MicroWeddings

Create memorable moments with a smaller ceremony.

Microweddings are the perfect choice for those who want to spend quality time with friends and family on their special day. The timeline and flow of the day are more relaxed than at a larger wedding with plenty of time for vows, photos, good food, and dancing!
