Intimate weddings are weddings with a smaller guest list, but they are not necessarily weddings with a reduced budget. Most of the time, the couple uses the same amount they would for a “normal” wedding to offer a fantastic experience to their guests, focusing on “quality and not quantity.” These weddings are often very relaxed and non-traditional.
Why choose an intimate wedding in 2022? - a wedding with just a few close guests means more attention can be given to each guest. Both in the preparation of the event and during the celebration; - it could be the only way to choose beautiful venues that are too small for hundreds of guests; - intimate atmosphere and greater personalization of the wedding. Having much more time available to take care of every single detail of the event by choosing high-quality products/materials; Finally, it allows you to involve your guests in the ceremony itself: inviting them to participate by doing readings, lighting candles, and giving short speeches. Who to invite to an Intimate Wedding? An intimate wedding allows you to invite only the people you truly care about. Usually, these weddings do not have more than 30/40 people: once you have made the list, send the invitations and you’ll see they will be thrilled to be among those few close guests on the most important day of your life. You can also consider organizing a wedding weekend at the chosen location so people can relax the day before or after the wedding. The intimate wedding is very popular for destination weddings: some couples have their hearts set on a particular place for their wedding day that cannot host a larger celebration. Others want to keep the guest list very small, so they can spend the big day with family and their closest friends.

Let me show you what I think are the advantages of organizing an intimate wedding:
What is the right location for an Intimate Wedding? As we have seen, one of the biggest advantages of this type of wedding is being able to choose places to celebrate the ceremony or to party in a unique way. Having fewer guests means you can choose that little country church, that small farmhouse overlooking a vineyard, places not suitable for a large number of guests. You won’t put suppliers and the wedding planner in difficulty, and they will be happy to offer a more exclusive and refined service to you and your guests. Couples often prefer a very romantic candlelit dinner prepared especially for them by award-winning chefs in incredible places. Even the photographer will have the opportunity to work better, dedicating themselves to every single person present at the wedding without worrying about missing any important moment of the reception. Do you think this is the ceremony you want for your day? Tell me your idea, we’ll make it happen together.
