the micro, intimate
& destination wedding handbook

A dinner for twenty on a stone terrace. Vows on a misty ridge at sunrise. Forty guests stepping off a boat for a three-day celebration. Smaller guest lists and faraway places are one of the fastest-moving corners of the wedding world, and every one of these weddings needs a planner who can get the paperwork right, build a team they've never met and stay calm when the weather turns.
