Considering having a micro wedding in <\/span>Springfield or the surrounding area<\/span>? These smaller events are not only a cost-saving alternative to a traditional wedding with 150+ guests, but they\u2019re an intimate affair that can be as unique as you and your partner. Since they are on a smaller scale, there are more options for locations, catering, seating, and activities that can\u2019t easily be recreated at a large Springfield<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a Micro Wedding?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Imagine a normal Springfield<\/span>\u00a0wedding celebration, just on a way smaller scale. Micro weddings most still have a ceremony and reception with dinner, decor, cake, and entertainment. The event is typically 40 people or less, with the majority of micro weddings in the range of 15 to 25 guests. A smaller guest list means less seating, centerpieces, linens, food, and the list goes on. <\/span>According to The Knot’s <\/span>2019<\/span> Real Weddings Study, <\/span>the average wedding last year cost over $33,000, when a micro wedding can be achieved under $10,000. Talk about major savings!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But a smaller wedding doesn\u2019t mean a micro wedding can\u2019t be lavish. While the guest list for micro weddings is limited, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the couple is throwing a frugal, thrifty wedding. Micro weddings allow a couple to bring their true wedding day vision to life with more budget for anything they can dream up! If you\u2019re looking to splurge on a unique venue, a customized catered meal, or lavish decor, you can still save money in the end when the guest list is limited. Micro weddings give your budget more freedom to splurge on something you simply could not fathom providing for 300 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First Steps in Micro Wedding Planning<\/b><\/h2>\n

Similar to planning a standard wedding, the first steps in microwedding planning is to think about your ideal timeframe and solidify a venue. The biggest difference here is that micro weddings allow for many more event location options, inside or outside. From the stage of theatre to a shady spot in your best friend\u2019s backyard, micro weddings don\u2019t have to be confined to a standard wedding venue. Understanding the estimated number of guests and your vision for the day (urban, bohemian, formal, garden, ethereal, modern tropical, rustic, etc.) will help guide you on what type of location to be looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Photography<\/b><\/h4>\n

When throwing a micro wedding, we still suggest hiring a photographer to capture your unique day. Quality photos of you and your spouse are a must! Time and effort were put into every detail of the day, plus your favorite people in the entire world will all be together! You\u2019ll want all this captured to look back on for years to come!<\/span><\/p>\n

Music<\/b><\/h4>\n

Whether you want a dance off to emerge or an evening of sing-a-long tunes around the fire pit, music helps bring your space to life! Set the atmosphere with music from when guests arrive to the final slow dance of the evening. Hire a DJ to make announcements, provide microphones for any speeches, and to create the soundtrack to the day of your dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Videography<\/b><\/h4>\n

With a small guest list, many individuals you enjoy simply won\u2019t be able to make the slim list. Choosing videography for a micro wedding is a great option to be able to share the day with extended family members, coworkers, high school friends, your gym buddy, your mom\u2019s hair stylist, and all those who wish they could have made the tiny invite list.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take the stress out of hiring multiple vendors by choosing a vendor who can cater multiple services for your day.
