    there is no one style that would do that, but you could use style 107 together with datename()

    select datename(dw,@date) + ', ' + convert(varchar, @date, 107)

    If you really need the month name to be full, then you would need to build up the string with multiple datename()

    Hope this offers some help....

    not if Chandru needs the month name to be the full name - that's the issue with the solution I posted.

    Oh... I see now.

    You want to have an extra space after weekday name.

    And you should be using Style 109 instead of 9 only, if you want century along with date.
