Working With Local DC & Baltimore Micro Wedding Vendors: How To Pick The Best In The Tiny Wedding Business
We love our local DC and Baltimore small wedding vendors and we know you will too. Here are some of our favorites to work alongside when it comes to making your micro wedding day perfection:
Videographers
We are lucky enough to partner with Compass Studios who have created an exclusive micro wedding package for our couples! A wedding video allows you to remember not only what your day looked like but how it felt, too. And don’t worry - gone are the days of dark, low-quality footage that takes hours to sift through. Compass Studios will deliver a five-minute highlight film of all the best moments from your wedding day. They also offer add-ons like drone footage (location permitting), additional hours of coverage, and multi-camera setups.
Hair and Makeup
Want to look and feel your best on your wedding day? We have a list of Washington DC and Baltimore’s best hair and makeup artists who love working with our micro wedding clients! These artists book up quickly so don’t wait to reach out to them to get on their calendars, especially during high season like spring and fall! Whether you’re looking for a style that’s understated and natural or you’re ready to really WOW your guests, these artists do it all!
Rentals and Decor
For a lot of our couples, choosing to have a micro wedding rather than something large and extravagant means cost savings but it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to sacrifice thoughtful decor and details. Since a lot of couples are saving time and money by booking a micro wedding, they have extra resources for a more personalized wedding day!
From linens to ceremony arches to custom balloon installations, we highly recommend our friends at the following rental companies:
Select | Rentals and Tents
DMV Wedding Arch | Arches + Chuppahs
DC Rental | Standard Rentals
Something Vintage | Boutique Rentals
Popped by Dominique | Balloon Installations
Paper Goods + Signage + Personalized Details
A fun way to elevate your micro wedding without breaking the bank is to include thoughtful and personalized decor and signage: from invitation suites to save the dates to welcome signs and custom napkins and matchbooks, these small but mighty pieces can have an impact on your vision and the style of your micro wedding!
If you’re hoping to save some money and stay within budget, we recommend using Minted for invitations and save the dates! They have a ton of really beautiful pre-made designs that you can customize with your day of wedding details! Use code WEDPLLAURENLOUISE for 30% off save the dates and 25% off all other wedding-related purchases.
If you want to have something more custom-created, we recommend using our friends at Oh Eleven. They specialize in telling your story through a fully custom invitation design process. The first opportunity to connect with your guests sets the tone for your micro wedding and lets them know what to expect… an incredible celebration of you!
For personalized details like welcome signs, cocktail napkins, and matchbooks, we recommend using Etsy for an easy ordering experience! Just remember to keep an eye out for where the products are being shipped from so you can ensure they’ll arrive on time!
Music and Entertainment
Whether you plan on having a string quartet, a DJ, or live illustrations, including some form of entertainment on your wedding day can elevate the space and create an interactive experience for your guests!
Bands, String Quartets, Jazz Ensembles Lucy Black Entertainment
DJ | Craig with Perpetual Sound
Custom Typewriter Poetry | Distinee with Fully Bloomed
Live Illustration | SamiaLynn
Live Tarot Readings | Phim’s Oasis
Bartending + Mobile Bars
For our couples who want to add an interactive experience to their micro wedding or for those who are having their micro wedding at a venue that doesn’t include catering and they need a licensed bartender, hiring a mobile bar service is a great idea! From a french style bar cart to a vintage airstream, these companies have something for everyone!
Blind Tiger
Hotels
We strongly believe that where you begin your wedding sets the tone for the rest of the day! It also makes a huge difference in the appearance and quality of your “getting ready” photos if that’s something you’ve decided to include! Choosing a hotel with lots of natural light from windows with a decor that matches your personal style or wedding day vision will add to the overall feeling and vibe of your day. Here are a list of hotels we recommend:
And lastly, but certainly not least…Care for your Furry Friends with Furever and Fur Always!
For so many of our couples, their beloved pets play an important role in their everyday lives and their relationships! If you want your furry friend to be a part of your micro wedding day, Furever and Fur Always provide the services to make this possible! They’ll transport your pet to the ceremony, assist with portraits of you and your pet, make sure they’re well-fed with lots of treats, and even help you style your pet! Above all else, they’ll love your pet as if they were their own!
