2020 has been an amazing year in many respects, but as we are all well aware, it has also been a year full of challenging circumstances.

Weddings are magical events, a time for togetherness with family, friends, fun, and community.  COVID-19 has been challenging those circumstances, but with creative solutions and a sprinkling of patience, weddings at The Van Dusen Mansion have not only been able to continue but are turning out to be even more memorable than initially planned.

Here’s one way we are making that happen at The Van Dusen Mansion!

PETITE WEDDING FUN

Intimate weddings, also known as Petite Weddings, are a way to connect on a deeper level with guests on your special day. Have you ever been to a wedding but only gotten a quick hello and goodbye with the bride and groom? You were probably happy to share their day with them but didn’t get much quality time with the couple. If you want to truly celebrate your day with each individual guest, and ensure that everyone gets to spend time with each other, then a Petite Wedding is the way to go. 

The day is only so long and there is only so much time for the ceremony, pictures, food and drinks, and all of the traditional wedding activities. Having a more intimate wedding means giving yourself the space and time to actually interact with your guests. 

You won’t have to worry about pictures taking too long and not being able to see all of the special people you’ve chosen to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Instead, there will be plenty of time to meet, greet, celebrate, and have fun. Which is really the point of the day, right? You’re celebrating the joining of two lives and two families. Of course, you should have fun!

We are here to make it easier for you!

While you may not be able to have your entire guest list present, you can also still invite them all to celebrate with you! Live stream your wedding day, and consider creating a virtual event for those family members who can’t travel. Let us know what means most to you; our team is here to handle all of the details for you.

YOUR EVENT WILL BE ONE TO REMEMBER
