Big Sur Micro Wedding Planning

Your Big Sur celebration

Big Sur is the one place in California where the backdrop does most of the work. The scale of the cliffs, the sound of the ocean, the way the redwoods filter light — couples who choose Big Sur usually know exactly why. There's nothing to replicate it.

We've planned micro weddings at Ventana Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn, Wind and Sea, and spots you won't find on any venue directory. The logistics require more coordination than a city wedding — Big Sur is remote and everything needs to be timed carefully — but that's exactly what we're here for.

What you get in exchange is a wedding day that feels unlike anything else. No ballroom carpet, no overhead chandeliers. Just you, your people, and one of the most dramatic coastlines on earth.

Why Big Sur

Why Big Sur for your micro wedding?

Nothing else like it

Towering sea cliffs, ancient redwoods, the Pacific — the scale of Big Sur makes everything feel significant. No venue in the world competes with this backdrop.

Remote and private

Big Sur's remoteness is the point. It's the kind of place where a wedding genuinely feels like a world apart — and your guests will feel it too.

Year-round atmosphere

Misty summer mornings, golden winter afternoons — the Central Coast is comfortable in every season, and the fog adds to the drama rather than ruining it.

What our couples say

Our Little Wedding did a fantastic job planning our micro-wedding with 50 guests. They had a ton of great venues for us to consider. The team was super responsive and easy to communicate with. Their day-of coordination was phenomenal and everything looked beautiful and fell seamlessly into place.
