Not all destination weddings need to be far flung locations to make your big day special. The continental U.S. provides the most extraordinary venues for couples and their guests from beaches to mountains. We have produced weddings in Palm Beach, Miami, Vermont, California and this spring-Nantucket and Minnesota. Each place is uniquely different and memorable.

Ingredients for a successful destination wedding are hospitality, a sense of adventure and a location that provides many opportunities for entertaining your guests. One huge selling point for locations within driving distance is cost and convenience. Additionally, if you have included children on your guest list,, getting there makes it possible for everyone. We all know flying with kids can knock the stuffing out of anybody. A local destination makes the wedding inclusive for all. Check out this country setting in Vermont with style.

In keeping with the country theme, choose a clever design for the seating card table to give your design a sense of place.

Brightly colored hydrangeas also reinforce the country feel.

Creating a whimsical get-a-way along the pathway to dinner adds more atmosphere.

Once inside the tent, the decor and lighting transform this tranquil setting into a sophisticated and lively party!
