The Perfect Union: Merry Marriages Plus Bed and Breakfasts

Congratulations!  You’re engaged!  Now what?  At BnBFinder.com, we know that for many soon-to-be married couples, the idea of planning a wedding can be a daunting process.  Forget what to wear and who to invite- the first thing couples want to know is, “how much will this cost?”  Whether it’s a small and private affair or a marvelous soiree, local destination weddings at a bed & breakfast is de rigueur choice for many budget conscious brides and grooms who want an affordable dream wedding that exceed their expectations. 

First and foremost, weddings are a celebration, and like any celebration it involves planning and organization.  Bed & breakfasts are an ideal choice for betrothed couples who want an all inclusive package and/or unique locations and options that standard wedding venues can’t provide.  It’s not surprising that B&B innkeepers are also the best wedding planners.  Innkeepers free couples from responsibilities, worries and stress with special wedding packages that are detailed and memorable. 

Intimate weddings make a grand statement at The Inn at Riverbend in Pearisburg, Virginia where couples can choose the “Just the Few of Us,” package.  Couples submit a small guest list of invitees and leave the rest up to innkeeper/ event coordinator Linda Hayes, who takes care of all the major and minor details for the big day such as: printed invitations and response cards, floral and bouquet arrangements, selection of a minister or officiate, professional photographers, the ultimate wedding cake, a gourmet four course dinner including a full breakfast, complimentary gift baskets for the wedding party and guests, including a celebratory sparkling cider and even take on special requests and organize outdoor group activities such as a river tubing expedition, all the while making sure every guest has a clean and spotless room.  And for those that don’t want any guests, the Inn also offers a special elopement package called, “Just the Two of Us,” a similar package that makes saying, “I do,” as easy as checking in and out. 

Engaged couples feeling lost and clueless can meet with the consummate pro, Judy Joubert at Stone Crest Cellars Bed & Breakfast in South Beach, Oregon.  This B&B innkeeper/wedding planner is the go-to resource having supervised over 79 weddings in 2008.  Judy offers a free wedding expo every year where couples can participate in food and wedding cake tasting sessions, select linen, table and floral designs, meet musicians, officiants and photographers and even rent tuxedos.  The ocean front property bed & breakfast offers an all-inclusive custom wedding and elopement package that can include guest lodging, bridal bouquet, boutonniere, wedding cake, champagne and photos. 

Lush romance can be found at The Rosewood Country Inn in Bradford, New Hampshire where a charming country setting along with an attractive and affordable wedding, civil union or honeymoon packages draw in couples who are on a tight budget to a timeless, graceful and natural environment.  The picturesque landscape sets a romantic mood as couples pronounce their vows in a Victorian gazebo to the sounds of gentle flute and harp.  The most economic-friendly package is the “Country Wedding Package,” which includes a Justice of the Peace, French champagne and keepsake flutes, hors d’oeuvres and a wedding cake.  Lesley Marquis, innkeeper and coordinator has a list of resources on hand for couples that need to find anything and everything from caterers, florists, limousine services, hair salons, wedding cakes, etc.
