Weddings at a Bed and Breakfast Venue are charming variations on the theme of Hotel/Motel accommodations. The very personal ambiance of a home-setting hosting the ceremony and reception delights more and more families and bridal couples. But the great additional convenience is that  there are a bevy of  important, though secondary events that can also be hosted on the grounds, patios, decks, or buildings which a commercial property can never match.

It is almost like being at home, but without the stress of  arranging your personal space for a Bridal Shower, a Makeup Session, Yoga or Massage just before the ceremony when your body cries out for tender, loving, hands-on care. The Rehearsal Dinner can also be managed at the site since you are tented for the Big Event anyway. This works especially well, if the Wedding Venue has something like an additional Carriage House. But any B&B who legally caters to Weddings, can do most of these smaller affairs in the Public Rooms of their establishment. Of course, you must arrange this added use with your Caterer, because there will be an extra set-up and re-prepping for the Wedding on the following day.

Most delightful is the Bridal Shower if the bride is local and many of her friends and attendants live in the immediate area. This affair lends itself to self-catering or pot-luck refreshments while the gifts grow into piles of beautiful packages with ribbons and bows.  Since the Shower is always some time in advance of the Big Day, personal decorations  permit the Hostesses to  show off their expertise and creativity. It is another day of fun for all.

The pre-dressing  get together is perfect for an added bit of therapy. Yoga and Massage relax as nothing else can. And if the bridal attendants are staying at the B&B, everything is ideally located for pressing, primping, gazing in petticoat mirrors, and working with a Makeup Artist to be sure all faces and other exposed body parts are polished and perfumed to perfection.

Actually, whatever intimate and personal matters need attending will find their perfect site in the ambiance of  the Little Wedding Venue that has the patina of personal history and hospitality. If you need it to happen, a Bed & Breakfast Wedding  will assure the perfect outcome.
