10/10 Wedding Planning Team

Working with the Small Miami Weddings team was an absolute pleasure! Melissa and Gen are extremely organized, flexible and communicative. They made the process so easy for us from the start with their clear checklists, timelines and follow up. They took care of booking the venue, arranging our flowers and photographer, gave clear instructions to get our marriage license, a timeline for the wedding day, references that we could share with our guests for a smooth day-of experience, and made themselves available to answer all of our questions.

On the day, I didn't have to worry about a thing because they had everything taken care of! I knew exactly where to be and when, and the ceremony space they recommended at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden was perfect. I actually had a different space in mind, but they showed me reference photos from previous events and Melissa could tell after just a few conversations with me that she could recommend a better spot on the property to capture my vision, and she was absolutely right.

Our friends and family all commented on how pleasant the team was on our wedding day, and everyone absolutely loved the ceremony we had. There wasn't a dry eye after Melissa ran through her script (which she gave us ample time to review and make any adjustments - but we really had none!). The team was warm, welcoming and made sure we knew exactly what was going to happen each step of the way.

The photographer they brought in, Ozzy, was also incredible. He knew all the best spots at our venue to take photos and was extremely flexible based on lighting, what was in bloom at the time, and based on our preferences.

THANK YOU to the SMW team, they were all a dream to work with and I cannot recommend their services enough!

Mr. & Mrs. Sanfelippo

We loved working with Small Miami Weddings. Melissa who helped coordinate our wedding was very friendly, flexible and helpful. She gave great hotel and restaurant recommendations for our stay in Miami. Carlos did a great job playing the song we envisioned for our wedding on the violin. It was great working with Ozzy as our photographer, we got a lot of fun photos. I loved how Aimee did my hair and makeup. We had a lovely wedding on Crandon Beach. Thank you team of Small Miami Weddings for making our day so special! ☀️🏝️

Our Dream Come True

SMW is professional, reliable, easy to work with. We are happy and so grateful. They made our dream come true. Vizcaya (gardens) were breathtaking. The whole team worked so well together and our only worries were with mother nature.

Beautifully done!

We are SO glad we found Small Miami Weddings! They truly made planning our destination wedding super easy for us living so far away. Gen and Melissa were very helpful and guided us through the process, answered our questions, and were a pleasure to work with. We could not be any happier with our special day! The photos are fabulous, and Crandon Park is gorgeous!

Wedding of my dreams

I found Small Miami weddings and read the reviews. I contacted them and planned my wedding on 4/25/24.

They were excellent with contacting me going over request etc and it was a magical day in my life. Melissa and Gen did an excellent job keeping us informed and finding the perfect location on Crandon Beach.

I wish that time could stand still as it was a dream come true for a beach wedding with a small group of people.

I forgot the photographers name (my bad) but he really captured many special moments and did an excellent job!

Also hairdresser was fantastic, I would definitely recommend her hair and makeup. Held up all night!!

Phenomenal!

My husband and I decided to elope on Miami Beach and I happened upon Small Miami Weddings during an online search. Melissa, Gen, and Ozzy were fantastic to work with! They took care of all the stressful aspects of our wedding, including applying for licensing, photography (Ozzy made us feel extremely comfortable), and recommendations for limo service and reception venues. We didn’t have to lift a finger, it was beautiful, and it went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Small Miami Weddings for anyone who is planning a wedding in Miami.

An amazing stress free experience

I cannot recommend this team enough! An absolutely no stress wedding, everything was exactly how I envisioned it would be. Even though my wedding day had some unexpected rain and a whole marathon that blocked traffic for my guests, this team still just went with the flow and made some small adjustments and everything pretty much went according to plan. So grateful to have found this company!

Excellent Experience at a fair price

Melissa, Gen and the Team were life saving for us. My husband and I were in a time crunch, the wedding date was less than 2 months away and we didn't even have a venue. The Small Miami Wedding Team found the venue of our dreams in less than 2 days. They plan and organized everything while my husband and I worked two jobs. The price we paid for their services was SO WORTH IT!

Our guest Totally loved every detailed of the ceremony and reception, and we absolutely loved it as well!

100% recommended!

Absolutely amazing!

We were planning an intimate ceremony from out of state and Small Miami Weddings made this process so seamless and stress free. They literally handle everything and create beautiful ceremonies. I had found a new venue last minute and they even took it upon themselves without me asking to go tour the venue and meet with that venue coordinator to plan the day. Their responses to my emails were always very prompt and the resources they gave to help plan other details such as cake and dining were so helpful!
I would 100% recommend them 10 times over! Thank you!!

The Perfect day

What an absolute perfect day arranged by SmallMiamiWeddings. My partner and I chose to elope with close family on South Beach and Melissa and Gen were amazing from the moment we contacted them. Both of them were extremely helpful with making sure we understand the process. Travelling from the UK we had quite a few questions about the process and they were always very helpful and quick to respond.
Before the wedding they sent through a whole load of information relating to the local area with food and drink recommendations which was extremely helpful not just for the wedding but for our stay in Miami as a whole.
Onto the actual ceremony, we had 6 guests who were all very complimentary about the wedding and specifically mentioned how great Melissa was who officiated our ceremony.
Ozzie the photographer also extremely good! Made us all feel very comfortable and didn’t force you into unnatural awkward poses like most wedding photographers. Overall could not recommend SmallMiamiWeddings enough for anyone looking for a small, stress free ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
