"Nobody wants kids at their wedding"
That’s a comment I came across from a DJ, and it triggered something within me.
For far too long there’s been this huge push for weddings to be "child free" as if every couple has this desire. However I think It’s time to cut the "group think" built on extremes and allow couples space to think for themselves.
If someone chooses an adults only wedding, that’s their call. But turning wild stories into a blanket statement about children not belonging at weddings misses the point entirely.
Weddings aren’t just events. They’re literally a gathering of generations. They’re grandparents, parents, friends, and yes, children. Kids don't "ruin" weddings. A lack of awareness and accountability does.
We’ve seen beautifully run celebrations where children were part of the day in a way that felt natural, joyful, and completely aligned with the experience. We’ve also seen adults create far more disruption than any child ever has during our career.
A good wedding isn’t created based on the age of it's guest's. A good wedding is built with intention and presence.
If you want an adults only celebration, own that choice. It can be incredible. But framing children as the problem because of isolated incidents isn’t it.
A wedding done with care creates space for the people who matter to the couple, and many times the people that matter to the couple are the children.
