EXPERIENCE

We discovered that there were too many couples out there who wanted to have a beautiful and well-orchestrated wedding day with just a few loved ones or up to 50 guests, but finding venues and vendors that fit the budget for a small-scale wedding was too hard. 

We created this micro wedding offering to help these couples find high-quality options that won't require them to spend as much as a couple planning a traditional wedding with 150 guests. 

We partnered with top professionals to  take the guess work out of planning. so you can have the most special and enjoyable wedding day in a way that is uniquely you!

We offer a variety of service levels for every client's unique needs. For a more involved planning experience, we can begin working with you from the very beginning in creating a concept, refining your vision and translating it into a cohesive design plan, sourcing your vendor team, planning the details, managing your budget, sending task reminders, attending design meetings, and wrapping up all the logistics prior to the event date where our team will assist with setup, overseeing the whole event, and ensuring thorough breakdown at the end. 

From here, we can scale down the level of involvement you would like from us. Simply hiring our team for event management is a great option for party hosts who want to enjoy their event with their cherished guests  without any stress or worry about managing the logistics of the day. Relax and allow our team to be your go-to event professionals!
