From the moment they woke up to the final sip of espresso martinis, Danielle and Kevin's wedding day was filled with special moments. They began by getting ready in a stunning cottage by the water, setting the perfect tone for the day.

The couple then golf carted to their ceremony spot, where they shared heartfelt vows with the lighthouse as their backdrop. Having just their close family and friends at their ceremony was so special and I could see just how important these people were for Danielle and Kevin. Following the ceremony, they celebrated by popping champagne on the cliff, enjoying a raw bar, and indulging in lobster rolls while capturing beautiful sunset photos. Their sunset photos were definitely one of my favorite parts of the day! The sun peaking in the background added so much romance to their photos, which I loved! The evening continued with their first dance among family, culminating in a night spent sipping espresso martinis.

Tips for Planning Your Intimate Wedding

Be Selective with Your Choices: With a smaller guest list, you can be more particular about your food, drinks, and other details. This allows you to choose high-quality options that truly reflect your tastes and preferences without the pressure of accommodating a large crowd.
Hire a Planner: Even with a small guest list, a planner is invaluable for managing all the details and ensuring everything runs smoothly. A planner can help with everything from coordinating vendors to managing the timeline, so you can focus on enjoying your day.
Enjoy the Day: A smaller wedding means more time to enjoy each other’s company and soak in every moment. Take advantage of the intimate setting to create lasting memories with your closest loved ones and savor the special moments together.
Personalize the Experience: Use the intimacy of your wedding to incorporate personal touches that reflect your relationship. Whether it's custom vows, a unique ceremony location, or personalized favors, these details will make your day even more meaningful!
Consider the Venue’s Unique Features: When choosing a venue, think about the unique features it offers that can enhance your wedding experience! For example, Castle Hill Inn’s lighthouse and cliffside views added a stunning backdrop to Danielle and Kevin’s wedding, making their ceremony and photos unforgettable.
Embrace Flexibility: With fewer guests, you have the flexibility to be more spontaneous and relaxed. Embrace this by planning activities that allow you to enjoy the moment, whether it's a leisurely breakfast together, a scenic walk, or an impromptu dance under the stars.

By focusing on these tips, you can create an intimate wedding that is not only beautiful and memorable but also a true reflection of your love story!
