for small weddings
As a Los Angeles wedding planner, I can tell you it is possible to have the small, intimate wedding you’ve been dreaming of in a big, bustling city! Welcome to Kindred Weddings and Events, where we focus on crafting an event to remember that highlights all the special relationships in your life.
You know, the bond you have with your grandmother over baking. The fond memories of camping and exploring in nature every summer with your family. The best friend who held your hand through the trials and challenges of growing up.
Those relationships have shaped you into the person you are today!
What would it feel like to actually spend time being present with the people you love?
Your wedding day is a special time to celebrate all of these relationships. And to allow your loved ones to honor and support this new relationship you are stepping into. It’s time to start planning your love-fueled, intimate wedding!
Here at Kindred Weddings and Events, we work alongside introverted engaged couples helping them confidently make decisions to intentionally invest their resources, providing them and their guests with a joyful marriage celebration through intimate weddings.
We strive to put happy and healthy relationships back in the driver’s seat of wedding planning, by creating spaces with purpose and vision that look beyond the wedding day throughout your marriage.
By investing in a solid wedding planning foundation that defines your vision and expectations, I can help you get your time back, so you can focus on what matters most - your relationships!
Marriage is the reason I work in the wedding industry as a Los Angeles wedding planner. I don’t do it for that one special wedding day, I do it for every day that follows after ‘I do!’
Your relationships are what makes you & your love story so unique. This is why we focus on collaborative vendor partnerships & creative planning to craft a unique experience that reflects your truest self. Our planning process gives you back your time to spend with the people you love most.
All are welcome here!
I want you to feel known as you truly are - and to be able to show up as your best self on your wedding day. It’s our joy to proudly support and encourage the LGBTQ+ community, and strive for diverse, authentic weddings for all bodies, all peoples, all loves, and all walks.

Our wedding was nontraditional in a lot of ways, and it focused on people and guest experience over typical wedding expectations, and she never questioned it or made us feel strange for our choices—she just truly wanted to make our vision come to life, and she did.
Our wedding not only happened because of Sarah, but it somehow managed to look and feel precisely how we envisioned it, better even, because she handled all the details with such creativity and grace
Kevin + Dani
We are so thankful we found Sarah. She exceeded all of our expectations and made the planning process and the day itself seamless. She took the time to listen to what we wanted while still being thoughtful of the budget. Most importantly, she kept us on track at every stage of the process so we never felt too stressed. Sarah is a wealth of knowledge and a joy to work with. On top of being exceptional at her job, she is a lovely human being with bright and positive energy.

Hear It From Our Couples
From the beginning planning stages, Sarah gave us guidance on our big-picture wedding vision and design theme. She just *gets* us and grasped our vision so quickly. EVERYTHING was executed with excellence on the day. The wedding looked and felt just like how we dreamed it would. Our families and friends noticed her at work and only had positive things to say about her team.

An intimate wedding is for anyone who:
Basically, everyone deep down inside wants to have an intimate wedding! But we end up having too many expectations thrust upon us (both internal and external) that lead to bigger, and busier wedding days.
A small wedding (my specialty is less than 80 people) can help amplify the intimacy and connection of your gathering. It protects the purpose and intention of your gathering, adding a layer of respect for your guests that are present.
Take a step back and think about what you want less of, to help create more margin for enjoying time with your favorite people.
- desires to put their relationships first
- wants to focus on building a solid foundation for their marriage
- wants less on their big day, not more
Less noise so you can focus on conversations.
Less waste so you can give back.
Less people so you can be your truest self.
Less space so the closeness reverberates the joy.
Less formalities so you can express who you are.
