When one thinks of a wedding, the first few thoughts that come to mind are money, time and stress. How are we going to pay for this? How much time is it going to take to prepare and will I actually be able to plan this and not go insane in the process? These are all very legitimate concerns, which is why many brides and grooms to be are considering small wedding venues for their nuptials.
Small wedding venues are becoming more popular among today’s society. Not only because of money which is a huge concern but when having a smaller more intimate wedding, the money that is being spent can be used on more lavish wedding decorations rather than a huge guest list. Brides worry themselves to death with all the coordinating that is involved when having a larger wedding. Just a few concerns are the food and with so many people, how are you going to accommodate everyone? With a smaller venue, you can be more specific with your food and even consider a theme cuisine if you know everyone well that is attending. During the reception time, you can visit and talk more with the guests one on one and not worry about “did I get to thank Aunt Myrtle for coming?”
When having smaller wedding venues people are also able to choose more locations. If anything will keep your guest list down, it is the location. Tell people you are traveling 500 miles away to get married and start watching the list dwindle. People just can’t travel all the time. With the money that you can save having a small wedding venue, you can spend more on your honeymoon and will possibly be able to travel to somewhere that you would not have even considered after seeing the final bill for a larger wedding.
