I love a micro wedding
Micro weddings ...... the new cool
I love micro weddings. They are personal, relaxed, and generally a lot more fun. In recent years, micro weddings have emerged as the gold standard for couples seeking intimate and meaningful celebrations. With fewer guests, more personalised touches, and a focus on the moment rather than the spectacle, micro weddings allow love to take centre stage.
I have been to all types of weddings, from ones with over 200 people where the couple didn't know everyone to small micro weddings with 20 guests, both are fantastic in their own way. Both were perfect for the couple; some people want the big, showy day, while others are terrified by it. It's okay, it's your choice, you have what you want. Both weddings produce amazing photos; you don't need a huge wedding to make it aesthetically perfect.!!!!
At the heart of bespoke micro gatherings stands someone truly essential: the celebrant. A celebrant is more than just the person who "marries" you. We are a storyteller, a guide, and a calming presence on one of the most emotional days of your life.
Unlike traditional officiants who may follow a specific religious or legal script, celebrants craft custom ceremonies that reflect who you are as a couple. We blend humour, sentiment, and symbolism into a ceremony that's as unique as your love story. We can include congregation members, and at a micro wedding, that could be everyone. I have been to a micro wedding where everyone said a blessing to the couple, you couldn’t do this with 200 guests, you would never get to the bar or dancing !!!!
So Why Celebrants Are Perfect for Micro Weddings?
Micro weddings give couples space to prioritise what matters most—and the ceremony is often at the top of that list. Celebrants excel at creating bespoke ceremonies tailored to your relationship, values, and vibe. With fewer logistics and guests, there’s more room to weave in personal vows, rituals, or meaningful readings that resonate with your journey.
You can include your speeches in the service. If Dad is terrified of speaking, then he can give his speech during the ceremony and then relax and enjoy the special day.
Smaller guest lists mean your ceremony can feel less like a performance and more like a heartfelt conversation. A good celebrant will read the room, we adapt our tone, and create an experience that feels warm and genuine, not rehearsed or generic.
Whether you're saying "I do" on a beach at sunrise or in your backyard under twinkling fairy lights, celebrants go where your heart leads. Micro weddings often take place in non-traditional spaces, and as celebrants, we are well-versed in crafting ceremonies that suit any environment, from rustic barns to city rooftops.
Even the smallest weddings can come with nerves. Celebrants are often experienced in helping couples feel grounded. We will guide you gently through the ceremony, and ensure everything runs smoothly—even if the flower girl wanders off or the wind steals a vow card.
As your celebrant we will meet in person or virtually: chemistry matters! A great celebrant will feel like a kindred spirit—someone you can laugh with, cry with, and trust with your most sacred moments. So when you are choosing your celebrant, make sure you ask for samples or testimonials: a seasoned celebrant will have past ceremonies or reviews that provide insight into their style.
And look for creativity: you want someone who listens to your story and brings fresh, thoughtful ideas to the table—not just a plug-and-play script.
At a micro wedding, every detail matters more because there are fewer distractions. That’s why the right celebrant isn’t just a nice-to-have—they’re essential.
We help you honour your love in a deeply personal and unforgettable way, creating a ceremony that doesn’t just mark the start of your marriage but celebrates its soul.
So if you’re planning a micro wedding, start your search early, trust your instincts, and choose a celebrant who truly "gets" you. Your future selves—and your guests—will thank you.
