What Is a Mini-Mony Wedding?
A mini-mony wedding is an intimate affair, typically with no more than 20 guests and still features the time-honored traditions that make a wedding memorable, but on a smaller scale.
You Can Create a Personal Experience for Your Guests
Think about adding some meaningful touches for your guests.  It's much easier to add those really special touches for 20 people than it is for 200!  And since you've chosen an intimate ceremony, you're guaranteed to have a close connection to every guest who attends, making it a memorable experience for everyone.
​Focus on the important things.  It's your special day, so make it a memorable one.
What do we need to bring?
Most importantly, your marriage certificate!  Additionally, if you would like music during your ceremony, you must have your music downloaded, in order and without a password on the device, and ready to play on your Bluetooth device.
