SMALLER is BETTER
50% of couples are paying for their own weddings! Yes a fact and trend that is making intimate weddings popular especially for the bed and breakfast industry.
Remember the saying, 'You can't be all things to All People'? My mother use to tell me that frequently, and for good reason. Well that is a rule of thumb B&B's follow. You don't normally see bed and breakfast promoting 200 person weddings, unless of course they have a ranch or a farm. They are normally known for intimate affairs which means a small group of people gathered together for a small celebration. Bed and breakfasts are a PERFECT fit for those intimate celebrations. Many instances allow for the wedding couple to rent the entire house for one or two days if having guests attend.
Another fact is, couples looking to elope are on the rise again. A B&B allows for an intimate celebration where the couple can have a stress free ceremony and quite often the innkeepers are the witnesses. The couple can choose to have a party when they get home. The innkeepers are already in the know about who to order flowers from, or trusted caterers to use, or hairstylists to book an appointment with in their community.
Another advantage is background, a bed and breakfast is a beautiful property already, and it takes very little decorating. Some are historic and have beautiful backyards and lovely gardens. They are a photographers dream come true!
The morning after the wedding the couple is served breakfast and continued to be pampered. The bed and breakfast is perfect for a honeymoon stay and no rushing, it can be your wedding and honeymoon all in one! Stay, relax and be calm, smaller is truly the way to say "I Do"!
