Drowning in choices: Why Simple Wedding Packages Save Your Sanity

Ever been to the Cheesecake Factory and thought, “Wow, look at all these amazing options!” … only for the waiter to circle back 5 minutes later and suddenly you’re in full-on panic mode, flipping through 20 pages because now you actually have to choose just one?

Yeah. Planning a wedding can feel a lot like that menu. 😵‍💫

I’ll be honest — I’ve got this menu anxiety bad. I research ahead of time, read reviews, stalk foodie blogs… and even then, I swear it could take me a month to decide. Because let’s face it: today I might feel like pasta carbonara, but tomorrow those Thai lettuce wraps are calling my name. With too many choices, even fun decisions can spiral into stress.

And weddings? They’re even worse. Pinterest boards, Instagram inspiration, endless photographers, florists, caterers, décor styles — at first it’s exciting, but then reality sets in. Every choice is a decision, every decision takes time, and suddenly you’re knee-deep in spreadsheets, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if maybe you should’ve just eloped to Vegas… or The Finery 😜.

Here’s the thing: you’re not alone. One of our brides recently admitted she’d been stressed all week — and she didn’t even have to plan a full wedding. Not because of The Finery (we had all that covered), but because of the other stuff: family logistics, hair, makeup, and yes… making sure the groom had the right socks.

That’s why our packages are intentionally designed to cut through the noise. Instead of throwing you 200 choices (and triggering Cheesecake Factory-level panic), we’ve curated high-quality vendors and services that pair beautifully together. Think of it as the chef’s special for weddings — fewer decisions, less stress, and more time to soak up the moments that actually matter. We’ve researched the menu for years. We know what works, who works, and how to make the day flow seamlessly.

And here’s the truth: fewer choices doesn’t mean less special. It means more focus on what really matters — the way your partner looks at you during vows, the laugh you share during toasts, the joy your guests feel being there. Nobody remembers the napkin fold or whether dinner was tacos or sliders. What they remember is how it felt.

So if you’re craving a wedding that feels joyful, intentional, and refreshingly simple, our elopement and micro-wedding packages are designed with you in mind. Because your wedding day should be about your love story — not about managing a 200-item to-do list. We’ll handle the details so you can focus on what’s left — the small, inevitable stuff that comes with any big day.

Stress-free (or as close to it as humanly possible 🤪).

Now, if only we could help you decide between carbonara and lettuce wraps… we’re still working on that one.
