Planning a wedding doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, rushed, or impersonal. At Minne Weddings, we believe your day should feel intentional, joyful, and beautifully simple — from the moment you book to the moment you say “I do.”

Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate ceremony with your closest people or a stress-free way to celebrate your love, here’s exactly what the Minne Wedding experience looks like — step by step.

But first, what is a Minne Wedding?

A Minne Wedding is an all-inclusive micro wedding designed for couples who want meaning over mayhem. We take care of the planning, design, and logistics so you can focus on what actually matters: getting married. It's a short and drama-free event that you can enjoy with your closest loved ones, or just the two of you! You share the resources with the others getting married that day, so that the cost to you is less.

Step 1: Booking Your Minne Wedding

This is where the excitement begins.

Once you book your date, you’ll receive your Client Registration Form — a simple, stress-free way for us to get to know you.

You’ll share:

Contact information
Your love story
Special guest information
Your ceremony preferences
Cake flavor and bubbly selection
Estimated guest count

Just the essentials to start shaping your day around you.

Step 2: Thoughtful Planning

As your wedding day approaches, we’ll send two additional forms at just the right time, so nothing ever feels rushed or overwhelming.

Digital or Printed Invitations

You’ll choose whether you’d like digital invitations or printed ones — both designed to feel beautiful, intentional, and effortless:

The Extras Form

While your Minne Wedding includes everything you need, some couples love adding a few special touches. This is where you can choose enhancements like:

Lite bites
Elevated beverage options
A keepsake album
Video edits and livestreaming
Guest favors
Live music
Flowers for VIPs

And more!

Everything is optional, curated, and designed to elevate your day. And don’t worry — you can make changes to any of these enhancements up until a month prior to your wedding date.

Step 3: The Home Stretch

30 Days Before: Final Details Form Sent

This is where everything comes together:

Guest count confirmed
Portrait shot list selected
Confirmation of Extras
Processional and recessional song selections
Accessibility needs
And a few additional questions to make sure your day is perfectly you

We’ll guide you through it so nothing feels stressful or forgotten.

21 Days Before: Final Invoice and Day-of Details Sent

About three weeks before your wedding, we’ll send your final invoice. In addition, you’ll be getting an email full of information confirming your final timeline, venue and parking information, and suggested vendor gratuities. At this point, everything is in place — all you need to do is get excited!

14 Days Before: Your Ceremony Comes to Life

Two weeks before your wedding, our officiant will personally reach out to connect with you and begin crafting your ceremony script.

Where your love story, values, and personalities come together in a meaningful, personalized way.

One Last Thing: Your Marriage License

There’s just one thing we can’t do for you — get your marriage license.

You can obtain it in any Minnesota county, and we’ll guide you if you have questions along the way.

Your Wedding Day: Calm, Present, and Full of Meaning

When your day arrives, there’s nothing left to manage or worry about. You arrive, take a breath, and simply be present.

Your ceremony unfolds beautifully.
Your guests feel connected.
You get to soak in every moment.

That’s the magic of a Minne Wedding.

Why Couples Choose Minne Weddings

Let’s talk about who our couples are:

They are genuine. They don’t want the same kind of wedding as everyone else (or go to Vegas or the courthouse). Our couples know there is a balance between the doing “All The Things” and eloping.

They don’t want added stress. Our couples are interested in an easy wedding experience. They are already busy enough and the thought of having to make endless decisions and spend countless hours talking about their wedding is not on their “to do” list.

They value people over things. Spending time with family and friends is their top priority.

They are smart with their money. When they are not saving for their dream home, they spend their money on amazing trips, brunch with friends, and donating to causes close to their hearts.

They love each other and the planet. By splitting the wedding costs with other couples, they help minimize waste of materials, resources, and time. Mother Earth appreciates them.

They will settle for only the best. They know that Minne Weddings only works with a rock star team of Minnesota’s very best, giving them a top-notch design and experience.

They love where they live. Our couples couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this community and are committed to embracing what a wedding in Minnesota has to offer — beautiful and unique spaces with Midwestern charm.

“Minne Weddings is an energetic group of “special day cheerleaders”. I am so grateful that they exist and do such important work. I didn’t stress one bit about the ceremony planning. It was smooth and my friends and family were all impressed. They have add-on options to make the experience more customizable to you. Don’t get sucked into the marriage mart—choose a team that will champion YOU and your love! I’m so incredibly grateful and this is the FUTURE way to get married! Thank you, Minne Weddings team! You’re amazing! I’ll be sure to let my newly engaged friends know where to sign up! 💕”
