Even with an eye on the bridal budget, you can still create the wedding of your dreams. We just heard from bnbfinder.com, an extensive site featuring bed and breakfast properties, about just a few of their many listings that offer special all-inclusive wedding packages.
Whether it’s a romantic, country style wedding or a low-maintenance wedding at a beach, brides can have it all and more. Another bonus? B&Bs can offer brides unique locations and options that many standard venues can't as well as plenty of on site assistance from the innkeepers themselves.

- floral and bouquet arrangements
- selection of a minister or officiate
- professional photographers
- the ultimate wedding cake

Linda also accepts special requests and can easily arrange a river tubing expedition for the entire wedding party.
For couples that won't be accompanied by wedding guests, the Inn also offers a special elopement package called "Just the Two of Us," a similar package that makes saying "I do" as easy as checking in and out.
