Episode 49 - The Cultural Shift to Micro Weddings with Jenny Mac
What happens when couples stop planning for everyone else and start planning for themselves?
In this episode of Mind Your Wedding Business, Kevin sits down with Jenny Mac, founder of Eloping is Fun, to explore the global movement redefining what it means to get married. From intimate city hall moments to five-star destination dinners, Jenny has helped nearly 1,000 couples design celebrations that trade pressure for presence, and performance for joy.
Together, they unpack how the rise of elopements and micro weddings signals a deeper cultural shift - one rooted in individuality, authenticity, and the freedom to say โI doโ anywhere, any way. Jenny shares what inspired her to build a brand around breaking tradition, how smaller guest counts are reshaping vendor collaboration, and why the โyour wedding, your rulesโ mindset is the future of the industry.
She also dives into what vendors need to know to stay relevant in this new era of intentional weddings - and how pros can adapt their offerings to serve couples who value experience over excess.
