Easter Weekend Wedding

I've no idea if your suppliers would charge extra, but another thing to consider is whether it might impact on your guests being able to come. Some sectors which get very busy over Easter may restrict employees being able to take annual leave then (I had to miss a cousin's Easter wedding a few years back because I couldn't take time off). Also, accommodation and flights are usually more expensive and accommodation can get booked up very early, so something to consider if you have guests travelling long distance or guests who might need to stay over.

I dont charge more for a bank holiday and I havent really heard about suppliers who do have such a policy. But I will say that bank Holidays are the most popular wedding dates and out of them all I would say that Easter is the most popular followed closely by August then the rest.

You should have no problems with suppliers not wanting to work on the Saturday.

One thing I would note is that if you want a church wedding. Some churches won't do weddings Easter week. I initially wanted to get married on 13th April this year however my church doesn't do weddings over the whole Easter holidays. We chose a June date instead but just something to consider.

View quoted message Thank you! We hadn’t thought about the time off thing but we’ve since checked with people who have limiting jobs holiday wise and they’ve all said it would be fine as it’s so far in advance & our venue is a hotel who are giving us discounted rates for rooms so accommodation etc isn’t a worry too much.

View quoted message Thank you, that’s really helpful! We are hopefully securing our venue in the next couple of weeks so I’ll be mindful of booking suppliers early as I didn’t realise it was such a popular weekend.

View quoted message We will be having a civil ceremony at the venue so don’t need to worry about the church, although we are checking with religious family members before we actually book anything just to make sure they’re comfortable/happy with the date!

We got married good Friday this year and had no issues. I wasn't charged anymore from suppliers for it being a bh apart from maybe local taxi companies as my venue had no accommodation. I gave my travelling guests 18 months notice so they had no issues booking accommodation and getting time off work and all my days guests we invited came

I am an Easter 2024 bride. As of yet, I have no experienced any additional chargers. Have booked photographer, makeup and hair so far.

You may encounter some suppliers who are not willing to work on Easter Saturday or may charge extra fees due to the holiday weekend. It's best to check mylifetouch with your preferred suppliers and ask if they have any special arrangements for Easter weekend. It would also be helpful to book your suppliers well in advance to ensure availability.

I’m getting married Good Friday 2024. I am paying slightly more for the registrar because it’s a BH but no one else has charged anymore. The Saturday isn’t a bank holiday so you should be fine in that regard!

I’m getting married in Easter Sunday next year and haven’t experienced any more in price increases, family can make a weekend of celebrating and travelling to Venue
