Skip the Courthouse: Small, Affordable Michigan Weddings That Feel Just Right
So, you’re engaged and ready to say “I do”—but a big traditional wedding just isn’t your vibe. Maybe you're looking for something small and sweet, maybe you’re watching your budget, or maybe you just want to be married already! Whatever your reason, I’ve got options that make your wedding meaningful without the stress (or the courthouse chaos).

I get a lot of emails asking about pricing for small weddings in Michigan, so let’s talk about the two packages I offer most often and what they include. Whether you want something super simple or a little more personal, there's a perfect fit waiting for you.
The Sign & I Do – Just $150If you're looking for a courthouse alternative, this package is for you. At just $150, the Sign and I Do is short, sweet, and oh-so-sincere. We meet at one of our beautiful local outdoor spots--Baycourt Park in Clarkston, Battle Alley in downtown Holly, or Bush Park in Fenton—and hold a brief but heartfelt ceremony with vows and rings (don’t worry, I’ve got the script ready for you). This package is ideal for around 10 guests and gives you the chance to get married without the hassle of a courtroom or a long wait. It's a favorite for couples looking for a small wedding that’s still special.

The Intimate Ceremony – Starting at $400Looking for something more personalized? The Intimate Ceremony is for couples who want to include their love story, custom vows, and all those little touches that make your day feel like you. Starting at $400, this package includes a custom-written ceremony script, coordination of your ceremony, and can be held at any location in Southeast Michigan (yes, I’ll travel!). Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or a charming elopement spot, this is a flexible and affordable way to celebrate your love with more guests and a more formal feel—think walking down the aisle, music, the works.

Let’s Create Your Perfect DayNot sure which option fits your plans? Just reach out and tell me:

• Where you want to get married
• How many guests you’re inviting
