Micro Wedding 101
A micro wedding, or intimate wedding, has become popular in recent years. Many couples opt for smaller, more personal ceremonies. In this blog, we will discuss this new trend, how to plan, and finding the perfect micro wedding package for your big day.
What is a micro wedding?
First, what is a Micro wedding? It is an intimate wedding with a guest list of 40 or fewer guests. Most feature a guest list of twenty to forty people.
These weddings often focus on the quality of the experience rather than the quantity of guests. Couples who choose micro weddings have all the traditional elements of a wedding. These include a ceremony and reception on a smaller scale.
There are several reasons why they are becoming popular among couples. One of the main reasons is the desire for an intimate and personal wedding experience. With fewer guests, couples can spend more quality time with their loved ones. This allows them to create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Another reason for the rise in popularity is the cost savings. Smaller guest lists can lead to a large reduction in the wedding cost. These cost-savers can be especially appealing for couples on a budget.
Additionally, they are shorter in length. For instance, they may last four hours rather than a traditional wedding that may last all day.
How to start planning a micro wedding?
Planning a micro wedding is similar to a traditional one but on a smaller scale. Event venues like Riegel Hall can help you navigate the planning process. The first step is to create a guest list, so you know how many guests your venue needs to accommodate.
Next, choose your venue. Consider the number of guests a venue can accommodate, the amenities, and the cost. Many couples choose non-traditional venues for these types of weddings. Options include a historic home, an outdoor venue, a park, or a restaurant.
Consider the ambiance of the location. The venue needs to fit the vibe and style of your event. For example, choose an elegant and sophisticated venue for a formal event. Choose a more relaxed and laid-back venue for a casual event. Some venues, like Riegel Hall, can offer a formal or a relaxed, laid-back setting.
After choosing a venue, couples can plan their wedding details, like the ceremony, reception, and food.
