Absolutely! Children of any age are welcome to attend and participate in your ceremony. We do ask that they remain under adult supervision at all times to ensure everyone enjoys the occasion. For those special roles, a ring bearer can carry the rings on a pillow, and a flower girl can drop large silk petals during the ceremony. Please note, though, that any petals should be gathered after the ceremony. Due to time constraints, all guests will be seated just before the ceremony begins to ensure everything flows smoothly.

However, for safety reasons, we kindly ask that you avoid using birdseed, rice, or silly string, as they can create slick surfaces.
