People and Planet Friendly Weddings

HAPPY EARTH DAY! 

I'd be lying if I didn't say this is a play off our name GREENE in some way. :) We are working on possible discounts for people and planet friendly weddings... the greener you are; the more you'll get back! Not officially in effect yet but here is what we have so far.

It started small but developed much bigger. It would be a focus on human health aspects including chemical-free and making events safer for those that have special health needs related to the environment (asthma, other breathing disorders, allergies, weakened immune systems, as these are becoming more common at weddings). Although this would not focus so much on recycled items, it would as a whole and the end turn-out would also be healthy for the environment.

Some examples would be flame-less candles rather than scented candles, essential oils rather than perfumes, no chemical air fresheners, no pesticides or asking the reception hall to use safer cleaners such as Seventh Generation before hand rather than bleach... Just to name a few. It's one of those projects that got so big and we keep finding more and more ideas it's hard to collectively make a package to fit it all in.

It would be noted and noticed at your wedding and the discounts would be given after the wedding to prove that it was done.

Please contact us in the meantime if you are interested in a truly 'greene' wedding... then see the Greenest Weddings I've covered so far and the runner-ups:
