Micro Wedding. Small Wedding With Big Savings!

Micro Weddings have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional, large-scale Weddings in the Toronto and GTA. These intimate Wedding Ceremonies, typically involving fewer than 50 guests, gained significant traction during the Pandemic due to restrictions on Gatherings and the shut down of Wedding related Services in Toronto. While larger Weddings are gradually coming back in full swing, Micro Weddings are proving to have staying power—and for good reason. 

If you’re considering your Wedding options, here’s why a Micro Wedding might still be the best choice.

1. Affordability: A Wedding Without the Hefty Price Tag.

One of the most compelling reasons to choose a Micro Wedding is affordability. Large weddings can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars, especially when you factor in expenses like Venue rentals, Catering, and Entertainment. The average wedding cost in in Canada hovers around $30,000 or more, but Micro Weddings costs can cut down that figure significantly.

Since you’re working with a smaller Guest list, you can allocate your budget more effectively. Instead of stretching your funds to accommodate 200 or more people, you can focus on quality over quantity. Choosing premium services or experiences without breaking the Bank. Whether it’s splurging on a gourmet menu, hiring a Top-tier photographer, or selecting a beautiful Venue that Toronto and the GTA certainly offers in abundance, Micro Weddings offer the opportunity to create a luxurious experience for less. Cha-ching!!

2. A Smaller Guest List Ensures Quality Time with Loved Ones.

One of the downsides of larger Weddings in Toronto is the lack of personal interaction with your Guests and Family members. With hundreds of people attending a larger Wedding, it’s nearly impossible to spend meaningful time with your loved one. Micro weddings, on the other hand, prioritize intimacy. With fewer Guests, you can genuinely connect with everyone who’s there, making your Special day feel even more memorable.

Having a smaller Guest list also allows you to invite only your closest Family and Friends. You can avoid the pressure of inviting distant Relatives, Acquaintances, or Colleagues you barely know, and focus on those who truly matter – your Family. This not only makes your Wedding more personal but also reduces the stress of managing large crowds.

3. Host Your Wedding Anywhere: Flexibility and Creativity.

A Micro Wedding’s smaller, intimate size opens up a world of possibilities when it comes to choosing a venue. Traditional Weddings often require larger Banquet Halls, Churches, or Hotels to accommodate hundreds of Guests. Micro Weddings, however, can take place in more creative, unique, or personal locations.

Imagine hosting your Wedding at a cozy Bed-and-breakfast, a secluded beach, a scenic mountaintop, or even your own backyard. With fewer Guests, the logistics of planning a destination or outdoor Wedding become much more manageable. The smaller scale also means less stress about seating arrangements, space constraints, or navigating complex vendor contracts.

4. Cheaper Vendor Rates: Savings Across the Board.

Another financial benefit of Micro Weddings is the reduced cost of Vendor services. Vendors like Photographers, Videographers, Caterers, DJs, and Florists often charge based on the size and scale of your Event. With a smaller Guest list, you’ll need fewer flowers, a smaller cake, fewer catered meals, and less labor, all of which can drive down the overall cost of services.

Photographers and Videographers may offer special Wedding Photography Packages and Videography Packages for Micro Weddings that cover shorter time frames or focus on intimate moments rather than hours of candid shots. DJs and local Bands can create custom experiences for smaller, more personal gatherings, while Caterers might provide a higher-end menu since you’re serving fewer people. All of this contributes to making your dream Wedding more affordable without compromising quality.

5. Less Stress and More Control.

Weddings are notorious for being stressful Events to plan, but Micro Weddings offer a refreshing alternative. With fewer moving parts, you can take greater control over the Planning process without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you’re working with a Wedding Planner or handling things yourself, a smaller Guest count means fewer logistical headaches and more opportunities for personalization.

Additionally, Micro Weddings tend to be more relaxed. With just a few dozen guests, you can craft a more casual, laid-back atmosphere, while allowing everyone to enjoy the Day without the pressure of formal expectations. This relaxed vibe often translates to a more meaningful and enjoyable experience for both the couple and their guests.
