Hello,
My fiancé and I decided early on that we wanted an intimate wedding that included our immediate family only (9 guests). Our family is scattered across the US so either way, someone would need to travel. We came to the idea of hosting a wedding at an Airbnb that would hold all of us and have a the wedding and reception on site, we ended up finding a beautiful home in Northern California that looks like a French Chateau with redwoods on the property right on a beautiful river (that happens to be on the opposite side of the country), we still wanted to have a fun champagne wall, the farm table dinner outside, the cake/dessert table and the dancing under string lights. We booked an awesome photographer and an officiant, but now we are having so much trouble trying to find a caterer and makeup artist/hair stylist, bakery that will cater to our small wedding, most places have a minimum amount of people for services. People giving advice are suggesting that we go to a restaurant after the ceremony and i'm starting to get really stressed out because, the whole point of renting this (expensive) house was that we could all stay there and host the entire wedding there. I'd 100% consider changing the location, however both of our parents have already booked flights and aside from this home I don't have much of a desire to get married in NorCal as I have never been. have absolutely no clue what to do in this case. I'm ready to cancel everything and go to city hall and get married and go to a nice restaurant (which was my original wish). Has anyone else experienced this or have any advise as to what I should do?
Thanks!
