Cabin vs. Chapel... Which is Better for You?
After you have made the decision to get married and picked the date, the next big decision is: Cabin or Chapel. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. This article gives you some information to help you make the best choice for you.
A Chapel will be nicely decorated, and there are many to choose from to suit your personal tastes. In addition, if you are planning to have a lot of guests (say over 15), a Chapel will have adequate parking, be relatively easy for your guests to find, and will probably have facilities for a small reception afterwards. While this may be what you had in mind, there are several disadvantages to a Chapel wedding that you should be award of. The first one is cost. A chapel wedding will cost more than a cabin wedding. Most start at $300.00 and go up from there, with many couples easily spending several thousand dollars - just for the wedding. The other major disadvantage is time. You are very restricted with the time you will have access to the chapel. In many cases you will be allowed only a few minutes in the "Bride's room" to make final preparations, and once the ceremony is finished there is very limited time to take pictures or visit with your guests. Most likely, if you are scheduled to get married at 3:00 PM, somebody will be waiting on your heels to use the chapel at 3:30.
With an American Patriot Getaways Cabin wedding you can have the decorations and the service as simple or as formal as you wish. There is no dress code, no rules - it is your wedding, done your way. You can stand on the deck, in front of the fireplace, in the woods nearby, or up in the loft (if the cabin has one). Once you have found your cabin and gotten your marriage license, you don't need to go anywhere, the Minister comes to you. If you want to decorate, have flowers, or simply light a nice fire, it is up to you. If you have guests you can always have a simple reception for them afterwards right there in your American Patriot Getaways cabin. The big advantage to an American Patriot Getaways cabin wedding are cost and time. The cost is much less than a typical chapel wedding, with service prices starting as low as $100.00. (A typical service with pictures, video and music will run only $175.00.) It is very easy to plan a simple reception (Klassy Snacks can do Romantic Honeymoon Gift baskets, flowers, candlelit dinners and much more). Most couples end up spending less for their wedding and honeymoon than they would have spent for a chapel wedding alone. The best advantage of an American Patriot Getaways cabin wedding is the intimacy. You are not in a line of people waiting to get married. It is your wedding at your place, with whomever you choose to invite. A simple meaningful service performed in a place of your choosing. What could possibly be better than that?
