Trend Alert: Mid-Week Weddings!

Planning a beach destination wedding is very different from planning in your hometown. Although the distance can sometimes make planning a bit tricky, it also allows for flexibility and cost savings! How? If you are planning a summertime wedding in the Outer Banks, chances are that your guests will see that as the perfect excuse for a vacation :)

With the majority of accommodations in the form of vacation rental homes, our towns promote week long vacation stays (Check out our list of Corolla's best vacation rental companies at the end of this post!). If your guests are going to be in town for a whole week anyway, why not have your wedding on a Wednesday? Mid-week weddings really allow everyone to get the most out of their trip. You get a few days to relax and get some sun before the big day, and a few more to unwind after! The best part? No one has to check-out by 10 AM the morning after the wedding, unlike with a Friday or Saturday night event!

Many of our great OBX vendors will also offer different pricing for non-weekend weddings. The Currituck Club offers a discounted facility fee for weddings Sunday-Thursday! Being flexible on your date can save you money, so you can splurge on other areas, such as food & beverage, or tuck the savings away for your newlywed years!

Over the years we've seen the number of weddings on non-traditional days on the rise, and can see this becoming even more popular in the future! Start planning your Summer Mid-Week Wedding today - your personal wedding coordinator is here to help you every step of the way!

Happy Planning!
