How about a long weekend to enjoy your wedding?
As we all know, your wedding day will go by quickly, very quickly, too quickly…
So why not opt for a reception venue that can accommodate you over several days? That way, you’ll have plenty of time to prepare your room and decorations, and you’ll be able to prolong the magic of the moment by enjoying your loved ones for longer!
More serene and much less stressed, you’ll enjoy this unique moment all the more!
Exclusivity and tranquility: the benefits of a long-weekend wedding
Some reception venues can offer multi-day packages, and in many cases these venues can be fully privatized: this means you’ll have exclusive use of them for the duration of your wedding. Only one wedding is celebrated each weekend, so there’s no risk of having to leave quickly to make way for the next bride and groom. You’ll feel right at home!
On-site accommodation for you and your loved ones: a significant advantage
Let’s face it, there’s nothing more practical than being able to stay on site on the wedding day! This guarantees maximum comfort and privacy. This solution has nothing but advantages, both for you and for your guests. In fact, it’s now an essential selection criterion for many brides and grooms!
Some of your guests may have enjoyed the evening a little too much to take the wheel without risk. Some people dread driving late when they start to feel tired. If they’re staying on site, there’s no need to think about all that! They’ll be perfectly relaxed so they can party with you all night long without worrying about the time!
As for you, you’ll also feel much more secure in the knowledge that your guests won’t find themselves in situations that can sometimes be reckless…
Some reception venues even allow a few tents to be pitched: don’t forget to ask, as this can help out and appeal to younger guests!
Before D-Day: worry-free preparations
If you can arrive one or two days before the day of the reception, that’s ideal! That way, you’ll be able to fine-tune all the little details of your decor at your leisure, without having to rush. If you finish on time, you’ll even have some time to relax before the big day, surrounded by close friends and family… A dream come true, don’t you think?
After D-Day: time to relax
The advantage of a multi-day wedding is that the magic continues after your big day. Now that the stress has died down and you’re still on cloud nine, it’s the perfect opportunity to share a brunch with your nearest and dearest.
On the program: relaxation and rest! If you can, choose a venue with a swimming pool: you’ll be delighted to enjoy it right then and there! You can also organize activities for small groups: some reception venues can help you come up with original ideas (wine tastings, 2CV rides, horseback rides through the vineyards…) to suit your tastes.
And if your budget is a little tight and you’re worried that a multi-day rental is out of your reach, why not consider limiting the number of guests? By opting for a more intimate wedding with your closest family and friends, you’ll spend some particularly special and unforgettable moments with them…
