what is the Best Day of The Week for a Destination Wedding?

Written By Misti Marquette

A traditional home town wedding is usually held on a Saturday. When it comes to Destination Weddings you can throw that tradition out of the home town aluminum siding venue window.

After personally working with 900+ wedding couples in Mexico we’ve calculated that the average wedding guest stay is 4 nights. This means that no matter if you plan your destination wedding for a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday; you’re guest are will likely take off two week days.

Popular all Inclusive resorts like Secrets Moxche, Unico, Atelier, Garza Blanca, Grand Velas, Secrets Playa Blanca, Hyatt Ziva, Secrets Akumal and Hotel Xcaret Arte quickly run out of Saturdays during competitive wedding months. But the display below should explain why Saturday has no advantage when it comes resort weddings.

Anyway you slice it, wedding guest need two free week days. Having your destination wedding on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday does have a slight advantage because the average 4 night guest can choose to arrive two days early or depart two days after. Plus some resorts offer better deals for weekday weddings. Ask us which ones offer the promo!
