LITTLE BUT FIERCE WEDDINGS
Chicago Micro Weddings
Woo hoo! You are engaged and you absolutely do not want to plan a wedding! Rather than just eloping at City Hall, you are looking to have a small, intimate ceremony that is all-inclusive and ready to go with your closest friends and family. As Wedding Planners who have produced events in Chicago for more than 10 years, we have curated an intimate and special celebration that includes a wedding ceremony + first dance, followed by couple’s portraits and a small cake-cutting + toast. That’s it! While it’s your responsibility to book your venue or choose a location, we have partnered with incredible venues and curated locations around the city that we will share with you when we start to work together!

This is an all inclusive package so we always recommend going with our vendors - plus we’ve been doing this for over 10 years (and have planned hundreds of weddings) and know the Chicago market like the back of our hand so you should trust that anyone we recommend will be FIERCE. If you want to use your own vendors we recommend contacting us for a custom quote as this all inclusive ready to go package is probably not for you!
