Is a Toronto Micro-wedding for you?
Trending right now in the Toronto wedding industry are micro-wedding. A micro-wedding is a wedding with under 50 people. It is still a full-service wedding from ceremony to reception, but it saves money and is a lot most personal. The cost per person goes up while the amount of people comes down. Micro-weddings keep all the traditions of a big wedding but also keeps it personal.
A wedding is your chance to celebrate! Make the most of only having a few guests and do something you’ve always wanted to do.
The Venue
With a smaller number of people, you aren’t restricted to large banquet halls like you would with a wedding of 100+ people. Venues are no limit with your small group from a back yard to an art gallery. Anywhere you want suddenly becomes possible.
A Toronto Micro-weddings take advantage of the small number of guests and splurge on the three things all weddings, big or small, have in common.
- Food: A 5-star experience with personalized menus specific to the taste of the person to make their experience more enjoyable. When having a large wedding, the couple chose the meals for the guests, and they just have to accept the food options.
- Alcohol: Traditionally having an open bar is expensive. Using cheaper alcohol is an easy way to save money. When you only have a small number of guests going for top-shelf drinks is still very affordable. Not only that, but there also won’t be as much wasted alcohol that happens at large weddings.
- Dancing: Renting a DJ, and a dancefloor is expensive. And not worth it if you only have a few guests who might not even be dancers. So why not get a private room in a high-end club.
These are the basics of building the wedding experience! Once you choose a venue and decide on what you want to do, it’s easy to add to it.
Dress up your Toronto micro-wedding!
Once you’ve decided where you want to have your wedding, adding professional touches are easy! For florals, check with your local florist rather than a wedding florist as they usually have a minimum spend and won’t need that many flowers.
As for cakes, it is an excellent opportunity to get creative with a local bakery. Much like the wedding florists, most professional wedding cake makers have a minimum spend, but you don’t need a triple-layer cake that feeds 50 people. Head on over to the bakery; you’ll be surprised by what they can do for you.
Event decor is still essential, but depending on your venue, you might already have a backdrop.

Dress your best!
Wedding dresses can be expensive and when you are already spending a lot on a large wedding, cutting corners is a typical response when choosing your dress. Since you save so much with having a micro wedding, this is your chance to have the princess dress you’ve always wanted. If that’s not your style, feel free to wear a simple outfit or whatever you feel comfortable wearing. Remember it’s your day you should feel great about it. No matter what you choose to wear. Micro-weddings are about enjoying yourself rather than upholding traditions.
The biggest reason people have micro-weddings is to have a personalized experience with their guests. With such a small number, it’s easy to do that. Things such as sending invites and thank you notes to your guests can be handwritten on fancy cardstock rather than mass printed and still be affordable.
The idea behind the micro weddings is to splurge on your guests and spoil yourselves. Spending money might not be the case for everyone. You could be more comfortable with a micro wedding for the simple reason of saving money and still cut costs like you would for a large wedding. Since the 70s the amount of guests has been steadily decreasing. It makes sense that micro-weddings will be on the rise and will be popular for years to come.
Both formal and informal, the Toronto micro-wedding trend is designed to fit your budget and style.
