We always get asked for destination weddings during the winter months. But this week we just met a bride who is looking to get married in the New York area during the winter season.

Here are some of our favorite venues for an intimate winter wedding in the tri-state area:

Crowne Plaza Resort & Golf Club

Farmington Gardens

The Olde Mill Inn

Wedding Theme: Winter Wonderland

Fall weather is in full effect which means that Winter will be here before we know it. We love it when the temperatures get chilly, holiday decorations start to adorn the streets and Christmas Carols can be heard everywhere. 

Winter is one of the most romantic season for weddings, you can draw inspiration from the twinkly lights and white snow to turn your wedding into a winter wonderland. No matter if your budget is high or low, adding some key elements will make your wedding the perfect winter dream.

Consider shades of silver and gold with hints of blue. Christmas ornaments are great additions to centerpieces that won't break the bank. Also using seasonal flowers such a poinsettias and berries will add that classic holiday look to your event. 

Here are some great photos as inspiration:

Off Peak Weddings

Who wouldn’t love to have a luxurious wedding on a Weekend or in the Summer/Spring? That dream wedding could be more costly than expected. Why not schedule your wedding in the winter, Friday, Sunday, or even a weekday? Some of the Off Peak wedding months are from November through April. Once the spring season hits say bye bye to a less expensive wedding.

Here are a few reasons on why to have an off peak wedding :

• There is less competition for dates which gives you better negotiating power.
• The peak times of the year means that suppliers and venues often are booked out years in advance.
• If you are working with a strict budget, having a week day wedding is much less expensive then weekend. 
• Choosing a week day for a destination wedding is less expensive and since the guests are already flying to the destination there will be no issues of work as they may need to take off of work already.
