Counting Down to “I Do”

Edited by Kailey Smith — January 1, 2024

What better way to ring in the New Year than with wedding bells? If you’re looking for some unique wedding options a New Years Eve wedding might be your answer. Continue reading to find out some perks of celebrating a New Years Eve wedding.

First Perk: EVERYONE HAS THE NEXT DAY OFF

Most companies give their employees New Years off. Your guests should be available even if it lands on a weekday! This is also a perk if they have to travel.

Second Perk: SUCH FUN DETAILS!

You could go as over the top as you’d like with metallic colors, champagne towers, big balloons, confetti, neon signs, disco balls and lots and lots of champagne!

Third Perk: IT’S A GOOD EXCUSE TO GLAM UP

New Year’s Eve is the perfect date to dress up as much or as little as you want. Have the men dress in their best suits and the ladies wear as much glitter and glam as their hearts desire, plus your photos will turn out amazing!

Fourth Perk: NO SWEAT OVER THE FAVORS

Hand out party hats, noise makers, confetti bombs, bells, or even clocks! Anything you want your guests to use when the clock strikes midnight. Mini champagne bottles are another great party favor or maybe even pocket watches for your groomsmen.

Fifth Perk: YOUR GRAND EXIT CAN BE GRAND

You could do something simple like confetti, sparklers or bubbles. To something bigger such as cold spark machines!

Sixth Perk: THE MAJORITY OF YOUR GUESTS WILL STAY THE WHOLE NIGHT

We can’t have anyone leaving after dinner, it’s bad luck to leave before midnight right?  Your dance floor will stay full because more people are motivated to stay high energy.

Seventh Perk: MOST VENUES/VENDORS ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE

New Year’s Eve is an off season for wedding venues so your dates will more than likely be available. You won’t have the stress of figuring out which venue will be your fit. You might even get a better rate and who doesn’t like saving money!?

Eighth Perk: BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR TABLE NUMBERS

You can have your table numbers represent you and your spouse’s new resolutions or you could have your guests send in their resolutions for you to display.

Ninth Perk: AN UNFORGETTABLE ANNIVERSARY

You’ll never forget your anniversary plus you have even more reasons to celebrate. It also aligns with the transition to a new year.

You know I had to save the best perk for last. Are you ready to hear it? Alright here it goes…

Tenth Perk: ACCOMMODATIONS

No one wants to have to stress or worry about how their friends and loved ones are getting home safe, especially not on a long holiday night. Well look no further because Oakhaven has your back! We have four housing options to choose from for your wedding so all your guests can enjoy your celebration to the fullest. Our housing is on the property and close together.

As the clock strikes twelve, we say ‘I do’ to forever. Cheers to love and laughter, and a New Year as Mr and Mrs!
