What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is exactly what it sounds like! A small affair, typically with no more than 50 guests. Still include time-honored traditions that make a wedding but on a much smaller scale. A ceremony, a dinner, and if you want some dancing, all can be done!
Why You Should Have One!
Planning a wedding has a lot of moving pieces to it—and an equally huge investment. Weddings these days average well over $30,000, depending on the guest count. Attendees may be dropping slowly, but most couples still celebrate with nearly 150 of their friends and family members. Currently, with social distancing guidelines you can have up to 50% capacity. You’re lucky if your venue can host that many guests. Making jokes about eloping may actually turn into a reality, or you can decide to have a micro wedding.
Skip going down to the courthouse and don’t miss on a chance to do something special! Get your marriage license, hire an officiant, and invite your true few. Then get married in a place that is unique, and different for a small wedding. With fewer guests comes less work, less people to please, less money spent, and more options in terms of spaces to celebrate! Whether it’s in a back yard at a unique Air B&B, or a remote island off the inter coastal, your dreams can unfold of creating a beautiful wedding. If you decide on a simpler location like a public park, beach, or even a bar you can still create a mesmerizing space for your 20-40 guests. Adding pipe and drape, or lights, or specialty furniture can make a space feel more magical and special for your day.
