As more couples look to personalize their day and downsize their wedding in favor of a more intimate affair with their favorite people, restaurant weddings are becoming more popular. Having a restaurant wedding allows you to create an intimate dinner party setting rather than the traditional wedding dinner reception. If you still aren't convinced, below are the 5 top reasons to host your wedding at your favorite restaurant.
1) It Will Feel Intimate and Warm
Rather than being in a grand hotel ballroom, wouldn't it be nice to celebrate your nuptials at your favorite special occasion restaurant? You already love the staff. It will be like having a dinner party at your home except you don't have to do the dishes!
2) You Can Serve Your Favorite Food
A HUGE factor in where people decide to have their wedding is the food they can serve. Knowing the restaurant can already make your favorite dishes is a big advantage. Now you can share your favorite tuna tartare appetizer that you've been telling them to try for months!
3) Unique
You've been to so many hotel, barn, and vineyard weddings and want something that feels like you. Restaurant weddings are a great opportunity for you to create a unique experience that is a true reflection of you and your spouse's style.
4) Built-in Decor
No need to spend time on Pinterest trying to decide on a theme for your wedding. While you can still choose sentimental details that will illustrate special aspects of your relationship, the restaurant will already have a distinct vibe, either modern, industrial, or something else. So you can put money that would normally be spent on furniture rentals like tables, chairs, china, flatware, even linens towards a more meaningful experience for your guests.
5) Accessible
Unless you're planning a destination restaurant wedding, your favorite restaurant is probably just a 20 minute ride away. You can easily pop in for a walkthrough with your vendors or deliver your decor the day before the wedding on your way home from work that week. And your local friends will love that they don't have to pay for an expensive flight and hotel room.

Your wedding is a reflection of you and your relationship. A cookie-cutter venue just won't cut it and I completely agree!
