5 Myths About Micro Weddings You Should Stop Believing

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

• Is a micro wedding boring?

• Is a micro wedding just a cheap alternative?

• Can a small wedding still feel special?
  — you’re not alone.

Let’s bust the 5 biggest myths about micro weddings and show you why they’re actually one of the best ways to get married — especially here in sunny South Florida.

Myth #1: A Micro Wedding Means a Courthouse or Boring Ceremony

Truth: A micro wedding can be just as beautiful, meaningful, and stylish as a large-scale wedding — sometimes even more so.

In fact, many couples search:

“Can I have a beach wedding with just 10–20 guests?”

Yes — and it can be absolutely stunning.
With the right micro wedding package, you’ll still have a decorated ceremony setup, floral arch, aisle decor, music, a professional officiant, and even a photographer. The difference is: you’re sharing the moment with your closest people only.

At Wedding Day Packages, our most popular micro wedding beach packages in Florida include everything you need for a small but gorgeous ceremony — no courthouse required.

Myth #2: Micro Weddings Are Always Cheap (In a Bad Way)

Truth: Micro weddings are usually more affordable, but that doesn’t mean they’re low-quality.

A lot of people search:

“Is a micro wedding just a budget wedding?”

Not at all. Micro weddings cut costs by cutting guest count, not by cutting corners.

When you don’t have to pay for a 100-person dinner reception, you can invest more in:

• A stunning ceremony setup

• Beautiful flowers and decor

• High-quality photos

• Custom ceremony details

Many of our couples choose a South Florida micro wedding package specifically because they want quality over quantity. And yes — it’s still possible to have everything you need for under $5,000.

Myth #3: You’ll Miss Out on a “Real” Wedding Experience

Truth: A micro wedding is a real wedding — just more personal.

We see questions like:

“Will it still feel special if it’s just 10 people?”
“Will it still feel like a wedding?”

Absolutely. A micro wedding actually lets you focus more on what matters — the vows, the emotion, the connection. It’s not about managing a big crowd or following a strict schedule.

In fact, most couples tell us afterwards:

“That felt even better than we imagined.”

You still walk down the aisle, exchange vows, take photos, play music, and celebrate — just on a smaller, more intentional scale.

Myth #4: Micro Weddings Aren’t Worth Hiring a Photographer For

Truth: The photos from a micro wedding are often even more emotional and visually beautiful than from large weddings.

Here’s why:

• Fewer people = less stress

• Outdoor locations (like the beach) = stunning natural light

• Intimate moments = real, raw emotions

If you’re googling “Is it worth hiring a photographer for a small wedding?” — the answer is 100% YES.

All of our micro wedding packages in South Florida include professional photography, because we believe every couple deserves to relive their special day through photos — no matter the size.

Myth #5: You Can’t Have a Destination Micro Wedding

Truth: You can absolutely have a small wedding in a beautiful destination — and South Florida is one of the best places for it.

A lot of couples type in:

“Can I have a micro destination wedding?”
“What’s the best location for a small beach wedding?”
