedding I would choose the Sunday, hope that helps

I have no problem with Sunday weddings. Actually majority of the weddings I've been to have been on Sundays and they were all great. Not sure if the older crowd would have a problem with it but I think it's fine

I wouldn't have any problem at all with that. I, personally, prefer to relax on Saturdays and like to have my obligations on Sunday. I also have no problem getting drunk and going to work the next day though.

How many guests do you have flying in? I would also start earlier in the day for Sunday and have the thing done by 8 assuming it's local

Daytime on Sunday would be lovely!

I am having a Sunday wedding. It's dinner, but the reception will be ending early. I think Sunday weddings are good as long as you end early, or you understand that some people will leave early if your event does go late.

We are having ours on a Sunday but it's a destination wedding . Saturday was too expensive and it was much easier to get the vendors I wanted . I don't mind Sunday weddings but I'm not a big drinker so I wouldn't be concerned about having a hangover for work.

This is a 'know your crowd' thing. Are you wanting a party atmosphere, with people staying late and drinking? If so, do you think your guests (based on age and job schedule) are going to want to party on a Sunday night? Sundays are usually better for a mid-afternoon, laid back vibe wedding...are you worried your guests will find that boring? Personally I don't see anything wrong with Sunday weddings, but its going to be different than a Saturday wedding. Base your decision on what you want and what kind of party you want to host for your guests.

ETA: oh and consider OOT guests too, and factor in their travel time.

We're getting married at 2p.m. on Sunday. Our family and friends are pretty much up for a good time any day of the week. We wanted more of a weekend event with the finale being Sunday.

I wouldn't mind. I would just request the next day off.

I am having a Sunday wedding, but in the monday after is a holiday.. plus my wedding is a DW so people will need to have the time off anyways.
