Intimate Wedding Checklist: What Charlotte Couples Often Forget

Intimate weddings are simpler to plan than large-scale weddings, but a few details still slip through the cracks more often than couples expect. Run through this list before your big day.

• Does the venue support both ceremony and reception, or only one?

• Is the space fully private, with no other events happening during your booking?

• Are tables, chairs, and basic amenities included, or will you need to arrange rentals separately?

• Can you bring in your own caterer, or is there an approved vendor list?

• Is there a sound system for vows and music, and does it require a separate rental?

• Is there a livestream option or large display for family who can't attend in person?

• What is the setup and breakdown timeline, and does it eat into your paid hours?

• What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?
