Has COVID-19 affected your Central Florida wedding or event? You are not alone.  Those who had to postpone their party/reception planned for April, May and even June, are finding rescheduling a bit tricky.  

“Statistically speaking, more and more couples are shifting their weddings to alternative days of the week. According to our internal data, about 21 percent of couples with weddings in 2020 already plan to move their receptions to a different day of the week. Furthermore, between the months of May to December 2020, over 63,000 couples have now set ceremony dates for Mondays,” according to a recent article in The Knot. 

Change It Up!

According to The Knot 2019 Real Weddings Study, weddings outside of Saturdays already accounted for one in three nuptials in 2020. This means couples were already opting for a Sunday through Friday date for their ceremony this year. We predict this stat will continue to rise.

Couples, then, should be open to other days of the week—specifically, Mondays. Since it immediately follows a weekend, guests from out of town are able to travel in and get settled before the wedding ceremony. Plus, you’ll also be able to greet them properly and perhaps throw a warm welcome party where loved ones can imbibe and truly take in the locale.

A Monday wedding also increases the likelihood your original team of star vendors will be available. “Your event planner, venue, caterer, photographer and floral designers are your team. They want to make your wedding your dream day,” says event planner Perotti. “The dream might be slightly re-imagined, but it’s your dream, nonetheless.”

Finally: With everything that’s occurred in 2020, many will crave socializing and reconnecting at your wedding… regardless of the day of the week. “When this is all hopefully over, people will be so excited to celebrate with friends and family,” New York-based event planner Laura Remmert. “Most won’t care if your wedding is on a weekday.”
