Understanding Micro Wedding Pricing: What Couples Need to Know
Micro weddings are beloved for their intimacy and personal touches—but how much should couples expect to spend? Here’s a clear, practical look at micro wedding pricing so you can plan with confidence.
What Goes Into Micro Wedding Pricing?
Micro weddings typically cost less than traditional weddings, but pricing can still vary depending on:
Venue rental (indoor/outdoor spaces, amenities)
Guest count (usually 10-30)
Food and beverage (private chef, buffet, or catering)
Photography (professional packages, hours covered)
Floral arrangements and décor
Accommodations (overnight stays for close friends/family)
Add-ons (extra photography, special entertainment, custom gifts)
Average Micro Wedding Costs
National average: $5,000–$12,000
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Lower end ($3,000–$5,000): Smaller venues, weekday dates, limited add-ons, or DIY elements.
Mid-range ($5,000–$8,000): Boutique venues, professional photography, floral arrangements, and some extras.
Upper end ($8,000–$12,000): Premium venues, gourmet catering or private chef, extended photography, luxury décor, and overnight accommodations.
