When it comes to planning the wedding of your dreams, it’s easy to get swept up in traditional thinking – a weekend celebration seems like the obvious choice. However, more and more couples are discovering the many benefits of hosting their big day on a weekday, and we think it’s an option well worth considering! A midweek wedding could offer you a magical experience with unique perks that weekend weddings just can’t match. Here’s why a midweek wedding at The West Mill could be the perfect fit for your celebration:
1. Availability & Flexible Dates
Weekend dates, especially Saturdays, tend to book up quickly. However, when you look at midweek options, you’ll find far more availability, which means less stress about securing your dream date way in advance. Whether you’re envisioning a sun-soaked summer wedding or a crisp autumn celebration, you’ll have a wider range of dates to choose from.
2. Significant Savings
Who doesn’t want to make the most of their wedding budget? Midweek weddings are often significantly less expensive than their weekend counterparts. With suppliers, photographers, and florists likely to offer discounts on midweek services, you can achieve the same luxury experience for a fraction of the cost.
At The West Mill, our venue hire prices are considerably lower midweek – but you won’t compromise on quality. This means you can enjoy all the elegance, exclusivity, and attention to detail we’re known for, while freeing up more of your budget to spend on those special touches – like upgrading your honeymoon, or adding that show-stopping floral arch you’ve been dreaming of!
3. A More Intimate and Relaxed Vibe
Weddings, especially large weekend affairs, can sometimes feel rushed and hectic. A midweek wedding, on the other hand, often has a more relaxed, intimate atmosphere. At The West Mill, nestled beside the calming waters of the river Derwent, the midweek setting enhances this serene feeling.
With fewer people competing for venue space, traffic, or accommodation, your day will feel more personal. Our riverside views provide a natural, scenic backdrop, ensuring that your midweek wedding has an organic, effortless elegance.
4. Availability of Top-Tier Suppliers
It’s not just venues that get booked up early for weekends. Top-tier photographers, florists, hair/makeup artists, and entertainers are often in high demand. Opting for a midweek wedding means you’re more likely to secure the suppliers you really want – the ones who will make your day truly special.
At our Derbyshire venue, we’ve built strong relationships with a network of recommended suppliers, all of whom can offer their expertise midweek, helping you create the perfect celebration, without compromising on any of the details.
