What Is a ‘Micro-Wedding?’

As COVID-19 restrictions loosen around the country, the wedding business is booming again. But many still aren't ready to celebrate with large groups of family and friends. That hesitation has given rise to scaled back, micro-weddings. A typical micro-wedding costs much less than a large traditional wedding. The smaller-scale celebration includes far fewer guests, lighter food and drink options, and a shorter run-time. #InsideEdition

people have been doing this for years. and it wasn't even that small

[emconitegamez]

Honestly this is pretty lavish compared to a lot of small weddings

[straightbusta]

What's up with Americans doing normal stuff and giving them weird names

[Mystixspiral]

I thought things would be really tiny, this is a normal wedding with a decent amount of people

[tinastabler]

That was definitely an overpriced “micro” wedding. Did anyone notice the flowers were being used by the next wedding? So how many weddings were charged for the same flowers?

[raterus]

$7, 500 for 24 people? Even if you only paid $1, 000 for the place for 1.5 hours (and that is a stretch), that must be some expensive wine and appetizers served!

I rather have a small wedding with really close family/friends and use the money we would have spend traveling across Europe

[Tacos]

I don’t see how this is cheap. Courthouse then after party in backyard or bbq at park with friends and family is way cheaper

[spikesecho]

I wouldn't call that "micro"....small, but not micro

[isaac]

Anyone else put off by the $7000 price tag? I'd like an itemized list of how the money was spent. Lol

[prashanthd]

Still better than TLC extreme cheapskate & it's spinoff...

If that's a micro wedding I wonder what my wedding would have been called. I only had my dad and sister attending. Married at the courthouse. Used my prom dress. Did my own hair and makeup, my husband picked out his best dress clothes. My sister made us a homemade cake that was my favorite color purple. And we only have one photo of us from that day. We'll be celebrating 9 yrs of marriage in alittle over a month from now

why did I think everything in wedding was gonna be small🤦🏽‍♀️

[jossieliu]

My wedding was only 10 people and about 6k. Smaller weddings aren't really cheap either. Granted, I did a destination wedding.

[lasenoritacometa]

My daughter had one of these and she only dished out about 5k and that’s about it . We met her at this beautiful park in Houston and she arranged a JP to perform the ceremony and maybe less than 30 ppl showed up (which was strictly family and a few friends) had lunch at this nice restaurant. Oh and she rented her wedding dress . It was beautiful and small and ever so lovely ❤️

[Nillybilly]

Hehehe my micro wedding was under 30 people and we only spent around 3, 500 including my dress and it was beautiful!

[druepinkerton]

This is what I did, in a local coffee shop (that we reserved) I called it “saving money” 😂
It cost me around $500 in total. we had cake and sandwiches and sparkling water. I hand picked Wild lavender for all the bouquets and centerpieces. My dress was second hand and we booked a photographer for a two hour portrait session slot that she agreed to use to take a few simple shots during the ceremony and after. I made my wedding arch, my friend cued up the playlist I made for music at the appropriate times, I did my own hair and makeup and the bridesmaids dresses were $30 at a local boutique. it was perfect!

I know someone who got married in 15 minutes at city hall and had their reception at McDonald's with Happy Meals. Cheapest wedding I ever been to.

[DarthFurie]

My "micro wedding" was eloping at the courthouse with 2 relatives to witness. Lol. This pretty much looked like a regular wedding to me, and still cost $7, 500!

[jadoresophya]

My "micro" wedding cost 1500. We went to City Hall and then had a dinner with family and close friends.
