About cakewalk weddings
Is it an elopement? A micro-wedding? A city hall civil ceremony thing?
What We Mean When We Say "For Couples Who Can't Be Bothered"
You want to get married, not produce an event. You want meaning without a million moving parts. You want it to feel like you—not like a checklist someone else wrote.
Cakewalk is for couples who want a small, thoughtful, beautiful ceremony in a city they love—without the stress, spectacle, or price tag of a traditional wedding. Whether you're eloping in New York City, Washington DC, Austin, or San Francisco, we make it feel easy in all the right ways.
What You Can’t Be Bothered With:
Planning a full-scale wedding for the sake of tradition
Endless logistics, contracts, and vendor juggling
A ceremony that feels scripted or performative
Why elope?
Because it cuts straight to the good part.
A Cakewalk elopement is built for real life—intimate, meaningful, and low-drama. We believe small weddings should still feel like a big deal, without becoming a big ordeal. Whether it's just the two of you or a handful of people you love, this is about keeping it personal, romantic, and fun.
We’re locals. We know the spots. We know the light. We know how to make a ceremony feel effortless and earnest all at once.
What We Stand For
Getting married should be easy. We keep things simple and beautiful—no hidden fees, no confusing fine print.
Price transparency matters. What we offer is what it costs. Nothing more.
Cities are unpredictable. We plan for real-world conditions—weather, crowds, weird city noise—and we roll with it.
Good service is our thing. You deserve vendors who are prepared, thoughtful, and calm under pressure.
What is a Cakewalk elopement?
A Cakewalk wedding is a small, intentional ceremony. We handle the officiant, photography, and location planning so you don’t have to. No overcomplicated nonsense. Just a beautiful moment in a city that moves fast, with a team that helps you slow down and enjoy it.
We don’t handle receptions – on purpose.
We’re here for the vows, the photos, the walk through the park afterwards. We believe the ceremony is the part that matters most. If you want to celebrate after, we’re happy to point you toward a great spot—but coordinating dinner menus and seating charts just isn’t our lane.
If that sounds like the right kind of wedding for you, we’d love to talk.
