Micro wedding planning

Specialize in planning intimate weddings (under 50 guests) and elopements — one of the fastest-growing niches in the $70B+ wedding industry. Couples want personalized, meaningful celebrations without the $35K average wedding price tag. Planners charge $1,500-$5,000 per micro wedding, and with 2-4 events per month you can earn $3,000-$20,000/month. Startup costs are minimal — a website, business cards, and vendor relationships. The sweet spot is offering day-of coordination packages ($1,500-$2,500) that require less upfront planning time but still command premium rates.
