The Midweek Wedding Revolution

Why Thursdays are the new Saturdays – and your secret to a stunning, stress-free celebration

For decades, Saturdays held the wedding crown – booked out years in advance, coveted like front-row fashion week tickets. But the tides are shifting. In a world where time is currency and privacy is power, midweek weddings are quietly taking over.

At Faithwood Chapel, we’ve seen it firsthand – and we’re here to let you in on the secret.

Thursday is the new Saturday

Here’s why couples are choosing midweek magic:

  • Availability – no 18-month waitlists

  • Affordability – premium styling and photography at weekday prices

  • Peace & Privacy – less foot traffic, less stress, more serenity

  • Golden Hour Glory – be married and head straight to the rooftops overlooking Henley to toast at Sunset

It’s not about compromise – it’s about clarity. Clarity around what really matters: your vows, your person, and a beautifully designed moment to honour both.

Weekday weddings are not a downgrade

They’re an upgrade – in style, in substance, in intimacy.

Imagine slipping into your outfit on a crisp Thursday afternoon, nerves buzzing just enough, sunlight pouring through our 9-metre arched windows. No chaos. No drunk uncle. No two-year countdown.

Just love – with perfect lighting.

It includes a celebrant, ceremony styling, and your legal paperwork done right. Think of it as the best-value vow you’ll ever make.

A better registry office alternative

Midweek weddings at Faithwood are everything the registry office isn’t:

  • A warm, stunning space that feels special

  • Polaroids, champagne, confetti – not a queue of strangers while workers file births, deaths and marriages behind cubicles

  • Your own love story, curated your way

We’re not here to replace the registry. We’re here to reimagine what it could be.

Who are midweek weddings perfect for?

  • Couples booking late (hello, 5-week NOIM window)

  • Queer and neurodivergent couples seeking privacy and ease

  • Re-marriages and second chapters

  • Secret weddings before the big party

  • Lovers who just want something beautiful – now

You're not behind. You're right on time.

Midweek weddings let you sidestep the rules and lean into what’s real. You’ll still get the “wow” – the aisle moment, the tears, the champagne toast – without the pressure, the cost, or the crowd.

Faithwood Chapel hosts weekday weddings every week – and they’re some of the most joyful, relaxed, and stunning celebrations we’ve ever seen.
