Bed & Breakfasts Becoming Ideal for Elopements and Intimate Receptions
Today’s young couples are more pragmatic and idealistic love birds, increasingly deciding to invest their nest egg savings in longer-term foundations of an eternal relationship, such as home, furnishings and shared leisure time. As a result, elopements are trending up with the appeal of lower costs and a more intimate exchange of vows.
Bed and Breakfasts are ideal for accommodating the special weekends with elopement packages, and also with options for celebratory receptions with family and close friends.
Romantic Bed & Breakfast Elopement Packages in Louisville, KY Can Accommodate All Interests in Activity and Relaxation
Young couples are finding B&Bs to be just right for elopement weekends … with charm, service and typically more warmth and intimacy than chain hotels. Being the historic DuPont Mansion Bed & Breakfast in the Old Louisville neighborhood of Louisville, KY … has given us a perspective we genuinely treasure.. Perfect example today: Elopement Packages are quickly surpassing Small-Venue-Wedding-Packages, as Millennial and Gen-Z couples are more inclined to create their own personal experience of a wedding, and as post-COVID ceremonies have all trended smaller, private and more intimate. On the other hand, the hosting and accommodation of newly weds and weddings remains very much the same, ensuring that the venue for the ceremony and first days of marital bliss are the personal dream-come-true. Similarly, some couples come to us for an Elopement Package, yet they also want to celebrate with close friends and family, so our Inn is booked for the weekend with their visitors, and the entire experience is similar to a “Small Venue Wedding”, other than the privacy of the ceremony itself, often with the exchange of vows in our private patio garden or the classically appointed parlor.
One of the unique ways in which Bed & Breakfasts are increasingly found to be perfect for Elopements and Small-Weddings, is the bespoke nature of being small enough to completely personalize the activity and relaxation experiences for the couple and their guests. The Inn Keeper is also Concierge and coordinator of tour packages, dinner reservations, transportation … and photo taker for social media posts! Particularly with the rising attraction to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, globally, many elopement and wedding packages are custom-combined with Bourbon Trail and Distillery Tour packages, either just for the couple, or as a celebratory event for all visiting guests. In short, elopement and wedding packages today in Louisville, KY can perfectly tailored to be uniquely yours, for example:
- Privately an Elopement Package for the weekend, with a romantic dinner at Buck’s restaurant, just around the corner.
- An Elopement Package with a private reception for visiting guests, combined with a weekend Bourbon Trail Package.
- A week-long or long-weekend Small Wedding package, with groomsmen and bridesmaids set up with separate and combined activities (bourbon tours, golf scrambles, spa days, music festivals, Broadway plays).
- All-Inclusive Wedding Packages, with our own wedding planners and bakery chefs available to provide everything from decoration and design to a gorgeous and delicious wedding cake, wedding officiating, music, receptions, etc.
At DuPont Mansion Bed and Breakfast, you can see that we (Gayle and Herb Warren, owners) are truly thankful being not just ideal for the rising trend of Elopements and Small Weddings, but for being able to live our passion of serving new couples, bestowed with the privilege of hosting from Louisville’s historic DuPont Mansion in charming Old Louisville.
