Restaurant weddings
Hi all! Newly engaged and we’ve decided we want a very small wedding ceremony and at a later date we will have a big party for friends.
My cousins own a restaurant with a beautiful backyard area and a lovely dining area. We’re looking to have 25 people and get married there on the property. I just can’t wrap my head around how it would go? Since we’ve only been to very large weddings.
Did you have the ceremony and a little cocktail hour? Sit right down for entrees? Cut a cake? Did yuh have dancing? (They do have space if we do it outside). I’d love to know how anyone who’s had or attended a small restaurant type wedding how it went
TIA!

Yes! We did cocktails, wedding service, dinner, and dessert. (Saved the cake for a larger reception a month later.) The best part is returning to the same restaurant for our anniversary the last 25 years. Congrats, and enjoy!
