Wonderful Tiny Weddings at Cornman Farms
Small is beautiful at our amazing space in Dexter
Been thinking about a wedding that feels magical and meaningful for you and the one you love? A lot of couples dream of a one-of-a-kind, exceptionally heartfelt, beautiful ceremony. What they don’t dream about, though, is the mountain of stress that often comes with a big wedding. Guest lists running into the hundreds, endless seating charts, skyrocketing budgets, and the pressure of orchestrating an all-day production can quickly turn much-anticipated joy into agonizing overwhelm. After hearing those struggles from guests for years, the caring crew at Corman Farms created a very special style of small wedding with big impact: “The Tiny Weddings are essentially an elopement for the couple who wants the simplicity of a courthouse wedding but envisions a beautifully curated experience.”
In his classic 1973 business book, Small is Beautiful, progressive business thinker E.F. Schumacher famously says, “Any fool can make things complicated; it requires a genius to make things simple.” In the last couple years, the crew at Cornman Farms has figured out how to do the latter when it comes to getting married. Make it much simpler, but without sacrificing any of the majesty, beauty, and grace that can get lost when one gets married quickly at City Hall.
A Tiny Wedding at Cornman means the two of you, the loving couple, along with a handful of friends and family, coming together to joyfully celebrate the big day. It is both small and beautiful! The whole of a Tiny Wedding takes place over the course of an hour and a half, and it’s all done with far less complexity than the more typical big ceremony. When it’s over, you will have celebrated your love and life commitments at the award-winning, beautifully restored 1830s farmhouse at Cornman Farms in Dexter. A 15-to-20-minute drive west from the Deli, and not far up the road from the Roadhouse, Cornman has that remarkable combination of being both easy access from town, but in a setting that is still really quite rural.
The Tiny Weddings are small in size (2-10 people), but could be the quickest-growing category at Cornman. Tabitha Mason, one of the two co-managing partners, says, “Over the years, we’ve marked off more and more days to host this series of all-inclusive micro weddings in partnership with the best local Michigan wedding vendors.”
What’s included in The Tiny Wedding package? A really wonderful little wedding ceremony with a totally official officiant and so much more. The key thing to get across is that if you want to get married in a small, intimate context, at a compellingly beautiful place, this is your shot. It is surely a less stressful way to tie the knot, and still make the event marvelously memorable. Smaller size, lower cost, fewer logistics, and less lead time mean you’ll have more time, money, and energy to invest in other ways.
