As traditional weddings fade, couples embrace more personal celebrations. Our sister venue, The Woodmans, homes The Seedling designed to bring your dream intimate wedding to life.
In the wake of the 2020 pandemic, intimate wedding ceremonies started gaining popularity and led to many couples choosing to refine their guest list and prioritise other aspects of their wedding. With shifting marriage trends, rising costs and changing marriage values, it’s no surprise that wedding ceremonies hosting hundreds of guests aren’t the dream for all newly engaged couples.
Weddings have evolved dramatically over the years. Once seen as grand strategic social occasions to showcase their status and wealth, wedding ceremonies have since shifted to be focused on celebrating love and romance. Micro weddings place the newly-weds, and their love, at the focus of the day. Weddings are no longer about who you know and how much money you have, they’re about showcasing your love and sharing joy with those closest to you.
An intimate wedding ceremony typically invites 30 to 50 guests. Surrounded by only your nearest and dearest, tying the knot has never been more idyllic. Whilst you may have always pictured your wedding day as a big celebration with hundreds of people at the local church, intimate wedding ceremonies allow for creativity with the location, theme and plan for the day.
One of the perks of an intimate wedding ceremony is the lower cost of venue hire, along with a shorter guestlist cutting back many other associated costs. If you’re hoping for a more affordable wedding celebration, a micro wedding could be the perfect option for you. Fewer guests could also mean more freedom to indulge in unforgettable touches. Or that dream destination honeymoon!
An intimate wedding ceremony brings opportunity for a wider variety of wedding venue options. Whether you’ve envisioned tying the knot at your local church, your favourite restaurant or even running away to Bali for a destination wedding, the choice is yours! With less than 50 guests to consider, you could tie the knot just about anywhere.
Our sister venue offers a rustic, chic setting for up to 40 guests.
Scrolling through Pinterest when planning your wedding can be one of the best ways to find inspiration, until you are reminded of that all-important budget you set right at the start. With a micro wedding, all those ideas can become reality. A reduced number of tables and place settings allows you to give every guest that beautiful party favour or create five stunning centrepieces.
