Why we separate elopements & micro weddings
  • Elopement: up to 10 guests
  • Micro Wedding: 11 to 30 guests
  • 30+ guests: custom quote

Why this matters

Guest numbers change the feel and flow of a wedding.

For smaller elopements, everything is usually more relaxed, flexible, and intimate.

For micro weddings, there is more coordination involved for both the celebrant and photographer, including guest positioning, ceremony flow, group photos, timing, and sometimes a mobile speaker & mic setup so everyone can hear clearly.

Access, seating & wet-weather checks

Before booking, ask the venue or land manager to confirm step-free access, walking distances, accessible toilets, seating and a workable wet-weather option for your exact ceremony spot.

Share any access needs with KISS when you enquire, so they can be included in the planning discussion. A garden, beach or property being open to visitors does not confirm that every ceremony area will suit every guest.
