Whether you choose to uphold traditions or start a new one of your own. ## 4. Couples Take the Stage (Alone!) If couples choose to have a wedding party, they are not standing next to them during the ceremony. Instead, they are seated during the ceremony with the main focus being the couple. It makes for some amazing photos and directs more attention to the couple. **PRO TIP: Remember to have your officiant move out of the way for your first kiss!** ![](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/Shades-of-Purple-1920-x-1080-px-1-1024x576.png) ## 5. Dress Code Etiquette What do you wear to a wedding? That’s what many of your guests start to think as soon as they receive their invitation. Make it easier for them and let them know how fancy it’s going to be. Also, if you’re wanting to achieve a certain color palette include the shades with your dress code. This will make for a beautiful aesthetic during family and group photos and leave the guess work out of what to wear for your guests. Your Hermann Hill wedding coordinator will definitely assist you with your mood boards and are experts in Canva. ![](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/7-1024x576.png) ## 6.

Modernize it now with fun and fresh flavors like pumpkin with espresso buttercream or lemon with blueberry. The above cake was from wedding of Samuel and Katie and was inspired by her mothers’ wedding cake! ## 8. Private Vows Couples are choosing to say their vows to one another in private before the ceremony and then opting to read a simplified version during the ceremony.

That’s why our creative coordinators have prepared our top tips for planning your outdoor wedding at Hermann Hill. There’s something to be said about getting back to nature when it comes to saying, “I do.” Whether it’s basking in the glow of a gorgeous sunset or reveling in the calming presence of old-growth forests and rustic, sun-dappled vineyards, an outdoor wedding at Hermann Hill is simply breathtaking. The stunning natural scenery of Missouri Wine Country is the perfect place for an intimate outdoor elopement, [elegant micro wedding](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/microweddings-your-guide-to-planning-an-intimate-ceremony) or large family-focused ceremony. Plus, at Hermann Hill, our outdoor venues are safe and comfortable for both you and your guests. Learn more about our tailored, all-inclusive [elopement and wedding packages](https://hermannmoweddings.com/packages). Our [creative wedding coordinators](https://hermannmoweddings.com/our-wedding-coordinators) have shared these excellent tips for planning a most memorable outdoor wedding celebration. ## Our Tips on Planning Your Outdoor Wedding ### 1. Choose Your Outdoor Site Hermann Hill offers [sites that can be tailored to your needs](https://hermannmoweddings.com/our-venue). Choose from the stunning River Bluff, which accommodates up to 300 guests, or our charming gazebo, which can host up to 100 guests or be an intimate setting for just the two of you. Whether the outdoor wedding ceremony is high atop the rocky bluffs or nestled in the classic white gazebo, your wedding photos will be breathtaking. ### 2. Have a Backup Plan A backup plan is always an important item on your outdoor wedding checklist. Regardless of your planning efforts, there’s no way to control Mother Nature should she decide to throw a temper tantrum on your special day. Prepare to tame that temptress by preparing a backup plan in case of hot, chilly or wet weather. At Hermann Hill, we’ve got you “covered”! [Our multiple venue options](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wedding-tours) make it easy to accommodate quick changeovers up to an hour before the ceremony, from outdoors to indoors when necessary! ![bride and groom holding hands with four bridesmaids lined up behind the bride](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/hh-blog-bride-bride-groom-bridesmaids.jpg) ### 3. Plan Versatile Florals and Decorations Design your florals and decorations to be adaptable to both outdoor and indoor options. This makes for a seamless transition if needed. Things to consider include bright sunlight, wind, and rain. Additionally, we recommend using seasonal florals as they are both cost-effective and the freshest and most vibrant options. ### 4. Include a Cocktail Hour Providing a cocktail hour before the ceremony enhances your guests’ experience. Serve refreshing drinks and appetizers as they mingle in your outdoor setting. Margaritas are perfect for warmer days, while spiked cider or hot chocolate adds coziness to cooler fall days. ### 5. Distribute Party Favors Offer guests practical and fun favors such as sunglasses, fans, and parasols for warmer days, cozy throw blankets and hand warmers for chilly days. These items can enhance the comfort and enjoyment of your outdoor celebration. ### 5. Provide Climate-Controlled Areas If extreme weather is expected, ensure there is an indoor, climate-controlled space for guests to wait comfortably before the ceremony. It’s also important to inform your elderly guests and parents with little ones who are most affected by the heat. ### 6. Consider Photo Ops Plan your ceremony and photo sessions around sunset to capture the golden hour for breathtaking outdoor photos. Sunsets over the River Bluff are absolutely stunning and provide amazing and beautiful memories. In addition, if your location is part of a bald eagle flyway, remind your photographer and videographer to be on the lookout for these amazing shots. ### 7. Creating Ambiance with Beautiful Music Have your musicians or DJ start playing music at least 20-30 minutes before the ceremony to create a welcoming atmosphere. Your choice of music sets the tone and enhances the enjoyment of your special day. ![wedding table setting with white tablecloth, gold chargers, dark blue napkins, silverware, glassware, party favors, and decor](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/hh-blog-table-setting-wedding.jpg) ### 8. Try a Reverse Wedding for Summer Days On hot summer days, consider reversing your wedding. Start by socializing with your guests during a cocktail hour, then host the dinner followed by the ceremony, and finish with a dance party. This unique approach keeps everyone comfortable and engaged. ### 9. Prioritize Guest Comfort While you may dream of an outdoor wedding, [ensure your guests are comfortable](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/the-ultimate-guest-experience-how-to-plan-a-wedding-that-wows) to maximize their enjoyment of you and your special day. If conditions are unsavory outdoors, move the ceremony indoors. Guests will appreciate your consideration, and you will be more relaxed and can still capture beautiful outdoor photos of just the two of you. That’s Midwestern hospitality at its finest — something we at Hermann Hill know quite a bit about! ### 10. Parking Considerations Unlike most barn or open-field venues, Hermann Hill offers paved, well-lit areas for your and your guests’ safety. Handicap parking is also available to accommodate guests with mobility challenges. Venues with parking on fields or lawns can be extremely challenging after heavy rains. After your reception comes to a close, the last thing you want is to have to rely on a local farm tractor and chains to pull out your guests’ cars — in the dark! ## Additional Fun Ideas For An Outdoor Wedding Here are a few more ideas our wedding planners would love to share as you plan your big day outdoors! - **A BBQ wedding dinner** may usually be associated with a Western or rustic theme—but it doesn’t have to! - We already mentioned a sunset wedding ceremony, but why not **consider planning a sunrise ceremony?** This is a beautiful way to celebrate an elopement! - If there will be a lull between the ceremony and the reception, why not **include lawn games** to give guests a source of entertainment? You could even plan an entire theme around it. - Add frozen cocktails, spiked hot cider or hot chocolate to the **drink menu** for a change of pace. - Dinner on the rocks is a lovely alternative for an outdoor reception, and **Hermann Hill’s Celebration Point** is the perfect place to share a meal. The possibilities are endless and can always be customized to fit your style! ## Your Wedding, Your Way! Let our experienced wedding coordinators breathe life into your big-day plans!

Meeting with engaged couples, supporting family members and wedding vendors is what makes our worlds go round. If you are at all like us, this quarantining has you going a little bit stir crazy, too. But, we are all in this together—which is why we put together this wedding planning to-do list of tasks you might want to tackle while you are stuck at home. ## 7 Wedding Planning Things to Do While Social-Distancing Whether you are reinventing your wedding because it was postponed or you are on-track for wedded bliss in 2021, make the most of this downtime with these wedding planning tips! **Start or Complete Your Registry** Begin with something fun—and what could be more fun than picking out items that other people will buy for you?! Plan a time to sit down with your significant other and comb through the online catalogs of home goods and appliances that you will need to start your new life together. **Solidify the Guest List** Now is an excellent time to take a look at your guest list and make those tough choices. Maybe this virus situation has you rethinking the size of your ceremony. If that’s the case, check out this post covering the [creative wedding solutions](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/creative-wedding-possiblilities-for-a-ceremony-at-hermann-hill-in-2020/) Hermann Hill has to offer. And if you are planning for a wedding further down the line, take this time to start collecting addresses for invites. **Create Your Wedding Playlist** Grab a glass of wine and pop open Spotify to start crafting your wedding playlist. For many couples, this is quite a hefty task. The songs played during your wedding will be with you for the rest of your life. We suggest that you just start listing all the songs you would like to have played—and maybe a list of those you certainly don’t want to be played, too. **Go Virtual Dress Shopping with Your Bridesmaids** Instead of sitting at home watching *Say Yes to the Dress* and wishing you could be out with the girls, plan a virtual shopping trip with your bride tribe! Get everyone on a Zoom call (wine in hand!) where you can share your screens and browse online shops for wedding and bridesmaid dress inspiration. You may or may not be very productive in your search this way. But nevertheless, spending some time engaged with your girlfriends will do you all some good during these challenging times. **Write Your Vows** Really could there be a better time than while you are hunkering down at home to settle in and do the soul-searching needed to write your wedding vows? Put on some soft music, maybe light a candle and get in the mindset to put into words how you feel about your partner and why they are the one for you. Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. Give yourself the time and space to write and know that this can always be revised at a later time. **Create Your Wedding Website** Everyone wants a wedding website these days—and for good reason. Your wedding website is like an interactive virtual invitation! From how to RSVP to lodging, links to your registry and more, your wedding website is the central space for you to post updates and share wedding day information. A few platforms we recommend for creating your wedding website include [Minted](https://www.minted.com/wedding), [Zola](https://www.zola.com/) and [Joy](https://withjoy.com). **Sample Wedding Day Drinks** On your next trip out to the grocery store, why not pick up the ingredients to sample a few signature cocktail recipes you might want to include on your drink menu. You and your partner could really have some fun with this one, which is also a great distraction during these trying times. Search Pinterest for ideas and start crafting your drink menu today! When it comes to wedding planning, there’s quite a lot you can do at home to prepare. ## Don’t Put Wedding Planning On-Hold These ideas only scratch the surface of what you can be doing now to prepare for your big day. Get creative and see what else you can come up with to plan and be productive while you are stuck at home. Your wedding planning journey should be as unique as you are—which is why at Hermann Hill, we want you to have your wedding your way! The ideas you bring to the table are the details that will make your day solely yours. And when you need a wedding best friend, we are here for you.

Most of us can count them on one hand. The joy of the birth of a child. Your first date with *the one*. The moment you got engaged. And, hands-down, for our wedding couples—the day they tied the knot at Hermann Hill. It’s no wonder then, that for such an important life-event there are an infinite number of possible scenarios. When you’re planning the wedding of your dreams, what do you imagine? Do you see a flowing, beautiful dress? A sunset champagne toast with the beautiful Missouri river flowing in the background? Is your best-dog-friend a member of your wedding party? Is it just the two of you, or maybe you and your closest friends and family—or is it your whole extended tribe? Is your wedding planned down to every detail or spontaneous? We’ve found that the hopes and intentions of each couple are as unique as they are—and we are \*kind of\* amazing at all of the above. We are all about bringing the joy to your event. If you want to keep it small and intimate, let’s talk about an elopement or a micro wedding. If you want to include everyone, we are ready to make it happen—even with very little notice. Whether you want to be spontaneous or planned and organized, we have the most amazing wedding coordinators that will make your day just what you want. **[Start by Choosing Your Style](https://hermannmoweddings.com/packages)** **Elopements**—Not for just running away for a secret marriage. We define elopements as an intimate wedding ceremony, just the two of you. Get married on our bluff overlooking the Missouri River, or in our beautiful chapel—at sunset both spots are breathtaking. We will make your elopement as planned or spontaneous as you dream it to be. **Micro Weddings**—If your vision includes your closest family and friends (and maybe your dog) our micro weddings take the elopement concept to the next level. Gather your tribe together to celebrate your love in a comfortable, intimate setting. Trust us to craft a day, or even a weekend, you’ll remember forever. **Classic/Traditional/Modern Weddings**—We can’t call them “regular” because every wedding is unique at Hermann Hill. There’s no “church lady” here to tell you that you can’t do things your way. We love trying new things—like, maybe your dog is your best-man, or you want a queso fountain at your reception. Whether we are hosting two or two-hundred, we go out of our way to make your event shine as bright as your love does. **Streaming**—Any guests that can’t attend your wedding, no matter which style is yours, can join you remotely with our live event streaming services.

What seems like a far-off, distant event is now right around the corner. As you plan for a busy (and exciting!) week ahead, don’t forget to add these to-dos to your shrinking list of last-minute wedding preparations. **7 Things to Do the Week of Your Wedding** **Marriage License.** If you don’t have it yet, get it! This is a huge step toward becoming Mr. and Mrs. Ask someone to take your picture with your marriage license and celebrate with lunch afterwards. Then when you get home, check to make sure all documents are accounted for and your two witnesses are lined up to sign it. **Meet with Your Coordinator.** A source of steady reassurance, your wedding coordinator knows how anxious and excited you are about the days ahead. Call on your wedding best friend (that’s what we call them at Hermann Hill) to help you navigate this emotion-filled final week. Together you’ll run through your wedding day timelines, allowing them to be fresh in your mind as you inch closer to this ever-important day. Going over the plans will soothe your nerves, too. **Make a Get-Ready Playlist.** There is a lot to do on the morning of your big day. Have a playlist on tap that you can jam out to or be serenaded by – whatever your style – as you get ready. Our top favorites include: - “Love Story” by Taylor Swift - “You’re The One That I Want” from Grease - “Good as Hell” by Lizzo - “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” by Shania Twain - “We Found Love” by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris - “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo - “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper Include those songs that you loved while you were growing up, too. At Hermann Hill, we notice quite a difference in excitement levels with a well-thought out playlist. So be sure to take some time to put yours together – just the way *you* want it. **Get a Couples Massage.** Really – what is more relaxing than a couples massage? Calm your nerves and release tension with a soothing massage the week before your wedding. Alongside our [luxurious boutique hotel](https://www.hermannhill.com/missouri-travel-guide/celebration-ideas-hermann-mo) and secluded [river bluff cottages](https://www.hermannhill.com/blog/2020/02/river-bluff-cottages-offer-a-romantic-escape.html), Hermann Hill has a [state-of-the-art spa](https://www.hermannhill.com/spa) that makes for a perfect spot for a bit of respite before your wedding day activities. Be sure to make an appointment a few weeks in advance. **Designate Someone to Keep You Fed.** What will you eat while you are getting ready? Staying hydrated and fed prevents tension headaches and other side effects of normal stress that often accompanies a wedding ceremony. Putting someone in charge of making sure you are taking care of yourself in the hours leading up to your big day ensures you are feeling your best. And at Hermann Hill, we offer a light lunch option – making it convenient for you and your wedding party. **Manicures and Pedicures.** Whether you go solo or with your entire wedding party, getting your nails done is one of the more fun things to do before your big day. Our wedding team recommends scheduling this 1-2 days before and bringing the shade with you the day of in case of emergencies. **Plan a Date Night.** Have a date night with your soon-to-be-spouse but challenge yourselves to not talk about the wedding at all. Push the wedding planning details aside for the night. Focus on the two of you and what you love about one another. Another fun idea is to recreate your first date just before you exchange vows. This time always flies by, so do your best to take deep breaths and enjoy the final days of your engagement. And if you are newly engaged and looking for a place to say, “I do,” look no further than Hermann Hill. Whether you want a ceremony two years or two weeks from now, we want to help you plan your wedding, your way! **Categories:** Weddings --- ### [Couples Shine at Hermann Hill](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/couples-shine-at-hermann-hill-blog) **Published:** September 12, 2023 **Author:** Client Admin **Content:** ![](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/Image-from-iOS-1.jpg) Cookie-cutter weddings aren’t a thing at Hermann Hill. That’s because we know your wedding is a deeply personal experience. From the ceremony date to the decor, your big day should be planned with intention. Meaningful symbols of who you are as a couple should be sprinkled throughout—whether you’ve chosen to elope or celebrate with friends and family. At Hermann Hill, we believe in planning “your wedding, your way.” Your dream becomes our dream. And we are experts at turning dreams into reality—including weddings that have been put on hold in 2020. Take Bethany and Cole Mather, for example. They were married at Hermann Hill on June 27, 2020, after suddenly needing to change venues just a month before their big day. “The only major thing I had to change was my venue,” Bethany said. “I didn’t have to change my date or cut my guest count. When Teckla called me back, saying that we could have it on our date with no restrictions, we were basically sold!” Stories like these remind us of why we’re here. It’s about creating an atmosphere as unique as our couples, ensuring the essence of their relationship shines through in as many ways as possible.

Love is the tie that binds us together, the light on our path and the reason we keep going in the face of the unknown. Being loved gives us the confidence that, whatever comes, we will face it together. Love is stronger than viruses, fires and floods. Love sustains us. Love Wins. At Hermann hill, our couples have faced difficult questions surrounding their weddings this year. If we are limiting our gatherings, what do we do about our wedding? If we can’t have a big wedding this year, should we still get married in 2020 at all? These are big and deeply personal questions. It’s OK to be unsure of the right path. The one thing we’re confident of, though, is this—when you look back on this crazy year, you shouldn’t have any regrets when it comes to love. Love conquers all, even 2020. So, let’s look at your options: **Go for it**. Love wins. Get married. Celebrate that love—just the two of you. Elopements are more popular than ever before, and with good reason. You can elope with little planning and on very short notice. Gone are the days when eloping meant sneaking off to a far-away destination. Have yours right here at Hermann Hill. We still have dates available for 2020 and 2021, but don’t wait. As the year draws to a close with so much division and uncertainty, love shouldn’t be put on the back burner. Make it official. **Stop thinking in absolutes**. This is not an either/or proposition. There are no rules, no playbook you’re required to follow. Just follow your heart. You can elope now, just the two of you, and still gather your tribe for a ceremony and reception later. Or schedule the whole thing for your dream date in 2021 or beyond. The power to choose is yours. Own it. Make a plan together that will honor your love and commitment. You’ll know you’ve made the right decisions when you feel that special, content joy that comes from knowing your love is at the center of it all. **Bigger doesn’t mean better**. You can scale back your dream wedding to an elopement for two or a micro-wedding with fewer guests without sacrificing any of the personality and style you dreamed of for your special day. Fewer guests should never equate to a lack of splendor. Whether it’s decadent extravagance or minimalist simplicity, it’s all still on the table. Stream the festivities for those that can’t be there in person, and have your day—your way. **Adore the location**. Whatever choices you make for your wedding, don’t miss the opportunity to ground it all in a place that brings you pleasure. Not just a venue, but a haven from the everyday. A place where you can wed, gather, eat, sleep and play without leaving the serenity of this one sacred spot. A place that’s always there for you to return to, to relive the experience and reconnect with each other. We invite you to make our place your place. Hermann Hill really is unique. If you’ve never been here, you need to experience it first-hand to get it. There’s nothing ordinary or generic about it. This is a place that redefines the word hospitality. This is a bespoke experience made just for you. Hermann Hill isn’t just a hall that you rent for a party—or a hotel room that you sleep in as you pass through. This is your place. It morphs into just what you need. Here you can find calm, quiet and respite. Here you can experience nature, immerse yourself in history or cut the world off and just be… Hermann Hill is a place where your love can be anchored forever. Elope here. Celebrate here. Honeymoon here. Come back and relive it all year-after-year. Your dreams aren’t canceled. You’re not in this alone. We have been in the thick of the events of this year right alongside you. We’ve perfected the art of matrimony, even in 2020. Whether you’re eloping with a party of two or celebrating with 200, we’re here to make it perfect. We’re here to make it yours. Be brave. Be bold. Don’t be afraid to make these decisions now. If you don’t put your love first, who will? It’s never too late to elope—just like it’s never too early to start planning your wedding for 2021 and beyond. Book a tour today, let us help you celebrate your love, now and always. And congratulations on finding each other. Revel in the blessing that love is in your life. Nothing trumps that—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you, to show you what Hermann Hill Happy is all about. **Categories:** Weddings --- ### [Stunning August 18th Summer Wedding in Missouri](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/august-18th-wedding) **Published:** August 21, 2018 **Author:** Client Admin **Content:** ![Bride and groom embrace at sunset](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/Rogers-wedding-chelsea-and-schandler-0247.jpg) “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” -Audrey Hepburn At Hermann Hill, we love a beautiful summer wedding!

After all, your big day should be as unique as the two of you. Create an outside the box experience for your guests with the following tips: **Pick a Fun Theme** A Masquerade theme is always fun— guess who is behind the mask! Or how about a holiday-themed party? December weddings would be beautifully accented by a Christmas tree at the entrance along with a hot cocoa bar to make your Christmas theme come alive. Incorporating a National Day to your wedding could also be fun for your guests. If you would like to serve margaritas, you may want to plan your nuptials for Feb. 22. **Champagne Toast** Invite your guests to become part of the wedding instead of being observers. Conclude your ceremony with Hermann Hill’s Signature champagne toast. Use this spotlight to thank your friends and family for being part of your special moment – and all of those to come. **Not Your Normal Wedding Food** Your menu does not have to consist of a fancy four-course meal to be extraordinary. And food is one of the most expressive elements of any gathering. Surprise your guests with Mexican cuisines like a fajita bar, a Brunch menu or the delicious combination of chicken and waffles. The possibilities are truly endless. **Fun Frozen Beverages** These are great, refreshing options for any season — not just during summer months. Offer your guests unique beverage options such frozen sangrias, margaritas, White Russians or mojitos. This would truly complete the experience! **Invite the Fur Baby to be a Part of Your Day** You might feel that your wedding would not be perfect without your fur babies. Bring your pets to be part of your special day with their own role as “flower dog” or “ruff bearer.” Also consider bringing them to participate in your photographs— treat incentives are highly recommended. **Invite your Guests to Switch from Traditional Attire to a Themed Attire** Encourage your guests to match your theme! A fun idea would be for them to bring an extra outfit to change into later. Consider Halloween costumes for an October wedding or poodle skirts to break out on the dance floor with a 1950’s theme. **Check out the Night Sky on Etsy** If you and your spouse-to-be are in touch with nature, there are many interesting ways to engage your guests at the beautiful scenery Hermann Hill has to offer. Check out the night sky on Etsy to find a picture of the night sky on your wedding date and display it at your ceremony. Give your special day a magical ending by inviting your guests to enjoy the night sky. Express to your new spouse how much they mean to you by showing them a star that you have named after them*—*and don’t forget a telescope! **Unforgettable Moments** The day you get married should be fun, romantic and unforgettable. Make each moment as unique as you are with creative details and personal touches that you and your guests can cherish forever. However you decide to design your wedding day, count on Hermann Hill Weddings. We’ll ensure your ceremony and reception are exactly the way you want them to be – from start to finish.[ Take a tour of our venue](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wedding-tours) (in-person or virtual) today! **Categories:** Weddings --- ### [Beautiful September 2nd Missouri Wedding at Sunset](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/september-2nd-wedding) **Published:** September 5, 2018 **Author:** Client Admin **Content:** ![Bride and groom kiss](https://hermannmoweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/P-47.jpg) “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” -Helen Keller Hermann Hill is known for some beautiful sunsets and Callie and Nick’s was one of the best!

We cannot get over how truly stunning Ellie and Kyle’s wedding day was on September 8, 2018. We knew from the beginning that this Baltimore, MD couple was going to have a unique and fun wedding. From the Bride’s perfect red nail polish, to the various shades of delicate pink dresses, and the fun trip around charming Hermann, we could get over all of Ellie’s perfect details.

In fact, micro weddings are a perfect solution for minimalist couples. **What is a Micro Wedding?** Just as the name implies, a micro wedding has all the elements of a full-size wedding but on a much smaller scale. The couple typically invites family and only close friends, keeping the guest list to 50 or less. Micro weddings are not to be confused with an [elopement](https://hermannmoweddings.com/packages) (although at Hermann Hill, we have three elopement packages and love those, too!), which suggests secretive, spur-of-the-moment nuptials for two. Micro weddings are intentional, well-planned and intimate ceremonies. They are perfect for couples looking to celebrate their love with only their closest loved ones and friends by their side. **Benefits of a Micro Wedding** Planning your wedding means you have a lot to consider. Yet, micro weddings come together effortlessly when you have Hermann Hill’s [creative team of wedding experts](https://hermannmoweddings.com/our-wedding-coordinators) on your side. These are just a few of the reasons we see couples choosing to have micro weddings. **Save Money (or Spoil Your Guests)** Fewer guests mean you will save money on your big day. Yet, while micro weddings can be lighter on the pocketbook, some couples choose to spend their entire budget on high-end details that would be cost-prohibited with a large number of guests. Some couples shower their wedding guests with extra-special treatment by paying for their [accommodations ](https://www.hermannhill.com)and transportation as part of their wedding budget—something they couldn’t pull-off if they planned a larger ceremony. **Break Tradition** With a micro wedding, you can be wildly creative with how your wedding plays out. That’s because smaller weddings naturally seem to encourage less traditional expectations. What could you include in your big day with a smaller group that just feels like you? **Quality Over Quantity** Your wedding doesn’t have to include every Facebook friend—you know, the ones that feel more like acquaintances? By choosing a micro wedding, newlyweds can prioritize spending quality time with each loved one at their event—rather than having an overwhelming number of people to touch base with for only a minute or two between dances. What bride hasn’t dreamed of a dazzling fairy tale wedding as a young girl? A micro wedding can make that dream possible—whether you want a quiet setting with minimal details or an elaborate affair with the ones you cherish the most! **Hermann Hill—the Perfect Place for a Micro Wedding!** Hermann Hill offers a special [Micro Wedding Package](https://hermannmoweddings.com/packages) for couples, which includes inviting up to 50 guests. Work with one of our talented wedding coordinators to start expertly designing the micro wedding of your dreams!

[Hermann Hill Weddings](https://hermannmoweddings.com/) is here to help you with the wedding of your dreams. ## Creative Wedding Possibilities at Hermann Hill Like the rest of the world, the current public health crisis has forced us to adapt and make changes. Luckily, we have a creative team of wedding experts that want nothing more than to help couples have beautiful ceremonies that they will never forget. Here are a few ways we have adapted to offer wedding celebrations at Hermann Hill! **Live Streaming** Many of our couples plan to live stream their wedding ceremonies for those guests who cannot attend. Live streaming copes with the new reality that some guests simply will not fly on airlines. Many couples can’t wait to exchange their vows so they have opted for an intimate ceremony that they will share with their loved ones via a virtual celebration! **Outdoor Ceremonies** Tying the knot in the splendor of mother nature remains unmatched when the stars line up and everything comes together nicely for your special day. Our multiple [outdoor ceremony sites](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/how-to-plan-an-outdoor-wedding-at-hermann-hill) were growing in popularity prior to this crisis and most of our couples are planning to have more events including their ceremony with an outdoor component. As long as your florist is flexible, couples can make a very last minute decision to move their ceremony into our climate-controlled chapel if the weather proves uncooperative. Our wedding experts will ensure your day is no less than perfect, even if backup plans have to be engaged. Plus, because our outdoor areas are concrete, we can spread out photo booths, bars, appetizers, and dinner seating. Our[ outdoor Gazebo and River Bluff](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/how-to-plan-an-outdoor-wedding-at-hermann-hill/) venues provide a scenic backdrop that allows for gorgeous photo opportunities, any time of day. The ceremony sites are well lit for evening events, and air-conditioned restrooms are available. It’s also the perfect place for you guests to gather for more drone photography following your dinner and enjoying the sunset! **Elopements** If you can’t wait any longer to tie the knot, our wedding coordinators can put together a spontaneous, intimate wedding for just the happy couple. Call 314-800-3295 for more details. Hermann Hill Weddings offers three different Elopement packages, ranging from a 60-90 minute onsite use of our venue. We can even live-stream your elopement, so your family and friends can share in this joyous occasion! **Micro Weddings** When the time comes and groups of 10 or more can gather again, consider planning the trend-setting [micro wedding](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/microweddings-your-guide-to-planning-an-intimate-ceremony/). Micro weddings provide all of the elegance and luxuries of a large wedding but are scaled back to 50 guests or less. The money you save on a smaller reception could be used for upgrades to your wedding package or to help your guests with their lodging expenses. (Plus, live-streaming is available for micro weddings, too.) ## Choose Hermann Hill Because… We know how to host amazing weddings, regardless of the constraints. It’s what we do! Regardless of world events, budget constraints and other unforeseen obstacles, Hermann Hill Weddings is determined to provide the day you’ve been dreaming of!

We're the Place to Go.](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/all-dressed-up-were-the-place-to-go) **Published:** May 15, 2020 **Author:** Client Admin **Content:** Your wedding day is your dreams turned into reality—a day (or several days) filled with family and friends, magic and intimacy. You’ve found the perfect venue and planned out all the details. And then the rug was pulled out from under you. The current health crisis has changed the landscape of the wedding industry. We’ve heard from many anxious couples whose chosen venue has been forced to cancel their event. Our hearts break for you—and for our friends in the industry. We know that those venues wanted to enjoy your day with you and hated to cancel. So, here you are—ready to get all dressed up and with no place to go. Rescheduling your wedding is not something you want to deal with. At Hermann Hill, we get it. We are fortunate to be able to be open for weddings, right now. We are an all-inclusive venue nestled in the outskirts of a small, rural community in the heart of Missouri’s wine country. We are secluded from the big cities, while only a short train ride from across the state or if you’re coming from across the country, an easy drive from the airport in St. Louis. And, here’s the thing—we can offer a truly all-inclusive destination wedding experience for you and your guests with very little notice. In fact, even before the current state of the world became our new “normal,” we were proud to offer last-minute weddings as one of our many specialties. Whether we have weeks or years to pull off your dream wedding—our [wedding coordinators](https://hermannmoweddings.com/our-wedding-coordinators) will take the stress off of you and become the wedding BFFs you’ve always dreamed of. [**Which wedding style is yours?**](https://hermannmoweddings.com/packages) **Elopements**—get married on our bluff overlooking the Missouri River at sunset, just the two of you. These intimate events have always been enjoyed here at Hermann Hill—and our secluded river bluff cottages offer the perfect honeymoon escape. **Micro Weddings**—Take the elopement concept to the next level with a micro wedding. Gather your tribe together to celebrate your love in a comfortable, intimate setting. Choosing a smaller event doesn’t mean that you have to lose the experience you’ve been dreaming of. Trust us to craft a day, or even a weekend, you’ll remember forever. **Classic/Traditional/Modern Weddings**—We can’t call them “regular” because every wedding is unique at Hermann Hill. There’s no “church lady” here to tell you that you can’t do things your way. We love trying new things—like, maybe your dog is your best-man, or you want a queso fountain at your reception. Whether we are hosting two or two-hundred, we go out of our way to make your event shine as bright as your love does. (Yes, we can also turn down that lovie-dovie vibe… a little… we kinda like it.) **Streaming**—Any guests that can’t attend your wedding in person can join you remotely with our live event streaming services. Life doesn’t always go as planned, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the wedding you want. Take control back.

Here’s a little secret⁠ — impressing those who are there to witness your nuptials is as simple as making their experience your priority. **All About the Food and Drinks** The best way to make your guests feel welcome at your celebration is by giving them many options to choose from. Set the tone with an open bar! Allow your guests to indulge in their favorite libations, like daiquiris or Piña Coladas, a glass of champagne or something as simple as an ice cold beer. Consider offering various food options throughout the entirety of your celebration. This includes everything from appetizers as your guests arrive at your reception, to a late night snack a couple hours after the main dinner course. In the midst of all the wedding preparation for the day, don’t forget to treat your wedding party. Feed all those who are part of your wedding team, before and after your ceremony. After all, nothing says “I appreciate you” quite like an assortment of tasty food and drinks. **Make Sure Your Guests Are Taken Care Of** The perfect host makes sure their guests are comfortable at all times. It’s hard to expect the unexpected, but your wedding coordinator(s) can help with this! Always have a back-up plan, like moving the ceremony inside if it’s raining — most guests would not appreciate being caught in the bad weather. Supply umbrellas if moving indoors is not an option. For outdoor weddings during warmer months, your guests would likely appreciate iced tea, lemonade and hand-held fans. During the cooler months you may consider coffee, hot chocolate and blankets. Providing the perfect balance between indoor and outdoor party options would be ideal so your guests can mingle and stay comfortable according to their temperature preferences. **Invite Both Families to Come Together** Ditch the seating charts and invite both families to come together. You and your partner are starting a new life together. Your wedding is the perfect opportunity for both sides of the family to get to know each other. Encourage them to share precious family memories and enjoy their time together. Placing fun games, like cornhole boards or horseshoe toss, at different areas of your reception will make for many laughs and lasting memories for both families. **Get Your Guests Groovin’** Your DJ or band are the best people to keep your party alive well into the night. Rely on them for advice on how to create the perfect balance of different music genres that fits the guests’ tastes and your own. What classic songs or dances do your families enjoy? Trust that your DJ or band will use their skills to MC the night and help with the flow of your entire reception. **You Can Count on Hermann Hill** We can help you create the ultimate experience for your guests! When notified in advance, our in-house chef can assist with creating special meals for guests with allergies or dietary restrictions or preferences. We can also assist in helping serve some refreshments. Our multiple venue options provide the ideal combination of indoor and outdoor seating spots, making the comfort of your guests a priority. Give your guests an experience they’ll talk about for years to come with a celebration at Hermann Hill! **Categories:** Weddings --- ### [Fun Ways to Break Wedding Tradition and Do Your Own Thing](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/fun-ways-to-break-wedding-tradition-and-do-your-own-thing) **Published:** August 20, 2020 **Author:** Client Admin **Content:** From white dresses and dreamy chapel settings to not seeing your soon-to-be-spouse before the ceremony, there are many wedding traditions ingrained in us from a young age. Although there is nothing wrong with incorporating these traditions into your big day, at Hermann Hill, we want to help you plan **your** wedding, **your** way—even if that means breaking the rules and doing something truly unique. ## Fun Ways to Break Wedding Traditions Our [wedding coordinators](https://hermannmoweddings.com/our-wedding-coordinators) love helping engaged couples create meaningful ceremonies full of memorable moments. Incorporating elements of your relationship that brought you and your significant other together into your big day is what we do best! Sometimes that means stepping outside of the traditional wedding planning journey and forging a new path more suited to you and your style. Here are a few ideas to get you started planning your wedding, your way! **Wedding Gowns** The white wedding dress was made famous by Queen Victoria when she chose white to show off her lacy gown and her wealth. Even back then, brides chose dresses of varying colors for practicality as gowns were typically worn more than once. Choosing a colored wedding dress is becoming more and more popular again as brides long to portray a style that is truly all their own. **Wedding Party** Much like the evolution of the wedding dress, bridesmaids’ dresses are changing, too. It’s challenging to find a dress style that looks fabulous on different body types. Many brides are appointing their bridesmaids with the task of finding a dress they love, so long as it’s the appropriate color or a particular length. Speaking of wedding roles, a new trend of mixed-gender wedding parties is emerging. Who says a sister can’t stand in as “best woman” to her brother if they are particularly close? Or a bride’s male friend acting as a “bridesmaid?” Get creative and make your big day meaningful to the only one that matters on your wedding day—you! **First Look** Is it terrible luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony? This tradition was customary in arranged marriages so that the groom couldn’t change his mind if he didn’t like his bride’s looks. Since you already know how your partner looks, you can ditch this tradition and instead do a “first look” photo. There’s something magical about seeing each other in your wedding attire for the first time before you say, “I do.” **Wedding Size** It used to be that couples invited anyone and everyone to their wedding. Even the parents of engaged couples would invite guests as a way to show off their child’s accomplishments. Yet a change in values seems to be taking place and couples are becoming more discerning about their ceremony size. Some are even choosing to do micro weddings for [the many benefits they entail.](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/microweddings-your-guide-to-planning-an-intimate-ceremony/) And as we navigate changing traditions, Hermann Hill is open to evolving how weddings happen—from focusing on [elopements and micro weddings](https://hermannmoweddings.com/packages) to [live streaming services](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/creative-wedding-possiblilities-for-a-ceremony-at-hermann-hill-in-2020/). Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and there is always a way to Hermann Hill! **Photography** Instead of formal portraits, which requires a considerable chunk of time, why not have the photographer capture random shots throughout the day as in more of a photojournalistic style? Or even a mix of the two? Candid memories are always more fun to revisit! There are many other implied traditions that you can skip if it doesn’t fit your needs, wants or style. Wedding toasts, the garter and bouquet toss, cake-shoving or the somewhat popular dollar dance—just to name a few. ## **Your** Wedding, **Your** Way The beauty of planning your wedding at Hermann Hill is that even though we love traditional weddings, our expert wedding coordinators thrive on the challenge of helping you plan your special day the way YOU want it. We will work hard to make your wedding day dreams come true!

Wedding planning is such a personal process and every detail has to perfectly reflect your style. We have some tips to help you navigate through this process. **Mark Your Calendars** This is the first step to ensure smooth wedding planning. Having a set date is crucial to the entire process as everyone involved in your creative team will need to sync their schedules around this date. Start out by booking your venue and work from there. **Set a Realistic Budget** Allowing a realistic budget for your big day will set you up for success and reduce some wedding-planning stress. Take some time to prioritize your must-haves! You may opt to enhance your guests’ experience with an open bar or appetizers instead of displaying big, elaborate centerpieces. **Capturing Unforgettable Moments** Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. You will not want to miss the chance to have stunning pictures to look back on and share with family for years to come. Ask your friends, family or even your venue for recommendations on photographers they have previously worked with. Take a look at their portfolios to see whose style and personality best matches your vision. Many photographers have customizable packages, depending on the amount of time and number of images you’d prefer. It is common for wedding photographers to include the option for a second shooter in their packaging. An extra set of hands on deck means more widespread coverage and angles to document your day. Just like photography, videography is an art. Each professional has their own approach to how they make their videos. Make sure you pick one that is familiar with and even embraces the style you are wanting. Keeping your videographer informed on the type of venue you are using (indoor or [outdoor](https://hermannmoweddings.com/blog/how-to-plan-an-outdoor-wedding-at-hermann-hill)) will help determine if they are a good fit. Would you prefer documentary-style coverage of your big day, or a more creative, interactive style of video? What kind of packaged end-product are you looking for – clips or an edited film? Do you think a second shooter would be valuable? Have you considered adding a magical touch to your wedding video with drone footage? These are all valuable questions to consider. **Get Groovy on the Dance Floor** Let’s not forget about one of the most important aspects of your wedding party – the beats! The best way to find the perfect DJ or band to play at your wedding is to ask which local artists offer demos of their work or mini “concerts” where they can show off their skills. Be sure you ask any DJs or bands how they interact with the crowd – do they like to mingle with the guests? Having this information is important because in many cases, the DJ, band or musician can really drive your reception as an emcee. Once you have narrowed it down to a couple choices, ask if they would be able to accommodate your venue’s layout and available features. Maybe you have a specific playlist in mind for your reception – be sure to specify this ahead of time! **Picking the Perfect Blooms** The perfect flowers will set the tone for your ceremony and reception. Once you have selected your ideal flower style, like a combination of colorful exotic amaryllis or classic red roses, you are ready to present your ideas to florists. Wedding coordinators often have great connections with local florists if you don’t already have someone in mind. They have likely seen many beautiful weddings with unique floral themes and arrangements so their expertise can be of great help. Let Hermann Hill host your dream wedding! Our wedding coordinators will make sure your ceremony and reception are flawless by helping your entire creative team work in synchrony. Our breathtaking River Bluff views will make for stunning videos, photographs and drone footage. Your special day will be nothing short of amazing so book your tour today. **Categories:** Weddings --- ## Pages ### [Welcome](https://hermannmoweddings.com/) SEO Title: Hermann Hill Weddings: Wedding & Elopement Destination in Missouri SEO Description: Our stunning wedding venue in Hermann, Missouri offers the perfect destination for a stylish and chic wedding!
