Petite Weddings & Elopements
Intimate Celebrations. Thoughtfully Designed.
Not every wedding is meant for a large guest list. For many modern couples, the most meaningful celebrations are the most intentional, surrounded by a select group of loved ones and focused on creating an exceptional guest experience rather than accommodating a crowd.
As Ottawa’s original Petite Wedding specialist, Kennedy Event Planning has spent years redefining what intimate celebrations can be, creating refined, design-led weddings and elopements that prioritise connection, guest experience, and thoughtful details. Working with a carefully curated collection of venues and trusted professionals, we design and coordinate elevated celebrations that feel personal, seamless, and beautifully executed.
Whether you envision a private exchange of vows or an intimate wedding surrounded by your closest family and friends, our Petite Wedding services provide all the expertise, guidance, and attention to detail of a traditional wedding planning experience on a more intimate scale.

“I planned my wedding from out of town with Shannon’s assistance. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed the days and hours leading up to my wedding (and obviously the wedding itself). She was so highly organised and ensured that everything went according to plan and that is due, in large part, entirely to her! ” – Caitlin & Robbie
