How to Plan a Micro Wedding with Big Style

Weddings don’t have to be big to feel grand. In fact, more couples are choosing intimate gatherings that put the focus on connection, personalization, and a better overall experience. That’s where micro weddings shine. By keeping the guest list small, you open up creative opportunities that aren’t always possible with a 200-person event.

What’s a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding typically involves fewer than 50 guests, but what it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in thoughtfulness. These weddings are known for being more relaxed, more budget-friendly, and more reflective of the couple’s personality. Best of all, they give you room to focus on the experience—not just the logistics.

They’re also incredibly versatile. Whether you want a backyard bash, a private dinner party, or a cozy outdoor ceremony under a tent, a micro wedding makes it possible to do more with less—and do it in style.

Start with Your Dream Setting

Backyards with charm

Hosting a micro wedding at home or in a family member’s backyard is one of the most popular options right now. With the right tent rental, you can turn any yard into a beautiful event space. Add string lights, a dedicated dance floor, and cozy lounge areas to make it feel magical.

Small venues with flexibility

If you prefer something a little more formal, restaurants, wineries, and boutique venues are great for micro weddings. Many of them offer full buyouts for small groups and pair perfectly with customized wedding tent packages that match your vibe.

Focus on Details That Matter

Micro weddings give you space to invest in the pieces that make an impact. Without needing hundreds of place settings or dozens of centerpieces, you can focus on quality over quantity—and create something truly beautiful and personal.

• Statement table settings: Use elevated linens, chargers, and unique tables to create a dining space that feels elegant and intimate.
• Creative seating arrangements: Choose from benches, settees, or mix-and-match chairs with help from our event accessories.
• Thoughtful lighting design: Candles, lanterns, and uplighting help set the mood and highlight focal points like your altar or cake table.

Mix and Match Rental Pieces

Rent what fits the vibe

From boho to modern glam, your rental options aren’t limited just because your guest list is. Our event rentals include everything from soft lounge furniture to farmhouse tables and elegant arbors, so you can mix and match what fits your style best.

Keep things intimate but elevated

Even in a small space, you can bring in high-impact pieces like custom signage, a floral arch, or stunning flooring options to elevate the setting. A smaller guest count means you can use your budget for the details that matter most to you.

Make the Most of Your Budget

Micro weddings allow you to focus your budget on areas that create memorable experiences for you and your guests—like custom cocktails, an acoustic band, or professional photography. Rentals play a huge role in stretching that budget further by giving you access to high-quality pieces without the expense of buying them outright.

• Splurge on one wow moment: Whether it’s a dramatic entryway, a custom lounge, or an over-the-top cake table, go big on something that makes a statement.
• Cut costs on quantity, not quality: Choosing luxury pieces in smaller numbers can have a bigger impact than trying to fill a space with extras you don’t need.
• Use rentals to fill the gaps: Not sure what pieces to rent? Start here: how to know if you need a tent can help you plan around weather and space.
