How many guests are considered a micro wedding?

There is no legal or official number that defines a micro wedding, but most couples and venues use the term for weddings with 20 guests or fewer. Some go even smaller, with just parents, siblings and a witness or two. The key is that a micro wedding is intentionally small, not a scaled-down version of a big event. You might invite 10 people, or 18, and both count. The advantage is that you can spend more per guest on a lovely meal or a special venue, because the total cost stays manageable. You also get more time to talk to each guest, which many couples love. When you contact venues, ask if they have a minimum guest count, as some places require a certain number for a Saturday booking. Others will happily host a ceremony and meal for a small group on a weekday. The legal requirements, such as giving notice and having two witnesses, stay the same whatever your guest count.
