No matter what time of year, a wedding is a magical day for the bridal couple. But what if you have your wedding during the holidays when the sparkling lights and festive atmosphere lend their magic to the season?
Perfect Time for Big or Small Weddings
No matter what size wedding you’re planning, the holidays can be a perfect fit, and Legacy Stables and Events has a flexible venue to accommodate any type of wedding.
Interested in a small wedding? The days before Christmas, when the days are short and the nights are long, make twinkly lights and cozy interiors a perfect setting for an intimate wedding ceremony. Our wedding chapel could be just the right spot for a holiday-themed winter wedding.
Planning a big wedding? Choosing a date between Christmas and New Year’s lends itself perfectly to a black-tie event with a big band, lots of dancing, and classy cocktails. The Forsyth Barn and Grace Barn have plenty of space to accommodate all your guests and entertainment as well.
4 Benefits of Holiday Weddings
Whether your ceremony and reception will be big or small, there are some definite benefits to having a wedding around the holidays.
- Save money on flowers and decorations. Whether you’re having the ceremony at a church or an event venue, more than likely the place is already decked out with poinsettias, greenery, and plenty of candles. It makes the perfect backdrop for a wedding, without you having to do the work!
- Friends and family are already in town, with days off work. A lot of times if you want to have a wedding in our hometown, a lot of guests who have moved away will need to make plans to take off work and travel to your wedding. But if you plan the date around Christmas or New Year’s, there’s a good chance they were already planning to come home for family gatherings. So why not add your wedding to the list of fun things to do while home for the holidays?
- Great lighting for photos. The sunsets in winter are not only stunning, they come early in the evening! You can take advantage of the “golden hour” that makes a perfect backdrop for outdoor photos and still have plenty of time to get to your reception and dance the night away.
- You get the chance to incorporate a holiday theme into your wedding. If you have Christmas trees in every room of the house and start listening to Christmas music the day after Halloween, then planning a wedding around the holidays makes perfect sense. You can plan for all your favorite holiday foods and festivities at your wedding. Just imagine a reception where the DJ plays holiday music, from Bing Crosby to Mariah Carey, while guests sip on hot chocolate and eggnog. What could be more festive?
