Whether it’s been five years or fifty, renewing your vows is a beautiful way to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far you’ve come together. It’s not about recreating your wedding day (unless you want to!). It’s about honoring your journey in a way that feels personal, peaceful, and full of heart.
We’ve hosted vow renewals at Tranquility Farm that are as unique as the couples celebrating them.
If you’re wondering how to plan a vow renewal without the stress, here’s a guide to help you plan a celebration that feels grounded and true to you.
Decide Why You’re Renewing
There’s no rulebook. Some couples choose to renew vows on a milestone anniversary (hello, 10 or 25 years!), while others do it after a big life season, or simply because they want to. Naming your “why” gives your ceremony even more meaning and can shape the tone of your day.
Pick A Place That Reflects You
Your venue sets the tone, and for something as intimate and intentional as a vow renewal, you want a setting that allows you to slow down and soak it all in. Picture an open-air ceremony surrounded by trees, or a cozy indoor space with your closest loved ones gathered. If that’s your vibe, we’ve got you.
Keep The Guest List Simple
One of the best things about vow renewals? You can make them as intimate as you like. Whether it’s just the two of you or a few friends and family, the smaller scale often means more meaningful moments and less planning pressure.
Write Your Own Vows (If You Want)
There’s no script required. Some couples reread their original vows. Others write new ones that reflect everything they’ve lived, learned, and loved over the years. Either way, your words don’t have to be fancy; they just have to be yours.
Create A Moment To Reconnect
Give yourselves time before or after the ceremony to just be together. At Tranquility Farm, we’ve had couples sip coffee in the gardens, take a walk through the woods, or simply sit hand-in-hand in our Newlywed Suite before greeting guests. You deserve a moment to breathe it all in.
Add Touches That Feel Like You
This could be your favorite meal, your wedding song playing softly in the background, or a slideshow of photos from your years together. Vow renewals don’t need to be extravagant. They just need to be yours.
Let Go Of Perfection
This isn’t about impressing anyone. It’s about celebrating your love in a way that feels honest and calm. Embrace the beauty in simplicity, let go of rigid timelines, and trust that what makes this day special is the two of you.
