Small Event Size, Big Impact!
While we all continue to navigate the pandemic, the landscape of the wedding and event industry is also evolving. One of the biggest changes newly engaged couples and party hosts are embracing is downsizing their guest list – which means utilizing smaller event venues for their special day! Whether it is a boutique hotel, intimate ceremony or reception hall, social hall, or a unique setting for a birthday party, there are so many versatile and creative gathering spaces to hold your next small event.
