Because of the Corona Virus world pandemic, safety restrictions have significantly reduced wedding numbers and many couples have been unable to have their ideal dream wedding and have been forced to either cancel or rearrange their big days...

What is a micro wedding? As the name suggests, a micro wedding is all to do with scale. Sometimes defined as small and intimate weddings, typically a micro wedding will host a much lower capacity involving the invitation of fewer guests to your special day. Most aspects of a larger traditional wedding can form part of a micro wedding and there are many reasons why couples opt for this type of celebration. Why should you choose a micro wedding?

Reduced planning and Stress time - 2020 is stressful enough already without having to plan and organise details for 100+ guests on your wedding day Having to logistically only think about less than 20 guests can significantly reduce your stress and the time planning your wedding day.

It also significantly cuts down on things such as menu choices, table plans, and party favours Micro weddings cut down A whole host of stressful things on your to-do list just by reducing your guest numbers.

Especially when most venues charge Per head when it comes to guests.. so cutting down from 100+ to less than 20 will be a significant decrease in the financial impact of the day.. However some people are choosing to Spoil their guests in these situations.
