Why Skip the Big Wedding and Choose a Small, Private Ceremony?
Many couples start wedding planning with excitement, only to realize how expensive, stressful, and overwhelming the process can be. A small wedding or elopement can be just as meaningful—without the pressure of tradition, high costs, and guest expectations.
Here’s why couples are choosing small, private weddings instead of big, expensive celebrations:
1. Save Thousands of Dollars
💰 The average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is over $30,000 (The Knot). Why spend a fortune when you can have a beautiful, intimate wedding for a fraction of the cost?
- No need for an expensive venue, catering, and décor
- Eliminate costs for a big guest list
- More money for your future together—house, honeymoon, or savings!

2. Less Stress, More Love
⏳ Planning a big wedding can take months (or even years!) and cause unnecessary stress.
- No pressure to impress guests
- Skip family drama and wedding politics
- Focus on what truly matters—your love and commitment

3. A More Intimate & Meaningful Experience
❤️ When it’s just the two of you (or a small group of loved ones), your wedding becomes truly special and personal.
- Your vows and emotions take center stage
- Enjoy a private, romantic ceremony without distractions
- Make the moment about YOU—not about a big production
