5 Reasons You Should Consider a Micro Wedding at Normandy Farm
You said YES! Congratulations!
Now it's time to plan the "Big (or Small) Day."
Are you picturing a grand wedding with all of your friends and family? Maybe the sheer thought of that is overwhelming and you’d prefer a smaller and more intimate celebration. Continue reading to discover if a micro wedding is more your style.
In the age of student loan debt, social distancing, and a variety of other factors, micro weddings have become chic and trendy. An intimate wedding keeps the guest list small but affords you the opportunity to create the celebration of your dreams as well as an exceptional experience for your nearest and dearest guests.
Below are the top five reasons a micro wedding might be your perfect fit…
1. Budget
Your first task as an engaged couple is to compile your guest list together. This, in itself, can be overwhelming, especially if you are paying for all of the elements of your wedding. Who makes the cut? Then you start to wonder how you are going to pay for 150+ guests. With a micro wedding, you control your budget by condensing the guest list to only your close family and friends. In doing so, you free up funds for the details that are most important to you. Maybe you've been dreaming about out-of-season florals or the high-end photographer whose photos you can’t stop scrolling through. A micro wedding allows you to control costs where you need to so that your creativity and personal style can shine where it should.
2. Unique Venues
With a smaller guest count, you have the flexibility to explore more artistic settings and backdrops. A circular ceremony allows each guest to have the best seat to witness your “I do’s.“ How about adding lounge furniture to your reception for a more comfortable and relaxed vibe? When you have 30 guests, think outside the box and skip the traditional side by side seating. Explore venues that wouldn’t have otherwise been an option with 200 people. The Farmer’s Daughter at Normandy Farm offers the Orchard Room for groups of 42 or less with a swanky lounge area attached, complete with overhead twinkle lights and a fireplace for a romantic and intimate setting.
3. On-Site Lodging & Accommodations
With any wedding, onsite lodging makes for an incredibly convenient experience for guests. You can create an entire wedding weekend experience without leaving the venue. For micro weddings specifically, you can select a bed and breakfast or a boutique hotel without worrying about room availability. Normandy Farm’s unique Carriage and Manor Houses have 9-11 suites each, perfect for a 20-person celebration.
4. Customizable Menu
With a traditional wedding, chefs prepare dishes in bulk, so as a result the menus can be restrictive. A more intimate affair allows you the opportunity to customize every aspect of the menu you are offering your guests. If you would like to surprise your guests with a tasty treat during your ceremony, have it. If you'd like to offer a cocktail specific to your favorite liqueurs, go for it! You can even make your reception a multi-course wine dinner! It’s all possible. Our team at Normandy Farm will ensure your wedding is memorable for years to come.
5. After Party Options
After the party, it's the after party! Once you have finished the last piece of delectable wedding cake, your crowd will still want to keep the party going. You want to enjoy more time with each and every one of your guests—after all, that’s one of the perks of limiting the guest count. At Normandy Farm Hotel and the Farmer’s Daughter, the festivities don’t have to end - with an outdoor and indoor bar, you can continue into the wee hours of the night.
At the end of the day (or night), your micro wedding can truly be everything YOU have dreamed of. Every detailed decision is yours, and with customizable options for smaller parties, a micro wedding at Normandy Farm and The Farmer's Daughter may just be what you've been looking for all along...
