Why a Monday Wedding Worked So Well
Weekday weddings are becoming more common among couples looking for a quieter, more flexible celebration, and Maria and Selwyn's Monday wedding at Black Walnut showed exactly why. With around fifty five guests and eight hours of coverage from midday through to evening, the day had all the depth of a Saturday celebration without the usual weekend rush.
Eight Hours, No Rushing on a Weekday
Both Maria and Selwyn got ready onsite before the ceremony, group photos, and reception all flowed through the afternoon and into the evening at Black Walnut, right through to speeches, cake, and dancing after dark. A full eight hours of coverage meant nothing about the day felt rushed, even scheduled on a weekday.
Choosing a weekday can also make the planning process feel more flexible, particularly when coordinating suppliers and allowing enough time at the venue. The important part is still a clear photography timeline, so preparation, portraits and the evening celebrations all receive proper coverage.
Considering a Weekday Wedding of Your Own?
If a weekday wedding at Black Walnut is something you're considering, Maria and Selwyn's celebration is a great example of how well it can work. There's something to be said for a quieter, less crowded date, and a venue with the right space and atmosphere to match. We'd love to hear from you if you're planning something similar.
