For Lindsey and John, choosing Trummer’s for their intimate brunch elopement was a perfect match. They wanted a low-key, meaningful celebration to say “I do,” surrounded by the people they love most, followed by amazing food and wine. Trummer’s, with its cozy yet elegant setting, provided just the right atmosphere for their day.
The couple exchanged vows inside Trummer’s, in a room flooded with natural light from its many windows. The ceremony was heartfelt and simple—just what Lindsey and John had envisioned. Afterward, while the staff at Trummer’s flipped the room for their brunch reception, guests moved to the deck to enjoy drinks and mingle in the fresh air. It was a relaxed, joyful time filled with laughter, hugs, and plenty of conversation.
One of the standout moments during the reception was when Lindsey and John had their first dance to the theme song from Gilmore Girls. Lindsey’s love for the show is well-known, and it was such a personal touch that made the day uniquely theirs.
Their reception was filled with warmth, connection, and lots of fun moments. The brunch menu was, of course, outstanding—just as you’d expect from Trummer’s. Every dish was crafted to perfection, adding another layer of delight to the day. Lindsey and John’s focus on spending quality time with each guest was clear; they moved through the room with ease, savoring every conversation and every embrace.
This elopement was the perfect reminder that weddings don’t have to be grand to be special. Sometimes, the most meaningful celebrations are the ones that focus on what really matters—love, family, and enjoying the little moments with those who mean the most.
If you’re considering an intimate wedding or elopement, Trummer’s Restaurant in Clifton offers the ideal mix of cozy charm, excellent food, and a welcoming vibe that makes everyone feel at home. Lindsey and John’s day was a beautiful example of how a small, relaxed gathering can be just as impactful as a larger affair—and just as full of love.
