Most people do tbf and those who work wkends usually work over the 7days so can switch their days without using annual leave.Yeah but not everyone works mon-fri. You can’t please everyone planning a so might as well suit yourself.

I work alternate weekends, good luck trying to get someone swapping to work their weekend off!Most people do tbf and those who work wkends usually work over the 7days so can switch their days without using annual leave.
Ok its a million years since i worked a Saturday but can you not just request nicely not to be rostered that wkend??Most people do tbf and those who work wkends usually work over the 7days so can switch their days without using annual leave.
No you are not guaranteed you will be able to swap your days with someone. So if you really want to make sure you can go, you have to use annual leave to guarantee you will be off.
Thats actually really sad that none of your collegues would swop with you for a wedding .I work alternate weekends, good luck trying to get someone swapping to work their weekend off!
tbf when you only get every second weekend off people don’t want to give them up it actually works out that you’d work 3 weekends on the trotOk its a million years since i worked a Saturday but can you not just request nicely not to be rostered that wkend??

Anyway im derailing dim doms thread now
Agree. My sister chose to take a mid week date at her venue rather than waiting 3 years for a Saturday. The rates were a set price 7 days a week? No discounts at all. Didn’t hear any complaints and most attended, very small list of declines. Didn’t seem to bother anyone. Her now husband runs a bar so it suited them and a lot of their friends in the industry too.There is no difference in price, I was married mid week because the wait for a sat would’ve been ridiculous, doesn’t cost the venue less to supply food, pay staff etc mid week as opposed to weekends so it’s there’s no discount for midweek. Also plenty of people work weekends, myself included and have had to take time off for weddings. Life doesn’t work on a mon -fri basis I’m afraid.
Greasy’s venue, virgina park lodge charges way more for weekends too. It’s crazy! That alone would turn me off booking a place, what a rip off!There was a big price difference at my venue for Mon to Thurs weddings and then more expensive for Fri to Sun weddings. Also more expensive for summer than out of season weddings. That was the case with a lot of hotels we viewed.
I think Covid disrupted all that for alot pf places. They charge full whack 7 days a week. Might change again once the backlog is cleared. Back to them trying to encourage people booking mid week again.In the vast majority of venues there is a very significant price difference for midweek and weekend dates.
It’s nothing to do with costs, that’s no how business works. Venues can make greater profit on high demand dates by charging more for the same service.
I think the Irish hospitality industry has gone mad. I’m abroad and flights back are only €350 and I can’t find a week’s accommodation for less than 2K. Bad time to buy a house and get married I suppose. It’s no wonder everyone has to emigrate, the cost of getting married and buying a home has become unattainable. They’ll always charge what they can. I remember getting weekend breaks with B&B spa included for less than €250 pre 2017. Hopefully she’ll get some freebies to offset her costsAgree.

She needs to concentrate on her relationship journey to make sure she makes it up the aisle this timeA bridal skin journey. Have you ever heard such shite.
I just came on to say this exact thing, “bridal skin journey” - nonsense, just laughable actually, who thinks of this shite!?A bridal skin journey. Have you ever heard such shite.
It's because they are too in their own heads to actually listen to the lyrics and what they mean, they pick out one word, ohhh flowers, pretty! like Sarah Burke with Isle of Hope ooooh hope! Without realising it makes no sense for the purpose they are using it forAnd of course it’s Flowers by Miley Cyrus. Not an original thought in her head. The worst song in the world that for some reason the huns keep using
