The Rise of Midweek Marriage

Why weekday weddings are the smartest choice in 2025 and 2026

Once upon a time, Saturday was sacred.
Now? Wednesdays are winning.

At Faithwood Chapel, we’re seeing a bold shift - stylish, intentional couples are choosing weekday weddings. And they’re not just making it work - they’re making it wonderful.

Why couples are going midweek

For modern lovers, priorities have changed. They’re skipping the traditions, ditching the stress, and focusing on what matters most - marrying each other, beautifully and affordably.

Midweek weddings offer:

  • More flexibility – Choose your dream time, not what’s left.

  • Better light – Golden hour waits for no one, but weekday evenings are often cooler and quieter.

  • Lower costs – No premium venue pricing or vendor surcharges.

  • A slower pace – Fewer back-to-back bookings means more attention, more ease, more intention.

Enter: Love Fool

Our most-loved weekday package, Love Fool, is everything you need - no fluff, no fuss.

At $2849, it includes:

  • A trusted celebrant (yours for legals, paperwork and heart)

  • Two-hour exclusive use of the chapel

  • All Dressed in White styling – our signature white florals

  • Chapel coordination and expert hosting

  • Confetti exit and celebration guidance

It’s poetic, practical, and wildly romantic.

Who chooses weekday weddings?

  • Second-timers and seasoned romantics

  • Couples with kids, who prefer a quieter celebration

  • Lovers with house deposits, IVF bills or travel plans in mind

  • Secret elopers and surprise nuptials

  • Queer couples rewriting the rules

These are couples who want to be married - not married off.

And midweek? It gives them space to do just that.

Faithwood: built for better timing

With availability across 7 days, we’ve designed our calendar to accommodate every kind of couple. Whether you want a quiet morning or a golden afternoon, we’ll help you find your moment.

Because the best day to marry isn’t always a Saturday -
It’s the one you say yes to.
