What is a Micro Wedding?

Micro weddings, or intimate weddings with a guest list of 50 (note that the Calypso House has a guest capacity of 25) people or fewer, have gained popularity in recent years for a variety of reasons. Many couples are opting for micro weddings because they offer a much more personalized and meaningful experience, as well as a better value for their money.

Here are a few reasons why micro weddings can be a better value:

  1. Cost savings: Micro weddings typically cost less than traditional weddings, as there are fewer complications, guests to feed, and fewer overall resources needed to host the event. This can allow couples to allocate their budget towards other important elements of the wedding, such as a higher-quality venue or a more elaborate honeymoon. Otherwise, spending less on your wedding can give you more financial security in the long run. You can use the money you save on your wedding to start saving for a down payment on a house, pay off debt, or invest in your future.
  2. More personalized experience: With a smaller guest list, couples can be more selective in who they invite and can create a more intimate atmosphere. This can make the wedding more meaningful and special for both the couple and their guests.
  3. Less stress: Planning a wedding can be a stressful and time-consuming process. With a smaller guest list, there is less pressure to please everyone and couples can focus on creating a day that is true to their vision and values.
  4. More flexibility: Micro weddings often offer more flexibility in terms of location and timing. Couples can choose a unique or non-traditional venue, or even have a destination wedding without the logistical headaches of a larger event.
Overall, micro weddings can be a great option for couples who want a more personalized and meaningful experience, without breaking the bank. While they may not be for everyone, they can offer a great value for couples who are looking for an intimate and stress-free celebration.
