The Allure of Saying "I Do"

Weekday Weddings: Exploring the Advantages: Weekday weddings are becoming increasingly popular for couples seeking a more intimate and cost-effective celebration. Here are some advantages of choosing a weekday for your special day:
  1. Availability: Weekdays often have more availability for venues and vendors, allowing you to secure your dream location and services with greater ease.
  2. Cost Savings: Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa, like many venues and vendors, offers discounted rates for weekday weddings, helping you stay within your budget while still having the wedding of your dreams.
  3. Intimacy: Weekday weddings tend to be more intimate, with a smaller guest list of close family and friends, allowing you to spend quality time with each guest.
  4. Unique Experience: A weekday wedding offers a unique experience for you and your guests, creating memories that will last a lifetime. A round of golf or FootGolf on award-winning golf courses, a hot air balloon ride, trekking with goats, or horseback riding are just a few of the activities available to entertain your overnight guests before or after the wedding. All that awaits at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa and nearby.

Planning a Holiday Date for Your Wedding: If you're considering a holiday date for your wedding, weekdays offer a unique opportunity to celebrate on a day that holds special significance to you. Here are some weekday holidays to consider for your wedding:
  1. St. Patrick’s Day: Embrace the luck of the Irish with a St. Patrick's Day wedding filled with greenery, Celtic traditions, and festive celebrations.
  2. Valentine’s Day: Celebrate your love on Valentine's Day with a romantic wedding filled with hearts, flowers, and sweet gestures.
  3. Memorial Day Weekend: Kick off the summer season with a Memorial Day weekend wedding, complete with a patriotic theme and outdoor festivities.
  4. 4th of July: Say 'I Do' on Independence Day with a patriotic wedding featuring fireworks, red, white, and blue decor, and a festive atmosphere.
  5. Halloween: Host a Halloween wedding filled with spooky decorations, costumes, and a touch of whimsy.
