Mini-Matrimony
Perhaps you were always planning a small, intimate wedding ceremony or vow renewal. Perhaps your larger wedding plans were postponed to a time when you can once again celebrate carefree with all your friends and family. Regardless your reasons, a mini-matrimony is the perfect way to share your moment of commitment with your closest loved ones.

What is a mini-matrimony?
Other than one of the newest trends in the wedding industry, a mini-matrimony gives you all the benefits you want in a wedding ceremony, plus extras with minimal hassle and cost. A mini-matrimony allows you to solidify your union or to honor your first proposed wedding date. Further down the line, you may choose to throw a larger reception.
What is included in a mini-matrimony?
We're glad you asked. Your personal wedding coordinator will assist you in the planning of your mini-matrimony for up to 30 guests (yes, we provide an experienced wedding planner at no additional cost).
Officiant: You will work with the Officiant to personalize your ceremony
Photographer: One photographer for one hour
Wedding Cake: You will be able to choose a cake flavor from available choices
