A millennial wedding is even special on its own — and not just because it's a wedding. There's a certain type of energy when millennials attend and take part of a wedding. They are looking for and are bringing the cosmopolitan feel of the big city to the romantic scenery of the countryside. They are most excited about dressing up, dancing, and visiting a new place, and the Hudson Valley is the perfect destination for those things.
Venues, like The Links at Union Vale, are finding that the tastes and expectations of the new generation looking to tie the knot are changing. Food, decor and presentation are now the main points of focus. Guests are looking forward to what surprises, like what the food is going to be, and couples want something different and really good.
It's all about having a dedicated team who puts care into the little things that will have guests Instagramming everything from your wedding cake to the decorations. It's interesting that the little details everyone likes on Instagram or Pinterest are things that guests aren't paying attention to, but still, create the ambiance they so much enjoy.
In fact, one of the ceremony elements millennial guests value the most is the wedding location — the setting, the area, the arrangement. And The Links at Union Vale brings a Brooklyn feel in the Hudson Valley to introduce some charm to your special day. If you want your guests having the time of their lives and snapping pictures left and right, our team can brand your wedding by creating something "unique and meaningful to the couple."
Taking your wedding out of town to a location that combines the best of both worlds is one way to go above and beyond to make your wedding stand out from the crowd. And venues, like The Links at Union Vale, have the flexibility to disperse the dinner and ceremony between the serene outdoor grounds and the elegant room with glass windows. This can create the impression of having two venues for your wedding and double the fun and capacity.
There is an expectation for less formal celebration at weddings these days as couples and guests emphasized feeling comfortable and having fun. We're totally on board with that! Many millennials who book us for their wedding interpret formal attire as flannel shirts with bow ties and bohemian-style sundresses. The Links at Union Vale provides the perfect backdrop to their Brooklyn-feel, Hudson-style wedding.
