Why Go Small?
Let’s face it, big weddings can be a hot mess. Aunt Mildred’s had one too many cocktails, your college roommate’s plus-one is eyeing the cake suspiciously, and you’re stuck playing host instead of basking in newlywed bliss. Not exactly the stuff of dreams, right? Enter the small wedding. It’s smart choice for couples who want to keep it real. Here’s why:
- It’s all about you, baby! Fewer guests mean more quality time with your favorite people.
- Your wallet will thank you. Less people = less money spent on fancy napkins and chair covers.
- Stress? Never heard of her. A smaller guest list usually means fewer headaches.
- Get creative! With a more intimate affair, you can let your imagination run wild and splurge on fun elements with your extra budget.
- Feel the love. There’s something magical about sharing your special day with just your nearest and dearest.

FAQs: Planning Your Wedding Celebrations
What makes Evergreen the best wedding venue in Alabama?
Look, I get it. The wedding market is more saturated than a trendy brunch spot on a Sunday morning. But here’s the thing – your venue should feel right. It should give you those warm fuzzies, those “OMG this is it!” vibes. Evergreen isn’t just another pretty barn venue. It’s got soul and charm. And most importantly, it’s got a team that understands that your wedding day isn’t about impressing your mother-in-law or breaking Instagram. It’s about celebrating your love story.
