LA Micro Weddings
Keep It Small, Keep It Real.
Cakewalk plans ceremony-only weddings across LA County for up to 20 guests — officiant, photographer, marriage license, and permits, handled before you show up. You just get married.
Just the Ceremony. Nothing Else.
A micro wedding here means the ceremony, not the reception. Sometimes twenty guests, sometimes five, sometimes just the two of you. No seating chart, no reception you didn't ask for, no planner trying to upsell you a sweetheart table.
Cakewalk handles the ceremony so you're not planning a wedding, you're just getting married.
We Know Where the Permits Are (and Aren't)
LA isn't one backdrop, it's dozens of them, spread across a city built for driving. Some spots are open to anyone, no questions asked. Others need a permit, or only allow photos and not a ceremony, or look completely different depending on the hour you show up. We've done the legwork on which is which, so you're not finding out the hard way on the drive over.
If you're picturing Venice, Hollywood, DTLA, Malibu, or a courthouse instead of a ceremony, we've got you.
How It Works
You reach out. Fill out our inquiry form or take the quiz. We set up a call.
We build the day from there — scout the location, sort the photographer and officiant, handle the permit if the spot needs one, and get your LA County marriage license paperwork moving. You'll see a mood board before anything's locked in, so nothing's a surprise on the day.
You want a ceremony, not a production
This works if you want more than a courthouse appointment but you're not planning a 200-person weekend. You've been putting off actually picking a date, you don't want to spend six figures on one afternoon, or you just want a day that's about the two of you and not the guest list.
We work with people who've lived in LA for years and people flying in for a weekend — married either way.
The Base Covers Everything You Need. Add-Ons Cover What You Want.
No tiers, no "platinum" upgrade, no upsell script. Every Cakewalk micro wedding starts with the same base: officiant, photographer, marriage license, and any permit the location requires. That's it. Nothing bundled in that you didn't ask for.
Want more? Super 8 film, extra photography time, live music, a vintage car. Add only what you actually want, built into your timeline.
