# 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

### **🗓️ Configure Your Regular Weekday Availability**

* Select the **exact weekend date** you want to offer (Saturday or Sunday)

12. Set the **time slot(s)** you want to offer for that specific date.
