Sunday Kind of Love:
WHY SUNDAY WEDDINGS ARE A GREAT IDEA!
When it comes to choosing the ideal day for your wedding, Fridays and Saturdays have traditionally reigned supreme as the day of choice for tying the knot. However, in recent years, another contender has quietly emerged, captivating couples with its unique charm—the Sunday wedding. We’ve gathered our favorite perks of a Sunday kind of love, and why we think you will want to experience the sweetness of a Sunday wedding at The Prospect House.
A FULL WEEKEND TO EXPLORE AUSTIN
Hosting a brunch wedding can be more budget-friendly Scheduling your wedding on a Sunday allows for a whole host of wedding activities the weekend leading up to the big day! Saturday weddings can easily create a rushed visit when traveling for a wedding and will have them headed back home before they can see all the city has to offer. Start the weekend off with a Friday night get together for out of towners, and familiarize them with some of Austin’s best bites and sights. Spend your Saturday getting much needed rest, maybe getting a massage or taking a group yoga class with your bridesmaids, before an epic rehearsal dinner followed by your big day!
Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse for an extended weekend?! Couples can prolong the joyous occasion, enjoying more time with their loved ones without the pressure of having to wrap up the party prematurely. No Sunday Scaries over here!

BUDGET FRIENDLY

It's not uncommon for wedding venues to offer a discounted rate for Sundays in comparison to Fridays and Saturdays! Securing a better deal on the venue can help couples stick to their budget more effectively and have the ability to allocate funds to other aspects of the wedding or even splurge on something special.
BETTER VENDOR AVAILAILITY
One of the most practical reasons for opting for a Sunday wedding is the increased availability of venues and vendors. Fridays and Saturdays tend to get booked far in advance, sometimes years ahead, making it challenging to secure your dream venue or preferred vendors. On Sundays, however, there's often more flexibility in scheduling, allowing you to have a wider variety of dates to choose from in your desired season. This flexibility also extends to your selection of preferred vendors, allowing you to curate your special day exactly as you've always envisioned.

Who doesn’t love a wedding that stands out from all the other ones they have been to? A Sunday wedding allows you more room to take a less traditional approach to your wedding timeline. This could mean a Sunday brunch reception (Hello, mimosa bar!) and being tucked in bed by 9pm, or if you’re still wanting that same late-night party vibe, never fear - you can do that on a Sunday, too!
Sunday weddings provide the opportunity to cater to your individuality when it comes to your big day and create a truly memorable experience for you and your guests!
SWEETNESS OF SUNDAYS
Sundays in the South are an undeniable ode to romance. The sun seems to linger a little bit longer, the birds chirp slightly softer, and there is a palpable sweetness in the air- think big Sunday suppers with your loved ones, fall football, and all the Sundays in your life that have been all about togetherness and unwinding. Beyond all the logistical and practical benefits, there is an unmatched sense of nostalgia and warmth on Sundays, and we’re certain your Sunday wedding at The Prospect House will be the sweetest one yet.
At Prospect House we're committed to helping you create the wedding of your dreams, and a Sunday celebration could be the perfect choice for you.

So, whether it's a Saturday soirée or a Sunday celebration, the most important thing is creating a wedding that authentically reflects your love!
