Why intimate weddings work

Fewer guests means real conversations, longer dinners, and a room that can hold every voice.

Guest count

Between 30 and 80 is our favourite range for a full seated dinner reception.

Seating style

One long table, two long tables, or a horseshoe — each carries a different intimacy.

Menu format

Family-style feels warm; tasting menus feel refined; both are wonderful for smaller weddings.

Ceremony and dinner flow

Consider a ceremony at golden hour, cocktails outside, and dinner as the sky turns.

Wine and toast

Curate two whites, two reds, a sparkling for the toast, and a signature cocktail.

Flowers and table design

Low ceramic vessels, olive branches, tapered candles — nothing that breaks a sightline.

Photography moments

First look, ceremony, family, and the toast. Everything else lets your guests actually eat.

Sample timeline

4:30 arrival · 5:00 ceremony · 5:45 cocktails · 6:45 dinner · 9:00 dessert · 10:30 last dance.
