Trend Alert: Mid-Week Weddings!

Planning a beach destination wedding is very different from planning in your hometown. Although the distance can sometimes make planning a bit tricky, it also allows for flexibility and cost savings! How? If you are planning a summertime wedding in the Outer Banks, chances are that your guests will see that as the perfect excuse for a vacation :)

With the majority of accommodations in the form of vacation rental homes, our towns promote week long vacation stays. If your guests are going to be in town for a whole week anyway, why not have your wedding on a Wednesday? Mid-week weddings really allow everyone to get the most out of their trip. You get a few days to relax and get some sun before the big day, and a few more to unwind after! The best part? No one has to check-out by 10 AM the morning after the wedding, unlike with a Friday or Saturday night event!

Many of our great OBX vendors will also offer different pricing for non-weekend weddings. Being flexible on your date can save you money, so you can splurge on other areas, such as food & beverage, or tuck the savings away for your newlywed years!

Over the years we've seen the number of weddings on non-traditional days on the rise, and can see this becoming even more popular in the future! Start planning your Summer Mid-Week Wedding today - your personal wedding coordinator is here to help you every step of the way!
