What's the difference?

Elopements vs Micro-Weddings

Q: Can I add on more photography time? 

A: Absolutely! The base package includes 1 - 3 hours of photography (depending on your guest count) which is enough to cover the ceremony and couples portraits at one location, along with family photos. If you’d like additional parts of the day covered (such as getting ready photos, couples portraits at multiple locations, or reception coverage),or want more photo locations, we can work together to create a custom timeline and you can add on additional photography coverage for $150/15 minutes.

Q: Can I remove a vendor from the package?

A: This package was designed to be all-inclusive, and we've found our couples have the easiest, most stress-free days when they use our vendors. So the only vendor we allow you to remove is the officiant, and you can trade that service for 30 extra minutes of photo time.

Q: Will you book the ceremony or reception location for me?

A: Our micro-wedding package comes with a park/square permit, or you can add the permit on to any other package! We do not handle booking private venues.

Q: Will you book rentals for me, such as chairs or Extra florals?

A: Yes! We now offer chair rentals and additional floral decor as optional add-ons to any of our packages.

Q: Can I book a hair and makeup trial, or additional services for my guests?

A: Yes, you can book a trial or additional hair and makeup services directly through Royal Makeup & Hair. We'll introduce you to them, and they will bill you separately for add-ons.

Q: Can I upgrade my bouquet if I’d like something bigger or more types of flowers?

A: Yes! The standard bouquet comes with 2-3 flower varieties + greenery. You can upgrade your bouquet to the larger size which includes 5-7 flower varieties + greenery. If you'd like a custom bouquet, you can upgrade to work directly with the florist  for a custom palette/shape.
