Is a Micro Wedding Right for Me?

This incredibly intimate wedding trend is growing fast and there is so much more to it than simply saving money. 

Micro weddings still feature the time-honoured traditions that make a wedding but on a much smaller and more personal scale.  They have a strong focus on guest experience and are more relaxed and shorter in length with a more simpler feel.

The advantage of a micro wedding is that it doesn’t have to include all the components of a traditional wedding day, just the ones that are important to you.  If tradition doesn’t resonate with your values or vision, there’s no pressure to include it but if it does, then great, include it.

Getting married on a smaller scale means you can create a more luxurious, personal and bespoke experience for your closest friends and family.  A micro wedding is very relaxed and there is more time to chat, more time to just enjoy your time together and you get this incredible supportive, happy and warm atmosphere. 

It doesn’t mean having to compromise on style or the type of day you want. The guest list may be small but the day will be big on style and atmosphere.  It’s all about how you want your wedding to be and not about pleasing everybody else. 

Venue choice is imperative when booking your micro wedding, the venue must suit a smaller celebration and your chosen style.  And where better than the Montagu Arms Hotel nestled in the heart of the New Forest?  This traditional country house hotel in Hampshire offers a romantic and intimate setting perfect for a micro wedding.  The Oakwood room is an ideal size for such a life celebration and boasts parquet flooring, oak panelling, views on to the garden and a crackling fire.

The quintessentially English gardens offer the perfect setting for your garden wedding breakfast.  With a smaller group you can be a little more extravagant with the menu choice.  Create a bespoke wedding menu for a culinary experience you and your guests will never forget.  If you have a passion for exceptional cuisine, the seven-course fine dining tasting menu designed specifically for by the award-winning head chef will satisfy your foodie desires. Accompanied by a exquisite wine pairing chosen by the head sommelier.

There is something truly special about a micro wedding.  The intimacy of spending your big day with only your closest friends and loved ones.  Not only does a micro wedding freely allow you to choose who you would like to share it with but it comes with a romance, intimacy and level of privacy that is undeniable.  Try something out of the ordinary and give your guests a wedding to remember.
