143: Ashley & Tim's Chill Lakeside Inn Farm-To-Plate Wedding Weekend
How do you find that sweet spot between what you want for your wedding and what your family expects?
Is it even possible to create a celebration that feels true to you, without leaving anyone important out, or blowing your budget?
And how many hours drumming at your wedding reception is too much?
Today, I’m yakking it up with Ashley and Tim, a newly-married couple from Maine in the United States who wrestled with those questions and somehow managed to pull off a wedding that was intimate, meaningful, and yet super chill for everyone involved.
From navigating a guest list that doubled overnight, to negotiating with their venue, and finding creative ways to make their dream wedding weekend work for everyone—Ash and Tim have some practical advice and a few hilarious stories about their experiences and how, when you stick to your values and what’s important to you, you can find solutions when at first, it seemed like there weren’t any.
If you’re planning a wedding and feeling stuck between eloping and inviting the masses, on the fence about having a ‘first look’, or if you just want to hear how stunningly beautiful Tim and Ashley’s lakeside inn was, you’re in the right place.
