If you’re dreaming of a small, beautiful wedding with the people who matter most, you are not alone. Micro-weddings—weddings with 60 guests or fewer—are becoming more popular every year. In fact, recent polls say micro-weddings are up over 60%. More and more brides are choosing them, and it’s easy to see why.

At The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane, we see this trend every day. Brides want a wedding that feels warm, close, and full of meaning. Here are the biggest reasons micro-weddings are growing so quickly.

1. More Personal and Meaningful Moments

When your guest list is small, your day feels calmer and more connected.
You actually get to talk to everyone. You get to hug your grandparents, laugh with your best friends, and feel present in every moment.

Many brides say this is their favorite part of having a micro-wedding—
it feels like a true celebration of love, not a big production.

At a small venue like The Emerald Cottage, every detail feels personal, from the cozy décor to the warm glow of candles and soft greenery. Nothing gets lost or rushed.

2. You Celebrate With Your Closest Family and Friends

A micro-wedding lets you keep your circle small and meaningful. No pressure to invite coworkers you barely know or relatives you haven’t seen in years.

Just your people.
Just your love story.
Just the moments that matter.

Couples often say this makes their day feel safer, calmer, and more special. It also creates a peaceful, intimate atmosphere you simply can’t get with 200 guests.

3. A Chance to Personalize Every Detail

Smaller weddings allow you to add special touches you might not be able to do with a large crowd.

Brides love that they can personalize things like:

• hand-written notes
• custom tablescapes
• meaningful florals
• unique décor
• special treats or gifts

When you’re not planning for hundreds, you can make every detail feel like you.

At The Emerald Cottage, brides often design charming candlelit tables, cozy cottage scenes, and garden-inspired moments that would be hard to manage at a big wedding.

4. It Helps Manage Costs Without Giving Up Beauty

Weddings can be expensive—sometimes overwhelmingly so. A micro-wedding gives you the chance to keep your budget under control while still creating a stunning, unforgettable day.

With fewer guests, you spend less on:

• food
• seating
• décor
• rentals
• large venues

Instead, you can invest in things that matter most to you—your dress, your flowers, your photographer, or a beautiful, intimate venue.

Small weddings don’t feel “less than.”

They often feel more special, more intentional, and more beautiful.
