Small Wedding in Big Sanctuary

You can't really. We had a small guest list with a CAVERNOUS sanctuary area. I'm not sure if you have a modern space or more traditional but there are a few things we did to make it look "full." Although, honestly, my sanctuary space is not aesthetically pleasing even with larger weddings and all of the weddings I've seen in it the added décor always looked tacky. So for that, and budget reasons, we opted for no décor and just lighting.

-Have your ushers sit everyone to the front and in the middle. Utilize only a few pews.

-Have your photographer take pictures from no more than 2 rows behind your guests and focus tightly on the center. Only one of our pictures wasn't taken this way. It turned out really cool so I like it but you can tell we didn't have any guests really lol. There's nothing you can really do about your march down the aisle though except ask the photographer to do close up shots instead of far away shots.

-If you can light only the space you're using. We were able to light just the middle front area instead of the entire sanctuary. It made it feel very intimate.

Same here!! I am also getting on March 6 and my venue fits 150 people and we will have 10. Interested to see what you might figure out, because I feel the exact same way!!

The tip to ask the photographers to adjust their shots is very helpful. It makes the photos look so intimate.
