Weekday Weddings at Willowdale Estate

Break tradition without sacrificing elegance. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels more intimate, relaxed, and uniquely yours, a weekday celebration at Willowdale Estate might be the perfect choice for you and your loved ones. 

Based in the scenic North Shore of Massachusetts, Willowdale Estate offers a timeless setting that becomes even more magical during the week. Increased flexibility and opportunities to elevate your overall experience are just a couple reasons why weekday weddings are quickly becoming a favorite for couples. 

 

  1. There’s more time for you to enjoy the seasonal details.


    Locals know the weather all too well. Especially during the New England fall and spring, there’s a small window where the foliage is at its peak and the temperature outside is completely comfortable for guests. Booking a wedding on a weekday leaves more time for couples to enjoy the weather and the greenery that comes with autumn and spring. It’s not too hot or too cold, and you can book the tent for an outdoor ceremony & reception if the weather permits.
     

  2. You can build the wedding team of your dreams, without conflicts.


    Weekend weddings mean less availability for potential wedding service providers like florists, photographers, makeup artists, and so much more. Weekends book fast in this industry, so this leaves a ton of room for wedding pros to celebrate your big day with you during the week. You can book all of your first picks!
     

  3. It’s budget-friendly, without sacrificing the bells & whistles!


    At Willowdale Estate, a weekday wedding can stretch your budget much further. Since the venue costs are lower, you can add all the upgrades your heart desires without breaking the bank. This includes add-ons like getting ready time in the Coach House, lighting and décor enhancements, and more fun food & drink options.
     

  4. Weekday weddings are easier on your guests’ wallets, too!


    Things like airfare & accommodations cost less during the week. Our sister property Briar Barn Inn is 10 minutes down the road from Willowdale, and offers top tier hospitality & comfort at a discount on weekdays! Plus, less demand for flights means lower costs for those travelling from out of state.

 

At the end of the day, a weekday wedding at Willowdale Estate is a different vibe, in the best way. It’s a little more relaxed, more personal, and often, a lot more memorable. If the idea of a quieter, more intentional celebration in a beautiful setting speaks to you, a weekday could be the perfect way to make Willowdale Estate your choice for your wedding day.
