Intimate weddings have become an unexpected consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic. Couples are spending less money entertaining their guests so they can add more frills to their celebration.

Smaller-scale weddings offer couples the opportunity to splurge on luxuries that they may not have been able to do with larger gatherings.

With the backlog of postponed events, the next few years are going to be busier than ever. Couples planning to get married in the next 12 to 24 months still need to secure the date. COVID restrictions are changing, sometimes daily and I can help couples through the confusion.

Some couples are planning a smaller celebration and if they can, expanding the guest list closer to the date. Other couples are throwing two parties; an intimate one now, and a grand celebration when it is safe to do so.

Stay Safe…As a united community, we will all emerge stronger from this crisis.
