Ask The Celebration Advisor: I'm taking my wife on a special date for our 10th anniversary. Is renting a limo going to be too showy for something like that? We live in Worcester, Massachusetts. ~ Ron

The Celebration Advisor: Actually, renting a limousine is a perfect way to make the evening more special! It's a very sweet thought that will stir up a lot of sweet feelings in your wife. As far as renting a limo being "too showy", that all depends on what the rest of the evening holds but the answer is still probably going to be "no, it's actually really nice." Consider things like this before calling a limousine service in Worcester MA:

*Are we going somewhere special for dinner? — Arriving in style is a great way to show your wife that you really are trying to make your evening together as special and romantic as possible. If you roll up to McDonalds, probably. If you take her to a fine restaurant, it's practically expected to arrive in style. You can't get much more stylish than limos.

*Is my wife easily embarassed? — If your wife is the reclusive type who tends to be very reserved and shy, something so elaborate may not be her speed. If she is one who loves attention or loves to feel special for a day, renting a limousine for a night out in Worcester is probably right up her alley!

*Will we run into anyone that we know? — If this is the case, see the above question. If your wife wants to be able to show her friends what a wonderful husband you are, it'll be a great treat for her if you "just so happen" to run into a few of her friends.

*Are we staying the night away from home? – Many couples like to shake it up by visiting a resort, a luxury hotel or spa when celebrating a big number anniversary like yours. If you plan to stay away from home for the evening, consider the cost of renting a limousine either twice or keeping it (and the driver) for the night. After all, you will want a way to get home!

Aside from these things, you are on the right track! Renting a limo from Worcester MA limousine services is a fun and exciting way to live it up for an evening. It is a fantastic way to show your wife that she is the queen of the evening and the most important woman in your life. Way to go!

Ask The Celebration Advisor: Hello, I'm planning my wedding but here's the thing, i was raised catholic and my groom to be is a muslim, so we've decided to keep it non religious.  Also, we have decided we want only those closest to us to come, and altogether that's 20 people. I want to have a  beautiful fun and memorable wedding, but I would feel silly renting a big hall for only 20 people. Is there a way to have a nice non  traditional  wedding ceremony and reception for 20?  Kattlin Wedding will be in North Battleford , Saskatchewan ~ Kattlin

The Celebration Advisor: You have so many wonderful options and many require you to think outside of the box.   Depending on the time of year, garden or parks make great wedding venues.  Other great wedding ceremony locations are historical buildings, museums, libraries and government buildings.  Many bed and breakfasts or lodges are more than places to stay offering their facilities for weddings and other gatherings.  The North Battleford , Saskatchewan area has several bed and breakfasts.  With your small group a bed and breakfast is the ideal place for an intimate wedding.

You can have both the ceremony and the wedding reception at a bed and breakfast.  The home-like decor will create an intimate and romantic atmosphere.  Here are a few suggestions on what to look for when choosing a bed and breakfast for your wedding:

• A bed and breakfast with a large patio area.  This way your can set up the wedding reception music entertainment on the patio.
• A large porch or stair case where you, the groom and the wedding officiant can stand during the wedding. This will take the place of the alter and will elevate you above the guests allowing them the best view during the ceremony.
• A B & B with a spacious common area. This will allow you ample room for your reception and ceremony.
• Catering services or working relationship with caterers.
• A bed & breakfast with wedding packages
• Ample parking since even a small group of wedding guests will require a fair amount of parking area. If you plan to leave for your honeymoon in a limousine make sure there is room for it in front of the B & B.
• Find a place that will allow you to personalize the rooms with flowers and decorations

A memorable wedding is not defined by the size of the place it is held. Your personal touches and the inclusion of your guests in the occasion are what make a wedding memorable and fun. So think outside the box. Any location that is special to you or has qualities that you enjoy is the perfect place for a intimate and memorable wedding. My wedding was held at my sister-in-laws house. We said our vows in front of the fireplace. For us it was the perfect balance of romance and comfort. So open your mind to the non-traditional places and you'll find the perfect place for your wedding.
