I Do & Dessert: The Micro Wedding That Feels Like Everything (Without All the Stress)
Let’s be honest: somewhere between “let’s elope” and “let’s plan a 200-person wedding for 18 months,” there’s a sweet spot.
It’s called the I Do & Dessert Package, and it’s for couples who want all the beautiful moments—the walk down the aisle, the vows, the champagne toast, the cake cutting, the exit with everyone cheering—without the overwhelming planning, the inflated budget, or the stress that makes you forget why you’re doing this in the first place.
What Is I Do & Dessert?
Think of it as a micro wedding with maximum impact. Up to 30 of your favorite people. A ceremony in front of our gorgeous double fireplace. Cake and champagne. Laughter and happy tears. And you, actually present and enjoying every minute of it.
No seating charts for 200. No plated dinner drama. No “we have to invite my dad’s coworkers” conversations. Just the people you genuinely want there, celebrating the fact that you’re getting married.
Simple? Yes. But also elegant, intentional, and completely yours.
Here’s Everything You Get for $2,500
The Ceremony
We set up 30 vintage mismatched chairs in front of our double fireplace (it’s decorative, but it photographs like a dream). You walk down the aisle. You say your vows. We handle all the coordination and cues so you don’t have to think about logistics—you just get to feel it.
The Celebration
After you’re officially married, we transition to cake, punch, and champagne toasts. We style a beautiful cake display using our collection of vintage china cake plates. You provide a 2-layer sheet cake or 2-tier cake (or we can connect you with a baker we trust), and we’ll make it look stunning.
We set up a beverage station with sweet tea, water, and punch, plus a champagne toast station with flutes for your guests. You bring the bubbly, we bring the setup.
The Space
You get 8 hours at the Historic Dallas Jail, including access to our bridal suite and getting-ready areas. Plenty of time to get ready, take photos, have your ceremony, celebrate, and not feel rushed.
We provide all the essentials: event tables and chairs, white linens for reception tables, velvet lounge furniture for that cozy, styled vibe, and a Bluetooth speaker so you can play your favorite playlist or ceremony music.
And yes—we set it all up and break it all down. You don’t lift a finger.
The Planning Support
You’re not doing this alone. We include:
• One planning meeting to talk through your vision and timeline
• A custom timeline we create for your day
• Day-of coordination with one of our team members onsite the entire event
You get to be the bride or groom, not the event manager.
The Exit
Choose your moment: a whimsical bubble exit or a white streamer popper send-off. Either way, your people will be cheering, and your photographer will get the shot.
Bonus: A Photo Session
We also include 2 hours of weekday venue access for a bridal or engagement session. Bring your photographer, and we’ll give you the historic setting. It’s the perfect way to get comfortable in the space before your big day (and get some gorgeous photos in the process).
Who Is This Package For?
You, if:
• You want a real wedding, just smaller and simpler
• You’d rather spend money on your honeymoon (or your future) than feeding 150 people you barely talk to
• The idea of planning for a year makes you want to elope, but you still want your people there
• You love the idea of an intimate celebration where you actually get to enjoy the day
• You’re the couple who watched someone else’s stressful big wedding and thought, “Never doing that”
This is perfect for:
• The couple getting married later in life who wants to skip the traditional big production
• Second marriages where you’ve already done the big wedding thing
• Couples who just want to celebrate with their absolute favorite humans
• Anyone who values experience over spectacle
What You’ll Actually Remember
Here’s the thing about big weddings: they’re often a blur. You’re pulled in 47 directions, you don’t eat your own food, and you barely get to talk to half your guests.
With I Do & Dessert, you’ll remember everything.
You’ll remember the look on your partner’s face when you walked down the aisle. You’ll remember your mom crying happy tears. You’ll remember your best friend’s toast. You’ll remember dancing with your person in a room full of people who genuinely love you both.
You’ll remember actually enjoying your wedding day.

We have limited availability for this package because we intentionally keep our calendar focused on quality over quantity. We’d rather do fewer weddings and do them really, really well.
