49% of Irish people would adjust their wedding reception schedule to accommodate a major sporting event according to a new survey just released by HenParty.ie, and amidst a Summer jam-packed full of sport, could we see a lot of receptions being rejigged?
The team at HenParty.ie surveyed 100 people from across Ireland on their thoughts regarding the big day and large, sporting occasions - The results are surprising!
Hometown Pride
On top of this, a huge 82% of respondents noted that they would be more inclined to allow a sporting event to be shown if it featured their own home county/team.
It's been a huge Summer of sport so far and it's only going to get bigger ahead of the All-Ireland Finals. As we all know the Summer is peak wedding season and there are always a few clashes between someone's special day and a final of some sort. We've all seen the phones out on the table during the speeches or people sneaking out to the hotel bar to catch the last ten minutes - it's a real issue for a lot of people! So, it's not surprising to see that some people would rearrange the day to allow a match being shown.
