re: People who get married weekday evenings?

My oldest daughter is getting married in Healdsburg (Sonoma County Wine Country) in 3 weeks on a Saturday. To have the wedding on a Friday is -$1500, Sunday -$1200, weekday -$3000 for the venue. So if people are strapped for cash to have a reception any day but Saturday saves big $$$. Caterers, flowers and most things are the same no matter what day it is. Rentals (tables, chairs ect..) are about 25% cheaper during the week also.

For those parents who may be wondering what a wedding costs; a non-extravagant country wedding with about 230 guests is going to set you back about $50K. Every time I write a check I wonder if I should have made them get married on a Tuesday.
