What is Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding is a scaled-down wedding celebration, typically with fewer than 50 guests (and often under 20). Unlike elopements, micro weddings still include guests but maintain intimacy through the small number of attendees. This format allows couples to allocate more budget per guest for higher-quality experiences - better food, premium venues, or luxury details. Micro weddings became especially popular after 2020 when gathering restrictions made large weddings impossible. Benefits include reduced stress, more meaningful time with each guest, potentially lower overall costs, and the ability to host in unique venues that can't accommodate large groups.
