What is the most expensive day to have a wedding?

Saturday is the most expensive day to marry in the UK. Most couples want a Saturday, so venues and caterers charge a premium for that day. Fridays and Sundays are usually cheaper, and some venues offer lower rates for weekday weddings. Bank holiday weekends can also be pricey, as many couples book them for the long break. If you are flexible, ask venues for their weekday or off-peak rates. Some suppliers, like photographers and florists, also charge less for non-Saturday dates. Remember that a Sunday wedding may mean guests need to take the Monday off work, so weigh the savings against convenience. Also, some religious venues only hold weddings on certain days, so check with your place of worship. For civil ceremonies, the register office or approved venue will have its own pricing structure. Always ask for a full quote before booking, and confirm what is included. A Friday wedding can feel like a weekend celebration, especially if many guests live nearby. If you choose a less popular day, you may also find more availability for your preferred venue and suppliers. That can be a bigger win than the cost saving alone.
