When we think of small weddings and their venues, we often think of a cosy and intimate day. If you are planning a wedding without a long list of guests, it would be odd to choose a large and vast venue. You would run the risk of the venue feeling rather empty or overwhelming for your celebrations.
Choosing a small venue doesn’t have to imply the impression of you spending any less on your day. Smaller venues can still be decorated and adorned top to bottom, inside and out with streams of floral decorations, lighting and other props to give an even cosier, maximalist luxe to your day.
Small venues can also offer the chance to hire within a wider range of building styles. From quirky little churches and village halls, to country houses that offer a beautiful barn and courtyard for your wedding day. Many venues are able to cater from small to large weddings with clever venue layouts which make small weddings feel as at home as larger weddings.
Over the years, trends in micro-weddings have been on the rise. It is perhaps due to a more considerate decision amongst the prevalence of Coronavirus, but also due to the simplicity of a small wedding and the venue it’s held within can offer a couple overwhelmed by planning. A wedding ceremony is by nature a very personal event in two people’s lives and some also choose a smaller wedding to share it with only their closest of friends and their family.
Of course, subject to either your venue choice or plans for the day, the evening reception can be a far larger affair to celebrate the joyous events of your day. The most important thing to keep sight of throughout your wedding planning and choice of venue is that it works for how you and your partner envisage celebrating the day.
