Imagine a lovely romantic day in a beautiful setting with all your loved ones and friends present.  They’re all having a wonderful time, and you are stress-free.  Isn’t that what you imagine for your wedding day?

Why ruin the most magical and romantic day of your life, your wedding day, with a big elaborate affair?  A big wedding comes with stress, debt, and continuous planning.  There’s a much easier way at our small Long Island Wine Country wedding venue Arbor View House!

Big weddings may seem fun and romantic from the outside but let me tell you, once you’re embroiled in making one happen, those illusions are often quickly dispelled.  Of course, if money is no object and you’re interested in how good a show you put on, then, by all means, go right ahead.

You’ll probably prefer a more intimate wedding ceremony if you want to express your love and commitment without breaking the bank.

Inexpensive vs. Cheap

People often think that an inexpensive wedding means a cheap one.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  On the flip side, you can pay a lot for chintz!  Good things need not be expensive.

In other words, it’s not the money, but the style and care going into your ceremony that defines whether it’s “cheap” or not.

Intimate wedding ceremonies take less time to plan, with fewer details involved.  A choice like this means less stress and more flexibility when planning your ceremony.

A smaller guest list means a more intimate ceremony.  While sharing your special day with EVERYONE is tempting, those big crowds can be very impersonal.  You are more sure of connecting with your guests with a smaller group.  You’ll also be more likely to find a few moments alone with your intended, as well as more control over the feel of the wedding itself.  PRICELESS.

A smaller wedding can also mean more money for things like the photographer, catering, or a band.  Then again, maybe you can save it for your honeymoon or your new home together!

At the very least, you’ll buy fewer regrets with a small wedding.

Small Long Island Wedding Venue

Arbor View House Bed and Breakfast is your answer to the small Long Island wedding venue question.  We can help plan all aspects of your ceremony: from music and catering to photography and a wedding officiant.  Even better, our Long Island Bed and Breakfast can host many of your overnight guests for the event!
