On the surface, a private wedding with a very small number of
guests may seem easy, but the same considerations must go
into a wedding regardless of its size: food, layout, timelines,
weather, and more are always factors. When a particular
couple wanted to host their intimate wedding at home, special
considerations had to be made for both the site and the couple.
A walkway was constructed over the pool, turning it into a
beautiful water feature. It became a stunning path to the
canopy-covered wedding ceremony. Personal touches were
added to the ceremony and the celebration that followed to
make the event a truly family-centered, magical affair.
The formal sit-down dinner allowed everyone to share the
same table, creating an intimate setting under a canopy of
lighting and flowers. In preparation for the celebration, clear
communication was absolutely essential. Since the wedding was
held at a private home, caterers and the set-up crew had to be
considerate of the couple's schedule. Other factors, such as the
weather, also had to be considered, and a tent was on hand in
case the weather did not cooperate.
