A Sensible Alternative to Large Traditional Weddings

The Huffington Post December 2017 article, Everything You Need to Know About Micro Weddings, states this about micro weddings: “In simple terms, a micro wedding is an abbreviated celebration of marriage that has only a handful of invited guests (commonly 20 or less), is shorter in duration and is more simple in format, relaxed in atmosphere and

less stress to organize than a traditional wedding.”
According to The Knot,an online wedding resource website, the average cost for a wedding in 2016 was $35,329, with higher averages in places like South Florida ($48,596), Chicago ($60,035) and New York City ($78,464). The average spent on a wedding in San Francisco was $42,716. Prices for weddings have not gone down, but the size of the guest list has. Christina Friedrichsen, founder of IntimateWeddings.com and author of “Intimate Weddings: Planning a Small Wedding That Fits Your Budget and Style,”writes “There is an overall trend towards minimalism and simplicity, and that goes for weddings too.”

In addition to Ms. Friedrichsen’s observation, couples are getting smarter with their money, considering that the price of an average wedding can be used for another expense that is sometimes out of reach of a newly married couple, a down payment on a house. Friedrichsen goes on to say, “So many people are overwhelmed just dealing with the pressures of day-to-day life; they simply don’t want the added stress of orchestrating a large event. Decision fatigue is real; a tiny wedding helps to alleviate some of that.”

Most younger couples considering marriage belong to the millennial generation. This is a segment of our society that has grown up with and fully embraces social media and technology. If you are in that generation and you can’t invite all of your friends and family to you wedding, why not consider doing a Facebook live event or you can video the wedding and share it on YouTube. This keeps the cost factor down and adds to the uniqueness and fun factor.

“Micro weddings afford a lot more flexibility and they’re easier on the budget,” Tatiana Brenizer,a Brooklyn-based wedding photographer, said. The added flexibility of a small wedding allows you to “have it your way.”

Create your own list of things that you just can’t live without. Determine your “must-haves.” Do you want a religious wedding or a secular one? Do you want a religious wedding with traditional vows, or do you want to write your own? What components of a “traditional” wedding must be a part of your ceremony? Are decorations important? What kinds? Do you want flowers? What about a professional photographer? Do you want inside or outside? Once you’ve determined what you need, determine how much you want to do. Many couples are comfortable with a do-it-yourself wedding, while others don’t want to deal with all the decisions and stress of planning a wedding. Just because you’ve chosen to go with a micro wedding doesn’t mean you have to give up on a beautiful, elegant, memorable wedding. Wedding planners are watching this trend toward small but beautiful and are beginning to give this movement some attention. At Vacaville Tiny Weddings our goal is to provide couples with their perfect wedding in a beautiful relaxing environment, considering all of the must-haves. We can provide space, either indoor or outdoor, for up to 30 guests, plants and decorations, wedding arch, carpet runner, music, an ordained minister officiant, a pre-wedding meeting (up to one hour,) a customized ceremony based on an extensive questionnaire, a wedding certificate, and filing of the marriage license. We try to think of everything. If this seems like too much we can also make it a plain and simple wedding with no frills, just the space for up to 30 guests, an ordained minister officiant, a pre-wedding meeting (up to 30 minutes) a prewritten ceremony, a wedding certificate, and filing of the marriage license. Either of these ceremonies will allow you to share this special event with a small number of friends and allow you to keep what you would have spent on a larger wedding for other things. Contact us today for a free wedding consultation. In the wedding consultation we will help you determine your must haves and clearly explain your options, including costs, and help you decide if a micro wedding is right for you.

We performed another small, but beautiful wedding on Saturday. Nick and Traci were married in front of family and friends at one of the historic ranches in Pleasants Valley. The Joyful Ranch, built in the 1800s thankfully survived the LNU Complex fire. Some outbuildings and the barn were lost, but the Victorian home was spared. They have rebuilt the barn and are open for weddings. If you would like more information about how we can help you plan your wedding, give us a call, 707-330-1418.

We performed another small but beautiful wedding on Saturday. Sabrina and Ray chose a beautiful spot in Contra Costa County, about an hour from Vacaville, that was perfect for their wedding. It was a new venue to us and we are glad we now have another venue to suggest to couples. The wedding took place in Briones Regional Park, in Newt Hollow. Just the name alone creates this magical feeling about the place. The couple was joined by family and friends and their two special dogs, Snoopy and Luna (Luna's the one in the dress.). I am so glad they chose Vacaville Tiny Weddings to be a part of their wedding. If you would like information about affordable venues or planning a wedding, give us a call. 707-330-1418.

We have another special announcement 🎉

It’s a Brazelton Wedding, and you’re invited!

The backstory 💕

In April Ladies Night, Katie entered a drawing for a tiny wedding, never thinking anything of it.

In May, William and Katie experienced a fire at their home and to their surprise, a week later Mike Woodcock with called them to tell them they’d won the tiny wedding! Ironically, Mike has been long time friends of the Brazelton family, even living in William and Katie’s home years before!

Even MORE fun news, the wedding would be ! The same place we sell our peaches and where many of you visit with William and Katie when grabbing our fruit!

William and Katie have felt the love many times over from our community and want to share this special, and serendipitous, ceremony with the same community that champions them!

If you’d like to attend, the ceremony will be in Andrews Park at 11am on 10/14/23. Please note it is standing room only, or you can bring a lawn chair! Hope to see you there!

We picked a winner for our free wedding at the Vacaville Farmers' Market. Talk about serendipity! Read on.. Katie Davidson and Will Brazelton were in the midst of planning their wedding when a fire destroyed their home and they lost everything. They scrapped their wedding plans and focused on getting their lives back together. A few months before the fire she had entered a drawing for a free wedding from Vacaville Tiny Weddings. When I called to let Katie know that she had won, she explained her circumstances. I was thrilled to be able to make their lives easier by giving them a free wedding.
We picked a time to meet, and at our first meeting we started talking about growing up in Vacaville. When I asked about their families, Will told me that his family had a ranch out on Pleasants Valley Rd. I asked who his father was and was floored when he told me that it was Bruce Brazelton, someone I had gone to high school and college with, and had farmed with out at the Brazelton Ranch in the late 70s. It turns out that I had lived in the same house that Katie and Will lived in (the one that burned) while I was farming with Will's dad. They began coming to the Farmers' Market last year to sell their fruit and preserves from the Ranch. Taylor and Anthony from Vacaville's Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District were so receptive to the idea of having a wedding at the Market, and have been great in helping with the details. The bride and groom are having their flowers done by another local farmer, Monika at Midsummer Flowers. It seems so perfect that they are getting married in downtown Vacaville at the Farmers' Market. Maybe you will see us there if you go to the market on October 14th at 11:00am.

26/06/2023

Have you thought about getting married in your own backyard or a friend’s backyard? I've been performing some great backyard weddings this summer, and I'm really inspired by all the possibilities.
There are so many reasons why a backyard wedding could be the perfect option for you. It's a more intimate and personal setting, it can be more affordable, the venue’s free, and it's a great way to celebrate your love in a place that's special to you.
If you're thinking about having a backyard wedding, here are a few things to keep in mind:
• Make sure the backyard is big enough. You'll need enough space for your reception, and you want your guests to sit, eat, and dance.
• Consider the weather. If you're getting married outdoors, you'll need a backup plan in case of rain or hot weather. It will eventually get hot here in Vacaville.
• Get creative with your décor. There are endless possibilities when it comes to decorating a backyard for a wedding. We can provide the chairs and wedding arch and you can add flowers, candles, twinkling lights, and other elements to create a truly magical setting.
If you're thinking about having a backyard wedding, I encourage you to go for it! It's such a special and personal way to celebrate your love. And if you need any help planning, call me. I'm happy to share my ideas. 707-330-1418
