Micro-Weddings and Intimate Celebrations

30 guests, no compromise, the format that changed the industry.

The WedCanada Collective

The intimate wedding is no longer the compromise version. 30 guests around one long table, a menu you would choose for your own birthday, a photographer who has time to notice everything: many couples are discovering that a smaller day can be a richer one.

With fewer people, the per-guest budget changes. That might mean a private dining room in a favourite restaurant, a heritage inn booked for the whole weekend, or a tasting menu paired with wines from a local vineyard. Details that would be impossible for 2 hundred become easy for 25.

Keep the structure of a wedding even when the scale is small. A ceremony with intention, a toast or 2, a first dance if you want one. Guests take their cue from you; if the day is treated as significant, it will feel significant.
