Weddings have changed.
Before the pandemic hit in March, weddings were the ultimate large gathering. They were an excuse to bring the old and the young together to celebrate love and tradition.
Now, weddings look much different, but that doesn’t mean the charm isn’t there anymore. Couples who decided not to postpone their wedding amid the pandemic are now reimagining their big day to be a little smaller.
“Many couples have decided to do smaller, more intimate weddings,” said Christine Ashburn, owner of The Soiree Studio. “As long as they’re able to still have their wedding in the county in which it’s taking place and make it happen with current government regulations, they don’t want to wait.

“We’re doing everything we can, but we’re hanging on for dear life and becoming really good friends with our landlord,” Casey said.
The business hasn’t been sitting idle, however. In an effort to diversify the music hall’s offerings, Casey has launched Events at 10 Mile with the help of three local women involved in event planning and marketing.
