Modern Weddings - Downsizing But Not Downgrading
For a variety of reasons that range from cost to a desire for an intimate and romantic experience, more and more brides are choosing smaller venues and inviting fewer guests.
- You get to celebrate one of the biggest days of your life surrounded by people you know well, and because the numbers are smaller – so is the budget.
- You can splurge a bit more on the quality.
- You can feel more relaxed on your wedding day. You’ll be surrounded by friends and family, you’ll feel more at home with your guests. Your wedding will feel more like a celebration with close-knit friends and family, than a production.
- You get to spend time with your guests. How many weddings have you felt that the bride and groom are struggling to fulfil their social obligation and don’t seem to really enjoy themselves?
- Small weddings aren’t like that. When the guest list is small, the bride and groom can spend time with each of their guests, making them feel welcome.
- And you have avoided that percentage of people at most weddings who almost wonder why they were invited in the first place, end up resenting being there and can’t wait to leave.
- When it is private and intimate it is more memorable and feels like a celebration.
- A Wedding House Party is different!
- Pick a Location where there is plenty to do for your guests and they pay their own way for other activities – Kinsale is known as the Culinary Capital and the heritage town has all sorts of attractions including wonderful walks, shopping, water based activities, golf etc and most importantly is easily accessible.
- Small weddings require less planning which hopefully means less stress.
- They allow you to spend a little more money on the important things like food, entertainment and your honeymoon.
- Beyond sharing the most important day of your life with a small, intimate group of friends, a small wedding allows you the freedom to focus on those areas of the wedding that are most important to you and might otherwise have been out of your reach or a budget breaker.
- By having a Destination Wedding in Ireland you avoid the extra hassle, cost and unpredictability of long distance travel. People can still look forward to a weekend away in Kinsale!
