Question 1

What's the difference between a Micro Wedding and a Traditional Wedding?

Accepted Answer

A Micro Wedding is much like a traditional wedding, but on a smaller scale and within a shorter timeframe. Instead of a large guest list and full day of events, a Micro Wedding focuses on a more intimate experience with a smaller number of guests. Couples still enjoy many of the elements of a traditional wedding, including a ceremony followed by a celebration that can include cake, champagne, light bites, dancing, and more. Many couples choose Micro Weddings as an alternative to a courthouse ceremony while still having a meaningful celebration with their closest family and friends.

Question 2

I keep seeing Pop-Up weddings, and Micro Weddings, is there really a difference?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sorta... A Pop-Up Wedding typically means multiple couples get married at the same location on the same day. Couples share the decor and venue, but each couple has their own scheduled time slot.

With a Micro Wedding, couples usually have more control over their date and timeline, along with the ability to personalize details and choose options that fit their vision for the day!

Question 3

Is a Micro Wedding really for me?

Accepted Answer

A Micro Wedding is a great option for couples who want to get married without the cost and pressure that often come with a large traditional wedding. With a smaller guest list and a more intimate setting, couples can focus on the moment and enjoy their day without the stress of planning a large event. Many Micro Weddings still include a ceremony followed by a small celebration, allowing couples to relax and celebrate with the people who matter most.

Question 4

Is it weird that I still want to have a larger reception later even if we choose your services?

Accepted Answer

Of course not! Many couples choose to have their Micro Wedding with us and then plan a larger reception later at a different location. Some couples prefer to share their ceremony with only their closest family and friends, then celebrate their marriage with a bigger group at a restaurant, club, bar, or other venue at another time.

Question 5

Can I pick my decor?

Accepted Answer

Great question! To help keep costs low, we provide decor using neutral colors that complement a variety of styles. For your Micro Wedding, you will still have the opportunity to choose from select options such as arch florals, bouquet(s) and or boutonniere(s), cake toppers, and other small details to personalize your day.

Question 6

Do I still have to pay full price if I have fewer guests than the package allows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our packages are thoughtfully structured to help keep costs low and consistent for all couples. Even if your final guest count is lower than the package accommodations, the package price remains the same.

Question 7

Can I extend the time or the guest count?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer a cocktail hour extension that includes additional perks for your day. Availability and pricing depend on the package you choose, so please reach out for a customized quote if you’d like to extend your time or add more guests.

Question 8

What will my timeline look like?

Accepted Answer

Your timeline will depend on the package you choose, typically ranging from 2 to 4 hours, excluding elopements, which are usually around 1 hour. Before your wedding day, one of our coordinators will provide a detailed timeline so you know exactly how your day will flow.

Question 9

Can I provide my own services or vendors?

Accepted Answer

We ensure your day is handled smoothly by our team of professionals. You are welcome to provide your own officiant if it falls outside our civil ceremony structure. Please contact us for more details about other service providers you may want to bring in.

Question 10

Are the venues handicap accessible?

Accepted Answer

Not every venue is fully handicap accessible. Please inquire about your chosen package, and we can provide detailed information on accessibility for that location.

Question 11

Can I tour the venue?

Accepted Answer

Venue tours depend on availability, but we have plenty of photos for you to view. Just mention your interest during your consultation, and we’ll be happy to assist in arranging a tour if possible.

Absolutely! The Little Wedding Co. is a queer and Black-owned wedding company, creating welcoming, inclusive celebrations for all couples. From elopements and Micro Weddings to vow renewals across Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, we focus on making each day personal and meaningful.

Question 13

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

Accepted Answer

At The Little Wedding Co., all packages require a 50% non-refundable retainer. This retainer helps secure your venue, permits, vendors, and other essentials for your wedding day. We understand that unexpected situations can arise, and we are happy to work with couples to find the best solution, including rescheduling your wedding date if needed.
