Hey there, wedding dreamers! Let’s talk about something revolutionary: small weddings that pack a massive punch of personality and intimacy.
Why Small Weddings Are Your Perfect Wedding Solution
I’ve seen countless couples stress over massive, impersonal weddings. But what if I told you that smaller can actually be more magical?
What Makes Small Weddings Special
- Deeper connections with guests
- More money for meaningful details
- Less stress, more genuine moments

Choosing Your Dream Intimate Venue
Forget traditional wedding halls. Your venue should tell YOUR story. Think:
- Family backyard with childhood memories
- That adorable restaurant where you first met
- A breathtaking national park
- An art museum that reflects your style
- A cozy ski lodge or rustic ranch
Pro Venue Tip: Pick a location that makes your heart sing, not just looks good on Instagram.
