More couples now prefer a small wedding because they want to celebrate that special day with people that they care about instead of distant relatives, friends whom they barely know. Moreover small weddings are more cost effective. You can go for a venue of your dreams, whether it is a place with an exotic view, a romantic resort tucked away on a remote island, or the restaurant with the most mouth watering dishes. There are more options because there is a huge difference in paying for a party for 30 compared to say 500 people. You can do so much organizing a small scale wedding, it is so much more personal. Having a small number of close friends and relative means you can design a menu that include their collective favorites. Invite them to participate in the fun, games, dance…
Here is a list of venues each with its own uniqueness. What you want is a private place for your guests to enjoy not only the food but the company of others. Hence big halls which require you to share the space are not ideal. Besides having the banquet indoor you can choose the outdoor venue such as poolside, terrace, garden, beach, deck and so on. Usually complimentary items/ banquet benefits come with 10 or 20 tables or more. With fewer tables, you have to arrange the additional stuff yourself or discuss with the person-in-charge about bundling them with extra cost.
