The Art of the Intimate: Orchestrating an Iconic Charleston Micro Wedding
In the world of luxury events, "Micro" does not mean small in vision. Some of the most breathtaking celebrations we orchestrate are those where the guest list is condensed. This allows the intentionality and editorial detail to take center stage.
As we prepare for an upcoming late-February celebration at two of Charleston’s most storied locations, the French Quarter Inn and Circa 1886, we wanted to pull back the curtain on how we plan a successful micro wedding.
What is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding typically hosts between 10 and 50 guests. Unlike an elopement, it retains all the formal elements of a traditional wedding. This includes professional floral installations, a multi-course dinner, and high-fashion photography. The smaller scale prioritizes the guest experience and deep connection.
The Love, Evermore Approach: Micro-Logistics, Macro-Impact
Planning an intimate wedding requires a specialized level of professional project architecture. When the guest list is small, every detail is under a microscope. There is no room for logistical error.
Phase 1: Venue Synergy. For our February couple, we are utilizing the terrace at the French Quarter Inn for a ceremony overlooking the historic rooftops of the city.
Phase 2: Transition Management. We apply our Google-certified project framework to manage the "invisible infrastructure" of guest movement. This ensures a seamless flow from the terrace to the sophisticated dining room of Circa 1886.
Phase 3: Financial Rigor. With Nicole’s 18-year banking background, we manage vendor contracts for these high-end, smaller-scale events with the same fiscal precision as a full estate buyout. This ensures every dollar maximizes the editorial impact.
