So, What’s Actually Included in a Micro Wedding Package?
If you're picturing a low-budget DIY picnic, think again! Our Luxe Micro Wedding & Elopement Package is packed with everything you need to feel totally spoiled – and stress-free.
Here’s a peek at what’s included:
A fully personalised legal ceremony (yep, with all the right paperwork done for you)
An awesome celebrant who’ll chat with you beforehand to make it super personal
Up to 1.5 hours of photography – including the ceremony, couple photos and fun candid shots
Styling that’s lush and thoughtful (think florals, signing table, beautiful garden party vibes)
Your favourite playlist playing while you sip on French wine bubbles and nibble on delicious artisan grazing platters
A mini wedding cake (because yes, you do deserve cake)
And a bunch of thoughtful touches – like customised signage, music, and a tripod for your ceremony video
Need a bouquet and buttonhole? Consider it sorted.
Everything is handled – you just show up, get married, and soak in the moment.
How Many Guests Can I Have at a Micro Wedding?
Honestly? It’s up to you. Some couples want to run away just the two of them (and we LOVE that). Others bring 10, 20, or up to 50 of their favourite people.
There’s no one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s small and sweet elopement or an intimate party with your crew, we’ll help you craft something just right for you two.

Styled to Perfection (Without the Price Tag)
We’re big believers in the power of aesthetics, but we also know that good style doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Zoe's expertise in styling and setup means your ceremony will look like a Pinterest dream come to life, whether it’s their incredible Indian Wedding Marquee, an arbour draped in silk florals or a sparkling champagne tower.
Celebrant Services That Speak From the Heart
When it comes to the ceremony, Lauren brings the magic. With a natural warmth and genuine curiosity, she takes the time to uncover what makes your relationship shine. Her ceremonies are personal, real, and filled with meaning – a true reflection of your story, delivered with heart, humour, and a few happy tears.
