Intimate Wedding FAQs
We define intimate as any celebration with up to 50 guests. This includes micro weddings (under 20), elopements (just the two of you, or with a handful of witnesses), and small weddings with close family and friends.
Our planning fees start from £5,000 for elopements and micro weddings, and from £7,500 for intimate weddings of 20–50 guests. This covers our planning and management — venue, catering, and supplier costs are separate and agreed in advance.
Absolutely. Some of our most meaningful work has been elopements for two. We handle the celebrant, venue, photography, flowers, and every detail — so you can be completely present in the moment.
Private dining rooms, country house libraries, walled gardens, rooftop terraces, art galleries, boutique hotels, and even private homes. We curate a shortlist based on your style, season, and guest count.
For the best venue availability, 6–12 months is ideal. However, intimate weddings are easier to plan at shorter notice — we've delivered beautiful elopements in as little as 4 weeks.
The opposite. With fewer guests, every detail is amplified. The food is more refined, the venue more exclusive, the atmosphere more emotional. Our clients consistently say their intimate wedding felt more meaningful than any large event could.
Of course. Many couples choose a private ceremony followed by an intimate dinner at a stunning restaurant or private dining room. We coordinate the full experience.
