Intimate Cocktail Hour-Meets-Ceremony

“Our ceremony was wonderful and personal,” Amanda says. “We initially wanted to do a private ceremony but family convinced us otherwise, and I am happy that we listened to them.” Before the couple’s intimate ceremony, they welcomed guests with a cocktail hour and oldies music. “This gave us a chance to welcome everyone personally and enjoy the first rounds of food and drinks. It also calmed our nerves about the actual ceremony and made it feel more personal and casual.”
