Many couples planning a wedding may be concerned about costs. In addition to the flowers, dresses and tuxedos, weddings can cost a great deal in food and venue rentals. A micro wedding can be as joyous as a lavish affair and allow you to enjoy time with dear friends and family without breaking the bank. Micro weddings also offer the chance for an intimate event that will be remembered.
Lower guest count keeps costs low
The more people you plan to invite, the larger your venue will need to be. If you plan to feed people, a large wedding will also be more costly. Check with local caterers to find out what a basic meal will cost per plate before you start your guest list.
Another benefit of a micro wedding is that your wedding party doesn’t have to be mobile. You don’t have to move from church or chapel to reception venue as a large group and force your guests to move from location to location.
When you book your micro wedding, you can use a smaller venue where the move from wedding to meal or reception can be as simple as walking to another room.
You can easily connect with all of your guests
If you have a large family in one location, a large wedding may make more sense. Many adults have family scattered around the country. In such cases, a micro wedding or even an elopement, followed by a series of receptions in different locations, may allow for closer family connections.
Lowers planning stress put on the couple
When you plan your micro wedding, you can truly focus on who and what matters to you. If part of your plan is to include your grandmother and her mobility is limited, you can book your wedding in a private park or small venue that offers excellent access.
A micro wedding can feature all the bells and whistles. You can have an attendant and a groomsman and beautiful flowers throughout the space. You can serve a wonderful meal for your guests in the same venue. You can do all the things that you see happen at a grand wedding on a smaller scale and pay detailed attention to what truly serves you and yours.
Gives couples access to unique, private venues such as secluded beaches
When planning a micro wedding, you can talk to your planner about visiting a non-traditional location. If you’ve always wanted to get married barefoot on a beautiful beach, you just need chairs, flowers, a canopy and an officiant. Keep your guest list small to keep things simple.
Micro weddings are quick to set up and easily portable. If you want a micro wedding as the sun goes down near your favorite vista, you can make it happen. By keeping things simple and flexible, you can also bring your micro wedding to the home of a friend or a loved one. You can also enjoy it in your backyard or a small area that is personal to you.
