I'm sure you've heard of this term being used on social media: "micro wedding". But, what exactly is a micro wedding? And does it come at a cost? A micro wedding is just that- a wedding that is smaller than a typical event. And today it is more popular than ever when venues are limited in the number of people that they can have at one time and social distancing is as important as ever. But where do you even start with a micro wedding? The good news is that you don't have to sacrifice your vision for the day. You can still have the color scheme you want and the decor you want, but you may have to compromise on the venue and date. Micro weddings are intimate, romantic, and full of love, despite their small size. After all, a bigger wedding doesn't mean your marriage will be any more successful. At the end of the day, you are committing to each other in front of those that mean the absolute most to you. And there is nothing "micro" about that.

If you have already picked your venue and are just making it smaller, chances are you can still make your venue work! You'll have to think of your layout for both the ceremony and the reception, but this should be easy enough for the venue's planner or your wedding coordinator. 

If you have not yet picked your venue, the great thing about a micro wedding is that it really opens up your choices. From the private dining room of your favorite restaurant to a beautiful backyard, a smaller guest list means you can hold your wedding basically anywhere. Fewer guests means you will need less of....everything! You won't need as many tables and chairs, as much food, or as many seats for the ceremony.
