The mini wedding includes a ceremony director for the following:
- Line up the wedding party, if applicable
- Play ceremony music (up to 3 songs, started from the beginning and faded at the appropriate time) on our own device with bluetooth speaker from I Tunes or YouTube. We cannot play individual music or audio tracks emailed to us with a mini wedding
- Chair set up
- Assist you with your dress if needed prior to the ceremony
The mini wedding includes a ceremony officiant. Please let me know if you have a preference of male or female. All of our officiants will allow you to add your own personal vows in addition to the vow script choices we'll provide prior to the wedding.
Our venue is set up, decorated and ready to go. All arbors have greenery and white flowers. If you are able to visit with us the day before the wedding, we can add silk flowers to a wedding arbor if you bring them to your meeting. Use of our hexagon at either the mountain view or the lower grounds or the cross at our mountain view is available with the Mini Wedding Deluxe. The cross is only available at the mountain view. The mini wedding does not have enough time for you or our staff to set up items such as guest books, favors, or other personal decor. However, this is a lot less stressful for you!
If your mini wedding package includes our staff photographer:
All photography by Regina Starkey, Sierra Bonneville or any other Honeysuckle Hills, LLC staff member is the sole property of you and Honeysuckle Hills, LLC, protected by federal copyright laws. We reserve the right to edit, enhance, and provide artwork at our discretion and use any of your images for marketing purposes, including but not limited to our website and social media. Please notify us in writing (letter, email or text,) if you do not wish your photographs to be used for marketing or social media purposes. Your photographs will never be sold for commercial use.
The actual number of photography locations used will vary, based on their proximity of locations to each other, how many guests you have, if extra events are added (cake cutting or first dances) and which package you booked. Each package has a specified time limit. Ask me for a package recommendation before booking if you are unsure. We may not be able to add time later since we book up to two mini weddings on a given day.
The actual number of images taken will also vary based on a number of factors including, but not limited to arriving on time, the type of dress you wear, how cooperative your guests are, and if any small children are present.
Every effort will be made to provide high quality services and to deliver requested photographs. However, because a wedding is an uncontrolled event, we cannot guarantee delivery of specifically requested images. We will not be held liable for the finished product or incomplete coverage in the event of time restrictions (because you are late, for example,) or constraints placed on our photographer by the client or guests.
If your photographer experiences a family emergency or becomes too ill to work, we will make every effort to replace your photographer with another of equal qualifications. If for some reason we cannot do this, we will refund the total cost of photography in your wedding package and you agree to accept this as compensation. We have a list of qualified photographer and we are insured by Professional Photographers of America.
All images in high resolution with a copyright release to print on your own is included with the mini wedding package with our staff photographer. Your photographer will deliver images after editing (removing images with closed eyes, making enhancements based on our discretion, etc.) If we don't give you a particular image, you won't want it, either.
Additional enhancement requests are available for an additional fee. This fee is dependent upon the number of requests and how long the requests take to complete. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Our photographer will pose you to enhance that beauty, and you'll never have to worry about what to do in front of the camera.
Videography: If you hire a videographer (and we welcome this,) please understand they need time with you to complete their own creative requests. Because of this, there is a possibility you may receive fewer still images with the mini wedding because of the necessary interruptions by videographers to stage scenes, sometimes repeating the scene for the best rendition. Whenever possible, photographers capture images at the same time. However, they must remain out of the videographer's frame of view. If you choose the Honeysuckle Hills photographer, please note that with a mini wedding there is also a charge to remove the videographer, their tripods, and other equipment from any image (ceremony or any other location.) We recommend Jake Schick Productions, Don Fields Photography, Nunn Photography, and Team22 Studios if you must hire a videographer for your mini wedding to achieve the best cooperation, thus resulting in the most images and creative content.
