A weekday wedding at Saxon Manor gets the same room, the same team, and the same price as a Saturday one.

Saxon Manor doesn't run a separate weekday package. Book the Manor Barn or Garden Room for up to 150 guests, or the BoHo for up to 55, and the price sits in the same $9,500–$21,000 all-inclusive range whether the ceremony is on a Tuesday or a Saturday. What changes is the calendar, not the contract. We're currently booking 2026 and 2027, and weekday dates in a given month are usually easier to secure than weekend ones because most couples default to Friday or Saturday. If your guest list is flexible on timing, a weekday date is often the fastest way to get the room, month, and year you actually want. Ask your planner directly which months still have weekday openings before you commit to a weekend search.

The trade-off is guest logistics, and it's worth planning for directly. Brooksville sits about 45 minutes from Tampa and 90 minutes from Orlando, so most of your guest list is already driving in from one of those two areas. On a weekday, some of them will need to request time off work, arrange overnight childcare, or decide whether to drive up the morning of. Say so plainly on your invitation or wedding website: give the ceremony start time early enough in your planning that people can request the day off, and mention nearby lodging if you expect guests to stay over rather than make the round trip same-day.

Coordinating vendors is usually the hard part of a weekday wedding, and it's the part Saxon Manor removes. The package brings the ceremony, reception, design and coordination, chefs, bar and event staff, photographer, DJ, cake, and officiant under one roof, so you're not chasing eight separate businesses to confirm they can work a Wednesday instead of a Saturday. One team, one schedule, one point of contact. That's the difference between a weekday date that feels like a compromise and one that runs exactly like a weekend wedding would — see what's included for the full list of what's already handled.

A weekday ceremony can start earlier than a Saturday one, and that's worth using. Guests who drove in that morning often prefer an early afternoon ceremony and dinner reception, rather than waiting until evening. Talk with your coordinator about start time before you build the rest of your timeline — photography, cocktail hour, and dinner service all shift around it. The three-room Bridal Cottage is available for getting ready regardless of the day, so there's no separate weekday version of that part of the schedule. What matters is deciding the day's shape early enough that your photographer and DJ can build their own timelines around it. That's one less decision to make on a day that already runs on a tighter guest window than a weekend.

Vendors outside the package — hair, makeup, transportation — are the ones most likely to have weekday availability questions, since many work Saturdays as their default. If you're bringing in anyone beyond the Saxon Manor team, confirm their weekday schedule before you finalize your date, not after. The in-house florist, Enchanted Design & Floral, works on the same calendar as the venue, so floral timing isn't a separate conversation. The fewer outside vendors you're syncing to a weekday, the fewer places a schedule can slip. This is one more reason an all-inclusive package works in your favor on a weekday date: most of the moving parts already answer to one calendar instead of several.

Saxon Manor only does weddings, and that matters most on a weekday. A venue that also runs corporate events or private parties has to juggle those bookings against yours; a venue that does nothing else doesn't. Being family owned means the same team that walks you through planning is the team on-site the day of, whether that day is a Saturday in June or a Tuesday in November. That consistency is what makes a weekday date feel like a full wedding day rather than a scaled-down version of one — the price you're quoted is the wedding you get, regardless of what day it lands on.
