Door County 2009 Visitor Guide - (Page 146) Weddings, Reunions & Meetings EVents PlanneR WEDDING AT THE LANDMARk RESORT © TOM OTTE O nce upon a time a bride and her groom exchanged vows according to clearly defined, long held traditions. But today’s betrothed couples are breaking all the rules and weddings are far from “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” According to recent statistics, one of the newest trends in the exchange of vows is destination weddings, which account for approximately 16% of all marriages. A beneficiary of the new wave of out-of-town weddings, Door County is the perfect setting for creating happily ever-after memories. “The increase in Door County destination weddings is based on everything special we have to offer,” said Jon Jarosh, Door County Visitor Bureau marketing director. “Not only do we offer a beautiful location, but it also becomes a get away for the wedding party, family, and friends,” One of the first and most important decisions couples cross off their to-do list is choosing the perfect romantic location for the wedding ceremony. And with its limitless selection of beautiful settings, Door County is a shooting star. With its diversity of scenic stage areas – state, county, and municipal parks, quaint bed and breakfasts, beachside resorts, barns and backyards, museums and galleries – the Door Peninsula is picture-perfect. Toast the newlyweds with champagne on the beach or at a candlelit dinner in a gazebo, the Door County destination wedding experience is one that will last long after the “just married” sign disappears into the setting sun. From the solitude of Washington Island to the Belgian heritage of southern Door, Cupid’s arrow targets romance every month of the year. – by atricia odgers Making Memories with family & friends 146 The Official Door County Visitor Guide
