Intimate Elopements, Micro Weddings & Full-Service Planning in the City of Roses
Wedding Planning Services in Portland, Oregon
Elopement Planning
Every couple arrives with a different vision and a different amount of time, energy, and bandwidth for planning. That's why we offer four distinct services designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Portland is one of the most elopement friendly cities in the country. With an abundance of parks, lush urban forests, and streets that make you feel like you're in Europe, you can elope on a Tuesday as simply or elaborately as you'd like. We handle every detail - location scouting, permits, officiant coordination, vendor recommendations, and full timeline management so you only job is to show up and have a beautiful day.
Best for: Couples seeking an intimate, stress-free ceremony with 0 to 10 guests.
Micro Wedding Planning
A micro wedding can be as elaborate or as simple as you'd like - for 10-40 of your closest people, gathered intentionally. We design and plan micro weddings from the ground up: venue, florals, catering coordination, styling direction, and day-of flow. Small guest counts open up venue options that larger weddings may not be fully able to access, giving your micro wedding a beautiful advantage.
Best for: Couples planning an intimate celebration with 10 to 49 guests.
Full Service Wedding Planning
From your first venue walkthrough to your final send-off, we're by your side from beginning to end. Full-service planning covers vendor sourcing and negotiation, design and styling direction, budget management, and complete day-of execution - all tailored to the intimate wedding experience we're known for.
Best for: Couples planning an intimate wedding of 50 to 100 guests who want expert guidance at every stage.
Day-Of Wedding Coordination
You've done the planning. Now hand off the logistics and actually enjoy the day you've been looking forward to. Day-of coordination includes a thorough handoff process, full vendor communication, and on-site management from setup to send-off. We make sure everything you've built runs exactly as envisioned.
Best for: Couples who have planned their wedding independently and want a professional to execute the day flawlessly.
