Elopement & Micro Wedding Planning Guide

The 7 Steps to Create Your Dream Day in Florida

A + G-87.jpg

Step One

Decide on Your Guest Count

First, decide on your guest list. Keeping the guest list low will make your elopement or micro wedding feel more personal and stress-free.

Elopement vs. Micro Wedding

Elopement: Just the ceremony with up to 30 guests.
Micro Wedding: Ceremony + small reception for up to 60 guests.

No matter the size, an intimate wedding lets you focus on what truly matters—your love story.

Step Two

Choose Your Dream Location

Florida is full of incredible elopement and micro wedding spots—from sun-kissed beaches to lush gardens and chic venues. Need inspiration? Check out our locations guide to find your perfect backdrop.

Step Three

Pick Your Date

Think about the vibe you want—whether it’s a dreamy winter wedding or a summer beach celebration—and pick a handful of dates. Flexibility ensures you can secure the best location for your intimate day.

Step Four

Hire a Planner

Once you have your dates, it’s time to hire a planner (that’s me!). I’ll take care of all the logistics—securing locations, coordinating with vendors, and making sure everything flows smoothly.
