Intimate and Intentional

While large, extravagant weddings have their allure, our couples are increasingly choosing to focus on quality over quantity. The majority (65%) are opting for intimate gatherings with fewer than 200 guests, allowing them to create a more personal and meaningful experience for themselves and their loved ones.
