4 Reasons Why You Should Consider a Micro Wedding
Since the beginning of this pandemic, wedding planners like me have witnessed the stress and disappointment impacting engaged couples, as they attempt to navigate their way around rising health concerns, changing dates, capacity limitations, travel restrictions and venue closures.
We have seen firsthand the tears of frustration and anger as wedding deposits have been lost, religious ceremonies have had to be postponed and couples have been forced to grapple with next steps, in an attempt to salvage their wedding day. They thought this was supposed to be a pinnacle in their life’s story, but now what?
Don’t let COVID ruin your wedding day!
At the Doylestown Inn, we have embraced the “micro-wedding” trend born out of necessity, due to the coronavirus. These micro weddings have been so unique and special, that I believe this trend may catch on and extend well beyond the pandemic.
4 Reasons why you should consider a micro wedding
- Lower Cost: Let’s face it, a large lavish wedding can be a huge expense. Where do you limit the guest list? How do you budget for great food, bar, flowers, décor, the dress and every other detail without compromising quality? A micro wedding, on the other hand, can be top notch at a fraction of the cost, leaving you with money for a down deposit on a house or a once in a lifetime honeymoon (after all the wedding should be all about the two of you)
- Intimate: Ask any couple who has been married for a while and they won’t be able to recall the names of all their wedding guests. A micro wedding means an intimate guest list. The shared experience in a small wedding is undoubtedly special. Each guest recognizes the importance of their presence at this monumental occasion and will become an indelible part of your wedding day. And don’t forget, we live in the age of ZOOM, so you can always opt to virtually share your intimate wedding ceremony with family and friends far and wide.
- Unique: Aside from the cost, large traditional celebrations come with a set of rules and a standard protocol. A small wedding affords you the flexibility to tailor your wedding celebration and make it unique, just like you! You may choose to make your wedding formal or casual. You can go traditional, employ a theme or create a celebration that’s completely different. You can honor family traditions or create new ones. Whatever you choose, it’s all about you from beginning to end.
- Location: Hosting your micro wedding at an all-inclusive venue, in a quaint historic location like Doylestown, in Bucks County PA, offers many of the same perks of a destination wedding without the extensive travel expenses. Here at the Historic Doylestown Inn, from check in to check out, our micro wedding couples and guests enjoy comfortable well-appointed guestrooms, including a bridal suite, a full-service restaurant with banquet services and a staff that aims to meet every expectation.
