Weekday wedding

Hey Brides! Looking for advice on which weekday to pick for our small intimate wedding of about 30 adults and 4 children next October. Just our immediate family and closest friends and their plus ones. We chose our dream venue, a beautiful lakeside inn in upstate NY. We are renting the entire house for our family and they have other inns on the property to block for our friends. Looking at a mid-October date during peak fall foliage. However, the venue is a popular wedding weekend spot and has a Friday/Saturday/Sunday minimum that is far too high to meet for our guest count. Since we are trying to keep it small anyways, we figured why not just do a weekday! Thinking of the Monday or Tuesday of Columbus day so my niece, who is like my little sister and starts her freshman year of college next fall, can more easily attend. She already gets that Monday off and most colleges shes looking at have off Tuesday too. That way she might only miss one day or two of classes and already be visiting home. But I could do a Thursday the following week and she would still only miss two days but would have to travel home again. I am trying not to plan it all around her but I can't imagine getting married without her there, she's so important to me. I have a feeling Monday Columbus Day won't be available at this venue but I'll find that out tomorrow. Plus many people don't have this day off work anyways. Some of our family and friends live locally, some live in New England all within a 5-6 hour drive, two guests including my FH's only sibling lives in California. I know our siblings won't miss it and they are all for whichever day we choose. So has anyone ever had or attended a weekday wedding and have any suggestions on which day of the week would be more enjoyable. It's not a huge deal if some cannot come, the smaller the better for us but if our closest friends can make it, huge bonus! We will still have some music for dancing, lots of alcohol, a big amazing dinner, late night bonfire and snacks. It will be intimate, low key but hopefully still fun! Many of the guests will have to take off work the day after to travel back. I figured they would travel to the wedding the night before or early the morning of the wedding. Let me know what you think, thank you!!
