Frequently asked questions
When should we book Little Pearl?
We recommend reserving your date as soon as your venue and wedding timeline are confirmed. Availiability is limited and dates are secured on a first-come, first-served basis.
How do guests sign up for childcare?
We encourage couples to include childcare information with their wedding invitations, wedding website, or RSVP process.
You can write a simple note such as:
"Complimentary childcare will be available during our wedding. Please indiciate the names and ages of any children requiring care when submitting your RSVP."
This allows up to begin planning an age-appropiate experience for all children attending.
What information do you need from parents?
Prior to the wedding, parents will complete a childcare registration form including:
-Child's/children's name(s) and age(s)
-Parent contact information
-Allergies or dietary restrictions
-Medical needs
-Childs interests
-Authorized pickup adults
-Any additional information that may help us support their child
When is the registration deadline?
To ensure we can properly prepare activities, supplies, staffing and personalized amterials, all childcare registrations must be submitted no later than 30 days before the wedding date.
Any additions after this deadline are subject to availability.

Where does childcare take place?
Childcare may take place in a dedicated room, private event space, hotel suite, or designated area approved by the venue. If necessary, childcare can take place at a seperate table at the reception.
We will work with your venue and wedding coordinator/planner to determinet the best location.
Do you have insurance?

How is staffing determined?
Staffing is thoughtfully planned based on:
-Number of children
-Ages of children
-Length of event
Our goal is to maintain a safe, engaging, and personalized experience for every child.
Can parents check on their children during the event?
Absolutely. Parents are welcome to visit the childcare space at any time. Additionally, parents can also feel free to check in/out their child for sections that they might want their child to be more included in the wedding and sections that they want adult-only time.
For Pearl Signature and Pearl Luxe experiences, photo updates may also be provided throughout the event.
What if a child becomes upset?
Our educator-led approach prioritizes comfort, patience, and connection. If a child becomes distressed and is unable to be comforted, a parent or designated contact will be notified.
Do you provide meals?
Child and allergy friendly meals and snacks may be provided in the Pearl Signature and Pearl Luxe packages (venue permitting).
What is required to secure our date?
A signed service agreement and deposit are required to reserve your wedding date. Because availability is limited, dates cannot be held without a completed booking.
