Why Oklahoma Couples Are Booking Weekday Weddings (And Loving It)
Weekday Weddings Are No Longer “Non-Traditional” — They’re Smart
Across Oklahoma, more and more couples are choosing weekday weddings—and not because Saturdays aren’t available. They’re choosing them because the benefits are dramatic: lower costs, more availability, less competition for vendors, and a more relaxed overall experience.
At Rose Briar Place, we’ve seen a major rise in weekday bookings among couples who want a beautiful, affordable, and stress-free wedding without compromising on style or experience. And with our all-inclusive approach, weekdays make planning even easier.
If you're newly engaged and starting your venue search, here’s why weekday weddings might be the smartest decision you make.

1. Weekday Weddings Save Couples Thousands
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a weekday is the significant cost savings.
Most Oklahoma venues (including Rose Briar Place) offer reduced rates Monday–Thursday, allowing couples to:
Choose a higher-end package
Add dream elements they thought they couldn’t afford
Book sooner rather than waiting a year for a Saturday
Allocate budget to photography, florals, or honeymoon upgrades
For brides on a budget — or brides who want luxury without the price tag — a weekday wedding instantly stretches your wedding budget further.

2. Weekday Dates Offer More Flexibility (And Better Availability)
Saturdays in Oklahoma book fast — often 12–18 months in advance.
Weekdays, on the other hand, give couples:
More date choices
Shorter lead times
Prime season availability (hello, fall weddings)
Access to highly requested times of year without the wait
If you want a 2025 or 2026 wedding without a long engagement, weekdays make it possible.
3. Your Dream Vendors Are More Likely to Be Available
Photographers, videographers, florists, DJs, and caterers often book weekends first.
Weekday weddings open the door to:
Your first-choice vendors
Better scheduling
Lower travel or delivery costs
A smoother planning process with less back-and-forth
At Rose Briar Place, we also provide trusted vendor recommendations to help fill any gaps — especially for couples booking shorter timelines or weekday events.

4. Weekday Weddings Feel More Intimate and Relaxed
Couples are surprised by how differently weekday weddings feel.
Guests who attend weekday weddings tend to be:
More intentional with their time
Excited to celebrate
Focused on the couple rather than the “party”
And because weekdays are less rushed for venues and vendors, the entire day tends to run smoother.
5. They’re Perfect for Smaller Weddings or Micro Weddings
If you’re considering:
a micro wedding
an intimate celebration
or a short engagement
— weekdays are ideal.
Rose Briar Place hosts weekday and micro weddings often, and couples love how much value they receive without sacrificing elegance. Our décor, linens, centerpieces, day-of coordination, wedding cake, and MC all help weekday weddings feel full and complete—even at a smaller scale.
6. Guests Attend More Often Than Couples Expect
There’s a misconception that weekday weddings hurt attendance—but real Oklahoma wedding data says otherwise.
Guests attend because they love you, not because it’s a day of the week.
And when the venue is easy to get to (Rose Briar is minutes from downtown OKC), weekday weddings become extremely convenient.
Plus, guests often enjoy:
Avoiding crowded weekend travel
A fun break in the middle of their week
Smaller crowds and smoother experiences at hotels and restaurants
