The Barn at Belle Hills • January 24, 2025

Gone are the days of weddings feeling overly formal, rushed, and cookie-cutter. Now more than ever, couples want to incorporate their personal touch on their big day, and for many, this means creating interactive and personalized celebrations that last all weekend long.


This evolving trend makes being a wedding guest more fun than ever before! From activities like group yoga sessions on the morning of the wedding to a heartfelt send-off the next day at brunch, guests are immersed in joy and love from start to finish. Let's explore how you can create an epic, immersive wedding in Kentucky when you host at Belle Hills:

Welcome Guests with Local Charm

Set the tone for your wedding weekend by warmly welcoming guests as they arrive in the area. Arrange a casual gathering at a Crittenden local hotspot, perhaps a winery, for guests to cozy up and enjoy a wine tasting or a park so that they can take in the beautiful scenery of this area with a laid-back picnic. You can check out more inspiration for both here.


To further welcome guests into your immersive wedding experience, create personalized welcome bags, and remember they don't have to break the bank! Simply put together a thoughtfully curated bundle of local favorites like granola from a nearby artisan bakery alongside a bottle of San Pellegrino to keep guests refreshed and energized upon arrival.


Consider incorporating a small souvenir from the area, such as a keychain or magnet, to remind them of their time in Crittenden. Top off the welcome bag with a weekend itinerary and a heartfelt note from you and your sweetheart. A little goes a long way here because it's a thoughtful gesture showing how much you care about your guests.

Arrange Yoga for a Peaceful Start

The mornings of the wedding often mean butterflies fluttering in the bride and groom’s stomachs. It's the most special day, but there's preparation ahead and a little bit of relaxation goes a long way before the busyness. Consider a peaceful group yoga session for you and your guests who want to unwind after traveling before partaking in the festivities ahead. A local instructor can lead everyone through a calming class, setting a soothing tone for the big day. It's a gesture that you and your guests will appreciate dearly when the time comes!

Close the Celebrations with Brunch

Wrap up your wedding weekend with a cozy and heartfelt send-off brunch. The Barn at Belle Hills provides a wonderful space for one last gathering to treat your guests to a delicious catered late-morning breakfast—think fluffy pancakes, fresh fruit, and local coffee. It's a chance to relive the highlights of the festivities, share hugs, and memorably exchange warm send-offs. A hearty brunch ensures you and your guests start the day with full hearts and nourished bellies.
