# How to Set Weekdays + Specific Weekend Date

> Configure a weekly schedule plus exceptions for specific one-off weekend dates.

**1️⃣ How to set weekdays + specific weekend date**
This configuration allows you to offer **regular weekday availability** while also adding **a specific weekend date** for a one-time event, workshop, or special session.

It’s perfect when your service usually runs Monday to Friday, but you occasionally want to open bookings on a **specific Saturday or Sunday** without affecting your regular schedule.

**🧩 When to Use This Setup**

Use this configuration if you want to:

* Keep a **consistent weekday schedule**
* Add a **one-off weekend event**
* Avoid changing or disrupting your regular availability
* Offer workshops, classes, or special events on specific weekend dates

**📲 Step-by-Step: Configure Weekdays + a Specific Weekend Date**

**🗓️ Configure Your Regular Weekday Availability**

In your existing availability block:

   * Leave Saturday and Sunday **unchecked**

This ensures your regular weekday availability stays active and unchanged.

**🎉 Add a Specific Weekend Date**

Click **Add availability** to create a new availability block.
Set the **Title** to something like **Weekend** (internal use only).
In this new availability:

* **Deselect all weekdays**, including Saturday and Sunday
* Enable **Specific dates**
* Select the **exact weekend date** you want to offer (Saturday or Sunday)

Set the **time slot(s)** you want to offer for that specific date.
Click **Save** to apply the changes.
