Some weddings feel expansive.
Others feel deeply intimate.
Most couples don’t describe their decision as “public” or “private,” but that’s often what they’re weighing.
The Intimate Choice
Some couples choose a smaller setting because they want:
Fewer eyes on them
More time with each guest
Space for emotions to surface naturally
In these weddings, the atmosphere tends to feel grounded and personal. There’s less performance and more presence.
The Expansive Choice
Other couples feel energized by a larger celebration.
They want:
A full dance floor
Big reactions
The energy that comes from gathering widely
These weddings carry momentum. They move quickly and often feel electric.
Neither Is More Meaningful
The size of a wedding doesn’t determine its emotional depth.
What matters is whether the format matches the couple’s personality.
When the scale fits who they are, the day tends to feel aligned rather than overwhelming.
