Would a Tuesday or Wednesday wedding in August be reasonable?

Ideally want to get married in August , it's a small 20ish people wedding . Found a gorgeous venue , August suits us as my DS is of school and we can go on a nice holiday before he's back at school to celebrate. The room I like for the wedding breakfast has no availability for Friday , Sat, Sunday until Nov which doesn't work as I like the idea of summer weather , holiday etc.

I've found a week in August that everyone attending is around , but my only options are the Monday - Thursday . The Thursday the registatar can only do 11 am or 5pm. Or the Tue and Wed 1 pm or 3 pm and the Monday at 3pm. Ideally I want the 1pm but wondering if a Tues or Wed is an awful day for a wedding.

The Monday a week earlier is available at 1pm , we are on n holiday until the Sunday but wondering if that's my best option. Any opinions appreciated!

Excellent! Sounds like it's all working out well for you. Low stress is definitely the best option.

With only 8 weeks notice and peak holiday season people may struggle to find people to feed pets, board dogs as well.

I've asked all the people we would definitely want there , all are fine and no one has a problem.

I hope you have a lovely wedding OP.

Wednesday in August has a good chance of dry weather.
