Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about planning your intimate celebration with us.
Packages
What's included in your packages?+
Every package comes with a full-service planner, officiant, day-of coordination, and your own planning portal. The Micro Wedding and Micro Wedding Plus tiers also include vendor coordination, cake, hair & makeup, and more. Photography's available as an add-on through our partner Viera Photographics.
Do your packages include photography?+
Photography's an add-on through our partner Viera Photographics for $2,500. Every photo on our website was shot by Viera — so you can see exactly what you'd be getting. We can also recommend other photographers if you'd prefer.
What about venues and food? Are those included?+
Our packages cover everything except the venue fee and food & beverage. We did it that way on purpose — it means you get to pick the venue and dining setup that work for YOUR budget and vision. We'll help you figure out the best options during our consultations.
Can I customize my package?+
Totally. The packages are a starting point — we work with every couple to make it fit. Need a musician? Want to upgrade the florals? We'll figure it out together. Check out our add-ons or just reach out and we'll talk through it.
What's the planning portal?+
It's your personal dashboard where everything lives in one place — timeline, vendor details, open decisions, and real-time updates from us. No scattered emails, no spreadsheets. Every package includes full portal access from the moment you book.
Booking
How do I get started?+
Just fill out our contact form and tell us a bit about what you're thinking. We'll get back to you within 24 hours to set up a consultation where we can learn more about your style, guest count, and where you'd love to do this.
How far in advance should I book?+
6-12 months out is ideal, but we've pulled together beautiful weddings in as little as a few weeks. The earlier you book, the more options you'll have for venues and vendors — but no pressure if you're on a tighter timeline.
What is your cancellation policy?+
We get it — plans change. Our cancellation terms are in the planning agreement, and we'll walk through them together when you book. We always try to be fair and flexible about it.
Venues
Do you work with specific venues?+
We've got relationships with venues all over California — SF City Hall, coastal spots in Big Sur, wine country estates in Sonoma, mountain lodges at Lake Tahoe, you name it. We'll recommend places that match your style, guest count, and budget.
Can I choose my own venue?+
Of course! If you've already got a place in mind, we'll work with them directly. If you need help finding one, that's what our location consultation is for — we'll find the right space for you.
Can I get married at SF City Hall?+
Yes! It's one of our most popular spots for micro weddings and elopements. We handle the marriage license logistics, coordinate your ceremony time, and plan everything from your arrival to a private celebration dinner afterward.
Do you plan destination weddings within California?+
We do — Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Sonoma, Mendocino, Palm Springs, Santa Cruz, Marin, and more. For destination micro weddings, we handle all the coordination so you and your guests can just show up and enjoy it.
Planning
What is the planning portal?+
It's your own online dashboard where you can see your timeline, vendor info, decisions, and updates — all in one spot. No more digging through emails or spreadsheets. It's basically your wedding's home base throughout the whole process.
What does day-of coordination look like?+
Your coordinator takes care of everything on the wedding day — vendor arrivals, timeline, ceremony cues, all the behind-the-scenes stuff. They're the point person so you don't have to be. You just relax and enjoy your day. That's the whole idea.
How many guests can I have?+
Our Intimate Elopement package is for 2-10 guests. Micro Wedding covers up to 25, and Micro Wedding Plus goes up to 40. Need a few more? You can add extra guests for $50 per person.
What's the difference between a micro wedding and an elopement?+
An elopement is usually just the couple (maybe up to 4 guests) in a beautiful setting — simple and sweet. A micro wedding has more guests (up to 25-40), a full ceremony, and usually a reception with dinner. Both get the same level of planning and coordination from us.
Do you provide a day-of coordinator?+
Every single package includes one. Your coordinator manages the entire wedding day — vendor arrivals, timeline, ceremony cues, all the little things. This isn't someone with a checklist. It's a professional running your day so you don't have to.

We're in San Francisco, and we plan weddings all over California — Bay Area, wine country, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Santa Cruz, Mendocino, and Palm Springs.
How long have you been planning weddings?+
Our team has 18+ years in the wedding industry. We started Our Little Wedding because we wanted to focus on intimate celebrations — and we've now planned hundreds of micro weddings and elopements across California.
Do you work with LGBTQ+ couples?+
Absolutely — we work with all couples and all love stories. That's not just a line on our website. Inclusive language and genuine respect are part of everything we do, from our site to our vendor partnerships to the ceremonies we plan. We're proud to be an Equally Wed preferred vendor.
