Our toronto wedding photography team brought in the pros with micro wedding packages to help you have a small intimate micro wedding but still make it feel like a grand affair. Many toronto wedding planner confesses to stopping so many couples on the way to the courthouse to get married because they just could not handle the stress that comes with planning a wedding ceremony.

First Pick A Venue

One of the most important steps of wedding planning whether big or small is to pick a wedding venue so that you can figure out the seating capacity of that venue and create your number of guest list accordingly. Our toronto wedding photography team suggest you to take into consideration if you would want an open bar, or live music in micro weddings.

Make Sure The Basics Are Covered

Our toronto wedding photography team says that the three most important things that make a wedding planning successful are music, food, and open bar. At weddings, people come together to celebrate love and have a good time together. Food is the main thing whereas the alcohol and music help make sure that everyone has a blast. Start with these basics and then add fancier things that give an edge to the event, you can add flowers, décor, and other secondary things according to your budget. Keep in mind with any covid19 restrictions at your area. View above for what our micro wedding package includes.
