Small Weddings
We have been hosting small weddings for two decades and still love it as much as we did when we started. The biggest lesson we have learned is that every wedding is individual, whether for 2 or 8 guests.
In today’s world of extravagant celebrations, small weddings offer a refreshing alternative that focuses on what truly matters: the connection between two people and their closest loved ones. These intimate gatherings provide a unique blend of personalization, meaningful interaction, and financial flexibility that larger events often can’t match.
Small weddings create space for genuine connections. With fewer guests, couples can actually spend quality time with everyone who attends, creating deeper memories rather than brief, rushed conversations.
This intimacy extends to venue options as well. Spaces that couldn’t accommodate hundreds suddenly become perfect, unique backdrops for your special day.
From the colourful and flamboyant to the intimate and reserved, our job is to ensure that you get your dream wedding. Our internal wedding team will work with you from day one to guarantee that every aspect of your dream wedding is realised.
Perhaps most importantly, small weddings reduce stress. With fewer moving parts to coordinate, couples can be more present and actually enjoy their wedding day. The planning process becomes more manageable, allowing the focus to remain on the commitment being made rather than elaborate logistics.
For those concerned about disappointing extended family or friends, remember that your wedding day is ultimately about celebrating your relationship in a way that feels authentic to you. Many find that those who truly care will understand and support your vision for an intimate celebration that reflects who you are as a couple.
Small weddings aren’t just scaled-down versions of traditional celebrations – they’re a thoughtful approach to beginning your marriage surrounded by genuine connection, intention, and joy.
Flowers, dresses, menus, hair and make-up, decorations – we will work hand in hand with you to make sure that your wedding takes place as you always dreamed.
If you are interested, please contact us to arrange a showround, either in person or virtually.
