What kind of hospitality can be achieved in a small wedding?

Are there brides who are having weddings with only family, relatives, and close friends? It's not uncommon these days for brides to invite only the people who truly matter to them, holding what is called a "small wedding." A small wedding typically has around 40 guests or fewer. ♩

A wedding with only important people allows for many types of hospitality that cannot be achieved in larger weddings. *If you are a bride planning to have a small wedding, or you are a bride who is hesitant about whether to have a wedding or not, please consider a small wedding as an option.* ◎

【Hospitality unique to small weddings】① Dining with guests at the tables＊

In a small wedding, the bride and groom can move around and dine at the guest tables. *For example, if there are 40 guests and 5 round tables that seat 8, and if the wedding course is French cuisine, it includes [appetizers, soup, fish dish, meat dish, dessert]. With 5 tables, the couple can enjoy one dish at a time with each table of guests.* ♡
