Perfect for couples seeking a meaningful and personalized celebration.

Elopement

  • Guest count: Just the couple, or sometimes with a few close witnesses.
  • Focus: A private and personal commitment ceremony.
  • Atmosphere: Intimate and spontaneous.
  • Reception: Often non-existent or very casual.

Minimony

  • Guest count: Very small, usually under 20 people.
  • Focus: A legal ceremony that serves as a precursor to a larger celebration.
  • Atmosphere: Simple and focused on the legal union.
  • Reception: Often a small gathering or no reception at all.

Intimate Wedding

  • Guest count: Varies, but generally smaller than a traditional wedding.
  • Focus: A celebration with close friends and family.
  • Atmosphere: Relaxed and personalized.
  • Reception: Can range from a casual cocktail hour to a seated dinner.

Mini Wedding vs. Micro Wedding
While both mini and micro weddings are smaller-scale celebrations compared to traditional weddings, there are key differences between the two:

Micro Wedding

  • Guest count: Typically less than 50 guests.   
  • Focus: Intimate ceremony with a strong emphasis on the couple's connection.   
  • Atmosphere: Relaxed and casual, often with a focus on simplicity and elegance.   
  • Reception: Can range from a simple cocktail hour to a small dinner.

Mini Wedding

  • Guest count: Larger than a micro wedding, usually between 50 and 100 guests.
  • Focus: A scaled-down version of a traditional wedding, with elements like a ceremony, reception, and formal attire.   
  • Atmosphere: More formal than a micro wedding, but still less extravagant than a traditional wedding.
  • Reception: Includes elements like a seated dinner, speeches, and cake cutting.

In essence, a micro wedding is an intimate gathering focused on the couple, while a mini wedding is a smaller version of a traditional wedding with more elements and guests.

To summarize:

  • Micro wedding is a scaled-down version of a traditional wedding with a focus on intimacy.
  • Mini wedding is a smaller version of a traditional wedding with more elements and guests.
  • Elopement is a private ceremony for the couple only or with a few witnesses.
  • Minimony is a small legal ceremony that often precedes a larger celebration.
  • Intimate wedding is a general term for a smaller wedding with a focus on close relationships.
