This will be the 2nd wedding for both my fiance and myself. We both want something VERY small, just involving family members, and definitely NOT traditional. We want to stay local, so we don't want to do a destination wedding, but I have absolutely NO ideas for a unique ceremony / reception that is intimate and untraditional. I need help!!! Any ideas?!?!

    We just sat down and talked about what was important to us and what we wanted our day to be about.  So, I would just think of a favorite place or past time and turn that into your day.

    I agree. Do you have a favorite place or restaurant? Where did he propose? What do you like doing together? You could have a small ceremony in your favorite place or at home, then go out someplace as a family.

    The smaller your ceremony/reception are, the less you are stuck with traditional wedding vendors.  You could use the private dining room of a restaurant, your home, or a nearby park.

    Well, The Castle is gorgeous.  I know it does traditional weddings, but it can also be done on a smaller scale if elegance is important to you.

    However, if I wanted what you seem to - I'd go for one of the more historic or geographic options in Utah.  The Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, Cedar Breaks, or Bryce Canyon are all great.

    In fact, Bryce Canyon had a beautiful lodge.  I don't know if that's near you, but it's an idea! 

    Good luck and congratulations!

    Under this scenario I think you need to choose the venue and officiant first.  Maybe a B&B, restaurant, park, other special place?  Do you have an officiant (pastor, friend, etc)?  Something special to you faith or beliefs?  You will probably get some ideas from the ladies here, or try looking at offbeatbride.com for inspiration.  Good luck!

    I have no idea what kind of places to suggest in Utah, but I read an idea on the Reception board of having "activities" planned. So, they are going to do there ceremony and have cake and then change clothes and then go do a group activity (white water rafting or hiking). Now, this would really only work if you were having a SMALL wedding/reception- but it def isn't traditional!
