Rescheduling to a small intimate ceremony

Have you tried the Cliff House? They have some smaller rooms so maybe you could Abe your ceremony and dinner there?

View Quoted Comment Just reached out! Thank you

View Quoted Comment It’s very pretty there- good luck!

Hi!! How do you know they’re only allowing 50 people in August?! Did they already announce that? We are in Ohio and have not heard anything beyond May 12th at this point. Our restaurants are not even open to take dine-in reservations. I would imagine if yours are open, they would work with you.

Just stopping in to say how lucky you are to be a Maine bride!!! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Congrats ❤️

View Quoted Comment Our governor issued a reopening plan. Right now it’s gatherings of less than ten, then July and August will be gatherings of less than 50, then unknown after August.

View Quoted Comment Oh nice! I wish our governor would issue something like that. We’re in the dark lol Good luck to you ❤️

We planned an intimate wedding from the get-go before Covid and are hopeful we can still have our celebration and gathering in October.

We had to get a little creative because most venues would not host our couldn't accommodate a wedding our size (30 guests).

We found an AirBNB that would allow us to have the ceremony on a very beautiful property. We will stay and get ready there as well. We found a venue that has a bakery/cafe that closes at 3:00pm and they cater so we could have our reception/dinner there.

Hi Emily! Since all wedding venues will also be held to the same restrictions, I imagine everyone will be coming up with new modified wedding packages!!

I think looking at local restaurants with private dining rooms is a great idea! You should also look into historic inns and houses that can be fully rented out, and country clubs and hotels that also have smaller event rooms. You can also use the 0-99 maximum capacity filter in WeddingWire's local venue search to look at some places that always do smaller celebrations:
