I was looking into pricing for our guests about a month ago and our travel agent told us that it wouldn’t make a difference on room rates for weekdays vs. weekends - at least at the Divi resorts. Also, we had a better chance of getting non stop flights during the weekend then on the weekday from NY to Aruba and that nonstop flights, at least from NY from Aruba, would be the same cost if it was a weekend or weekday (if available).
We decided to have ours on a Monday for a few reasons:
- Guests have the option of arriving in on a Saturday (or even Sunday if money is tight) and could attending the wedding Monday and leave Tuesday. This way only two work days are missed. We were actually going to have it on Sunday so people would have the option of only missing one work day but the city hall in Aruba is actually closed on Sunday so that would make our wedding date different from our ceremony date (something you may want to keep in mind).
- The Saturday weddings incur extra fees (for both the civil and the beach ceremony) and since our budget is really tight, we opted to go with a weekday.
Hope this helps!
