Why Micro Weddings Win Every Time
What Is a Micro Wedding, Anyway?
A micro wedding is an intentionally intimate wedding with a 50 guests or under. This small wedding still includes all the beautiful traditions of a full-size wedding, just on a more personal level.
Think: stunning venue, gorgeous florals, emotional vows, and your closest circle.
Not an elopement. Not a backyard BBQ. A micro wedding is a luxurious, detail-rich experience where intentional moments and stunning design come together effortlessly.
Why Micro Weddings Are Totally In Right Now
1. More Time with the People Who Matter
Instead of waving at guests you barely know across the dance floor, you actually get to talk to everyone. Laugh, cry, and connect. without the pressure of hundreds of eyes on you. A wedding isn’t a family reunion, it’s a celebration of love shared with the people who show up for you, support you, and truly know you. It’s not about inviting everyone you feel like you should. It’s about surrounding yourself with the people you want there, those who matter most in both of your lives.
2. Better Budget, Bigger Impact
With a smaller guest list, your budget stretches further.
You can invest in:
A dream venue in Napa or Sonoma. Custom florals in Phoenix or Tucson. A photographer who truly captures the vibe. A chef-prepared dinner in Sacramento or Vacaville
In short: less people, more experience.
3. Way Less Stress
While micro weddings may have fewer guests, they require just as much planning and attention to detail as traditional weddings. You still need a solid plan and a trusted Day-of Coordinator 👋 to ensure everything runs seamlessly. The difference? Micro weddings feel more relaxed, intimate, and truly reflect who you are as a couple.

5. You Can Actually Be Present
