On St. Patrick's Day afternoon of this year, I was honored to marry Darren and Julie in a small and intimate ceremony in the Penthouse Suite of The Sorrento Hotel.Darren and Julie did everything right. We worked together to create a ceremony that fully included their children - one that appropriately recognized the beloved young adults in their lives and at the same time a ceremony that celebrated their unique partnership and bond.
If you are planning a small and intimate wedding ceremony, here are a few tips to consider:
- 1) Consider being married on an "off day." Plan your wedding on a day early in the week - you'll have more choices for a venue and you'll also save money.
- 2) Use your ceremony as a ritual of celebration and joy. Yes, this is true for hopefully all wedding ceremonies. However, with a small gathering, there is more opportunity for personal recognition of all gathered for the moment.
- 3) Enjoy a fabulous meal afterwards. In lieu of a wedding reception or larger party, I married a couple today at The Willows Lodge who took their 15 guests across the street for a marvelous and memorable evening dinner fest at The Herbfarm. So, whether it's brunch or dinner, and in lieu of a larger party, splurge on a fabulous meal and fully enjoy the experience.
