Why Thursday Weddings Are the Secret to a Stunning, and Affordable, Barn Wedding in Northamptonshire

At Brampton Grange, we’ve seen a growing trend that we absolutely love: Thursday weddings. More and more couples are choosing midweek celebrations....and with good reason.

If you’re dreaming of a beautiful barn wedding but want exceptional value, incredible supplier choice, and a relaxed, long-weekend atmosphere, a Thursday wedding might just be your perfect match.

Better Pricing, Same Beautiful Day
One of the biggest advantages of a Thursday wedding is cost. Venue hire is often significantly lower compared to prime Friday–Sunday dates, which means your budget stretches further without compromising on the experience. Whether you want to enhance your décor, upgrade your menu, or simply save for the honeymoon, Thursday gives you financial breathing room.

More Supplier Availability
Midweek weddings open up a whole world of options when it comes to suppliers. Photographers, florists, stylists, caterers—many of the most sought-after professionals are booked months (sometimes years) in advance for weekends. A Thursday date means you’re far more likely to secure your first-choice dream team, ensuring every detail is exactly as you imagined.

A Built-In Long Weekend for Guests
While some couples worry about guests taking time off work, Thursday weddings often turn into a wonderful excuse for everyone to enjoy a long weekend. Many guests love the idea of taking Friday off, giving them extra time to celebrate, relax, and make the most of the occasion. And for those travelling in, it’s far easier—and usually cheaper—to book accommodation or transport midweek.
