Why Micro Weddings?

Wee or micro weddings offer an intimate, more relaxed celebration among family and friends, with a few extra personal touches. These weddings are perfect for couples who want to have a small celebration with their nearest and dearest.

The unique flexibility of a wee wedding allows you to tie the knot in a unique venue and with a little more extravagance. With group sizes of 20-30 you can genuinely spend time with all your close friends and family in a relaxed and personalised manner.

Instead of spending your special day as a long stream of formal welcomes, thank yous, goodbyes and small talk with distant relatives, a wee or micro wedding allows for a more relaxed and personal vibe. Cutting the guest list allows more time for quality conversation in the excitement of your magical day.

Helen Pyre of Hitched magazine lists the advantages very well in her article, What Is a Micro Wedding and Is It Right For You?.

  1. You’ll Enjoy a More Relaxed Day - Less people, less stress, more fun.

  2. You Can Save Money - You can save money overall but you can also make ever pound go further.

  3. It’s Easy to Personalise - Small/unique venues often mean you have free rein to style or theme the day exactly as you want it.

  4. You Spend More Time With Your Guests - You will be able to spend quality time with each of your nearest and dearest.

  5. You’re Not Restricted By Timings - The beauty of a smaller number of guests is that you can be flexible with how and where you marry.

The one downside of a wee or micro wedding is that you might get a hard time from your friends that don’t make the guest list. As hard as this can be, it is your day and you should not feel guilty about who you do or don’t invite.
