Cozy Venue:

Because you decide to invite only the closest to you, selecting a venue for your ceremony is much easier because you can accommodate fewer people more easily, it can be a charming garden, a rustic barn, or a spot on your favorite beach. Selecting a space that reflects your personality is key to having a meaningful ceremony.
