Small all inclusive wedding packages exist because most couples don’t actually want to spend eight months coordinating vendors. They want to get married — in a place that feels real, with people they love, without the logistics becoming the story.
The appeal isn’t just simplicity. It’s that when the major pieces are already brought together, the day has room to be what it’s supposed to be. Unhurried. Present. Yours.

What Small All Inclusive Wedding Packages Actually Include
The specifics vary by venue, but a well-built package pulls together everything that would otherwise require separate research, interviews, and contracts. At Weddings Over Waterfalls, our all-inclusive elopement package ($4,150 for 2–10 guests) includes:
- Photography
- Officiant
- Day-of coordination
- Florals
- Hair and makeup
- Cake
- Two-night stay on the property
The micro-wedding package ($8,250 for up to 30 guests) adds catering and full reception support. You can browse the full package details to see exactly what’s covered.
Why Couples Are Choosing Small All Inclusive Wedding Packages
The shift toward smaller, more intentional weddings has been building for years. Couples are increasingly aware that a large guest count and a complex vendor stack don’t automatically produce a better day — they often produce a more stressful one.
Small all inclusive wedding packages work especially well for:
- Elopements with 2–10 guests
- Micro-weddings under 30 people
- Couples planning from out of state
- Anyone who wants the experience to feel relaxed rather than produced
With fewer moving parts, attention stays where it belongs — on the ceremony, the people, and the place.
Where You Find Them Matters
Not all small all inclusive wedding packages are the same, and the setting shapes everything. Beach venues lean on natural light and minimal decor. Urban venues offer structure and indoor flexibility. Mountain and nature-based venues do something different — they let the environment carry weight that no amount of decoration can manufacture.
In the mountains of Western North Carolina, that means waterfalls, moss-covered forest paths, and the sound of moving water underneath everything. The setting doesn’t need to be dressed up. It just needs to be experienced.
For couples drawn to that kind of atmosphere, it changes what the day feels like before anyone says a word.
Small All Inclusive Wedding Packages in North Carolina
North Carolina’s mountain region is one of the more compelling places in the country to get married small. The landscape is genuinely immersive — layered ridgelines, dense forest, creeks and waterfalls that give ceremonies a sense of place that’s hard to find indoors or in more manicured settings.
Weddings Over Waterfalls is a private property with multiple ceremony locations — waterfall sites, creekside spaces, and forest clearings — designed specifically for small weddings. The vendor team is already in place, familiar with the property, and experienced at creating a day that flows without requiring you to manage it.
If you’re comparing options, it’s worth looking at how micro-wedding costs in North Carolina break down, or exploring what all-inclusive packages typically cover before you start making decisions.
What to Look for When Comparing Packages
Not every all-inclusive package is built the same way. Before committing, it’s worth asking:
- What’s actually included versus available as an add-on?
- Is the vendor team in-house or sourced separately?
- How familiar is the team with the property and its natural rhythms?
- Is accommodation included, or is that separate?
The difference between a package that works and one that just sounds good on paper usually comes down to how integrated the team is — and how well the venue is designed for small weddings specifically, rather than adapted from a large-scale model.
Common Questions
What is typically included in small all inclusive wedding packages?
Most packages cover photography, officiant, coordination, and florals. More complete packages also include hair and makeup, cake, and on-site accommodation. Catering is typically added for larger guest counts.
Are small all inclusive wedding packages more affordable than planning separately?
For elopements and micro-weddings, they often are. Bundling reduces vendor markups and eliminates the coordination overhead that comes with managing separate contracts. The savings are most significant when the venue, accommodation, and vendor team are all in one place.
Can you still personalize a small all inclusive wedding package?
Yes. The structure handles the logistics — the details are still yours to shape. Most packages have room for customization in florals, ceremony elements, and timeline without requiring you to rebuild everything from scratch.
Not Getting Married Here? You Can Still Experience It
Even if you choose a different venue, you can still experience the waterfalls, forest, and privacy of the property through a stay at Windows Over Waterfalls.
