No question about it. Big weddings can be a scary thing to plan. Many couples start out planning a large wedding, only to find themselves overwhelmed by the various demands of family, friends and associates. They tell me that their budgets exploded and they became frustrated that "their" wedding became less about them and more about everyone else. This is probably the main reason couples choose a destination wedding in Key West.
A small, intimate wedding for 2 to 100 guests can be far more personal and budget friendly than a 500 person affair that includes guests you hardly know and are less likely to remember. When you're making wedding plans please consider these thoughts. It is your wedding and your memories. There is one chance to get it right and to get it your way. Whether you decide on Conch Concierge or another wedding planning service, your decision must reflect your tastes, your ideas, your budget and your style. The friends and family you invite would most likely be happy anywhere, so long as they are with you. Those are your closest friends and family. If you choose a simple, tropical wedding on a local beach or garden, they'll be overjoyed...not because of the location...but because you've invited them to share this special time with them.
An intimate Key West wedding also allows you to be creative and whimsical. You can have meals together at local restaurants, go sailing, fishing, dancing...whatever your heart beckons. It's all available on a whim and if you choose to do nothing, there is plenty for your guests to do that will keep them entertained while you just chill. Perfect!
Thank you for your post on intimate weddings(lots of great ideas!). My brother is getting married next year in Key West and a small wedding is what they are planning. I will recommend this site to him and his fiance. This is a perfect start!!
Best,
Kelly
