What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is a wedding with fewer than 50 people. Many micro weddings have only 10 or so guests, including the couple and their closest relatives and friends.
People might choose to have a micro wedding because:
They want a more personal experience and the ability to spend more time with each guest.
They're especially budget-conscious and want to invest more per guest rather than spreading a thin budget to cover more people.
They're hoping for a less stressful planning and wedding day experience.
Benefits of a Micro Wedding
Planning a micro wedding comes with a slew of benefits, ranging from cost savings to a more meaningful experience:
Less stress: Smaller weddings don't have as many moving parts. Fewer RSVPs, guests, and vendors means less to do and more time to enjoy the little things.
More venue options: Intimate weddings can fit into smaller spaces that a huge guest list would otherwise rule out. Think of unique settings like museums, wineries, gardens, and private estates.
Luxury upgrades: A smaller guest list allows you to stretch your budget further. You can spring for gourmet dining for 20 people, while the same budget applied to a 100-person wedding might mean a buffet or appetizer-only menu.
A focused experience: With fewer guests, couples can create a truly immersive and personal event that feels calm and peaceful.
Choosing the Perfect Venue for an Intimate Celebration
When choosing a venue for your micro wedding, prioritize spaces that can support a cozy yet elegant ambiance. Some considerations include:
Venue size. Spaces designed for small gatherings feel warmer and more inviting than a large ballroom.
Customization options. Ideally, your venue will be flexible enough to allow you to rearrange your space and incorporate personal touches that align with your vision.
Guest experience. Pick a venue that offers beauty, seamless service, and plenty of amenities to keep you and your guests comfortable.
Personalize Your Micro Wedding Experience
The key to separating your intimate wedding from a regular dinner party is adding special touches that feel celebratory and unique to you and your spouse. These micro wedding tips will help you personalize your big day:
Dial in the decor: Plan elegant tablescapes, floral arrangements, and lighting that reflect your personal taste and wedding motif.
Curate a memorable dining experience: Elevate your event with gourmet plated meals replicating your first date and interactive food stations allowing mingling and conversation.
Hire unique entertainment: Liven up the evening with live music, a photo booth, or a caricature artist drawing throughout the night.
Make thoughtful favors: Give out wedding favors that are personalized with your names or inspired by your favorite hobby or travel destination.
