How much should I expect to spend?

Including our package, you should expect to spend $25-35K on your micro wedding, but this cost is wildly influenced by the price of your venue and your catering choice. For couples looking to budget, we recommend starting with less pricey venues (getting creative with museums, historical sites, granges, yacht clubs, community halls, VRBOs, and state or national parks). We help with this every step of the way.

Will ALTAR help us find our outside vendors?

Yes! We bring in 7-8 of your necessary vendors (floral, cake, bar, signage, furniture rentals, ceremony and reception design and styling, decor), and also act as your full-service planners, where we source and inquire on your behalf for vendors like photo, food, DJ, whatever you want to include!

Do we need to hire day labor outside of you?

Nope! We bring the bartenders and ‘muscle’ for set up and take down. We even haul the trash!

How many hours do we need to book our venue for?

Honestly, at least 10. Venue with tight timelines and restrictions on hours and access are NOT recommended. We like to take our time for set up prior to your event for a relaxed, intentional vibe.

Do you make the day-of timeline?

Yes, you’re covered. We co-create this with you and then share this with the other vendors about a month ahead so we can make tweaks if needed (typically with photographer).

Do you have suggestions for venues?

We have an extensive list for the Pacific Northwest (mainly Western WA) and Hawaii, mainly the Big Island. We have extra favorites throughout both regions! Many offer lodging on site, some are more traditional, and all are lovely. You don’t need a venue before booking with us - we can help guide this process extensively to match your budget and style!

Do you get discounts for other vendors?

We don’t get kickbacks or discounts when booking with certain outside vendors. What you see is what you get!

Do you have a tent?

We don’t provide one, but it’s always good to have a rain plan. Certain venues may require a tent.

What are your upgrades?

You can upgrade how many signature cocktails (add an extra for $5/guest), upgrade your floral (by the piece, would be determined on a case-by-case basis), or add up to 15 additional guests (extra fee between 50 and 65 guests max).
