I don't mean, like, nothing after the ceremony, everyone just goes home, but as a few of you know, I've recently ditched the idea of a huge, local wedding, and started to plan for my Portland, Maine wedding at Portland Head Light. That being said, I'm only inviting about 25 people which are close friends and family. So it will be very small and intimate. I don't really see the point in renting out a huge venue, and getting a DJ, or doing the whole dances, etc. That being said, the restaurant they have there called Dimillo's is beautiful. They do wedding receptions, but again, I don't see the point for a huge 5 hour wedding reception. I was considering asking if we could just be put in one of their private rooms, and have nothing but dinner that would be paid for by my fiance and myself. A little bit more about Dimillo's, it's a huge boat that sits on the water, and that's the restaurant. Is this alright etiquette wise? Or should i just book the 5 hour reception? Cont. in comments.
