What Is a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding is much like a traditional one except for the guest count, which is under 50. This allows the couple to curate an intimate guest list of only their closest family and friends. It still involves a ceremony, reception, decorations, theme, and a wedding venue. Couples often hold micro weddings in unconventional venues, such as the homes of family members, small gardens, or rustic barns.

Advantages of Hosting a Micro Wedding

Micro weddings are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason!


  • Cost Savings: Micro weddings have a smaller guest list, which means lower costs for venues, catering, and other expenses. This allows couples to allocate their budget more efficiently, perhaps spending more on their honeymoon or saving for their future.
  • Reduced Wedding Stress: It's no secret that planning a big wedding bash gets stressful fast. The numerous details and logistics can feel overwhelming, especially for couples planning the celebration without assistance. A micro wedding takes this pressure off so that the couple can focus on what truly matters—their love and commitment.
  • Intimate Atmosphere: A smaller guest list means more personal time with each guest. A micro wedding ensures every guest has a special place in the couple's lives. Micro weddings are for celebrating with those you cherish and those who cherish you the most deeply.
  • Enhanced Guest Experience: Since a micro wedding comes with a smaller price tag, couples can splurge on wedding favors, dining, décor, and more. For example, couples can invest in more exquisite cuisine for a more luxurious celebration.

Choosing a Barn Venue for Your Micro Wedding

The rustic charm of barns makes for great micro wedding venues! Since they are in private locations, you and your guests will enjoy tranquility in a picturesque environment. Further, they offer some of the most stunning photo opportunities due to their unique architecture, such as exposed beams, high ceilings, and loft spaces; they are also surrounded by scenic landscapes, which adds to the natural beauty of outdoor photos.
