FAQs.
What's the difference between an elopement and a micro wedding?
While elopements typically involve just the couple (or perhaps 2-4 guests), micro weddings include 5-50 of your closest friends and family. Micro weddings maintain many traditional wedding elements—ceremony, reception, toasts, perhaps a first dance—but on a more intimate scale with a focus on quality experiences over quantity of guests.
How do I choose the right Missouri micro wedding venue?
Selecting the right venue depends on your guest count, desired ambiance, and the experience you want to create. Some couples prefer exclusive boutique venues, while others opt for scenic outdoor locations with nearby reception options. During our consultation, we'll discuss your vision and guest needs to recommend venues that can accommodate your intimate group while providing the atmosphere you desire.
How far in advance should I book my Missouri micro wedding?
We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance for prime dates and locations, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines depending on the season and venue availability. Micro weddings generally require less lead time than traditional weddings but still benefit from thoughtful planning.
Do you offer catering services for micro weddings?
While we don't provide catering directly, we connect you with exceptional local caterers, private chefs, and restaurants that specialize in intimate gatherings. From family-style farm-to-table dinners to sophisticated multi-course experiences, we'll help you create a memorable dining experience for your select guests.
