What is a Micro Wedding? Understanding the Basics

A micro wedding is a new trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years It’s a smaller, more intimate version of the traditional wedding, with typically less than guests in attendance While this may seem like a drastic departure from the elaborate and grandiose weddings we’re used to seeing, there are many benefits to having a micro wedding In this comprehensive guide, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about micro weddings – what they are, how they work, and why they might be the perfect option for your special day

Firstly, let’s define what exactly constitutes as a micro wedding As mentioned before, it is typically an event with less than guests in attendance This means that the guest list is made up of only close family members and friends who are truly important to you and your partner By keeping things small and intimate, you can focus on building meaningful connections with each person rather than feeling overwhelmed by trying to greet hundreds of people

Another benefit of having a micro wedding is cost savings Weddings can be expensive affairs – from venue rental fees to catering costs and everything in between – but by scaling down your guest list significantly, you can save thousands of dollars without sacrificing quality or style Couples often use these cost savings towards other aspects of their special day such as upgrading their honeymoon or investing in luxurious décor

Furthermore, having fewer guests also provides for a more personalized experience for both you as well as your attendees With fewer individuals vying for attention during the ceremony or reception events , everyone can feel included and valued throughout the celebration Additionally , creating thoughtful touches such as handwritten thank-you notes or personalized favors becomes much more manageable when working with smaller numbers

One common misconception about micro weddings is that they lack sophistication or elegance compared to bigger ceremonies because there aren’t extravagant displays or large bridal parties involved However , this couldn’t be further from the truth! Micro weddings can still be just as elegant and beautiful as traditional weddings, with the added bonus of a more personal touch You can create a unique and intimate atmosphere that truly reflects your personality as a couple without being restricted by larger venues or catering packages

In conclusion, micro weddings are becoming increasingly popular because they offer many advantages over traditional ceremonies They allow for more genuine connections between guests, cost savings, personalized experiences, and can still be highly sophisticated and elegant events For those looking to have a small but meaningful wedding day surrounded by their closest loved ones, a micro wedding may just be the perfect option to consider Stay tuned for our next blog post where we’ll go into even more details about how to plan the perfect micro wedding!

I don’t even know where to start. Wendy has truly become a close family member. She made this wedding possible and rescued us when other vendors/venues failed us. South Padre Island should look at Wendy’s quick thinking, organizing, and management skills as a reference. She is South Padre Island. She is the Anna Wintour of weddings planning. Wendy is a blessing and a gift. She made my wife’s wedding perfect and impeccable communication skills and commitment. I can write a whole novel about Wendy and the experience we had with her. She’s truly amazing. Also her prices are more than fair. She does this because she loves it. Also Martin is a fantastic!! Amazing photographer.

My husband and I got married in South Padre in 2021( during covid times) Since we were from Houston, we trusted Weddings By Wendi with all her recommendations for photography, caterer, hair/makeup, etc and couldn't have been happier! On our wedding day a storm rolled in causing us to go from plan A to B but her and her team made sure our special day was perfect even with the unexpected weather! Still think about our wedding everyday!

We absolutely loved working with Wendi and Martin for our family photos. They helped us with how to get the best shot while also making sure to get some poses that we wanted. Wendi did amazing getting our almost one year old to smile too! They are kind and great to work with. We cannot wait to hang the photos in our home!

I cannot thank Wendy enough for everything she did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. I was in the middle of finishing my finals and incredibly stressed, but Wendy took care of every detail and made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free for me. I wanted a micro wedding—something private, intimate, and personal—and she delivered exactly that! The view was breathtaking, and my dream of having a sunset wedding was delivered.

Martin also played a big role in making our day special. He made both my husband and me feel completely comfortable, and we can’t wait to see the photos! I highly recommend!

We were truly fortunate to have had such a flawless day! Wendi was exceptional, and every detail was meticulously planned. From subtle touches to expertly managing challenging guests, she demonstrated remarkable resilience and poise. Her outstanding reputation on the island was evident, as everyone seemed eager to accommodate her requests. Wendi delivers outstanding results, and when she commits to you, she consistently delivers. She and Martin have created a one stop shop, which is perfect for destination or out of town weddings. We are happy to know them and would highly recommend Weddings by Wendi to anyone in the South Texas area and Austin who is planning a wedding soon. Wendi is your go to girl and will make sure your day is as perfect as ours was!!

Wendi and Martin are an excellent team! I had a wonderful experience with both of them. I used them to take my maternity photos and plan my baby shower. I couldn’t say enough positive words about them both. They make you feel comfortable and bring your vision to life. So happy with how everything turned out! Would highly recommend them for photos and events.

I have no words to express how grateful I am for Wendi… from day one she has been helpful, sweet and answered any questions or concerns that I had. She made accommodations for my wedding and made sure that my husband and I felt comfortable and happy with how everything was going to turn out, even my dog was able to participate which was a big deal for me. My wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Wendi, we had beautiful photos taken during the sunset, Martin did an amazing job at taking these photos. I highly recommend Weddings by Wendi

Our wedding came out so stunning. Having Wendi plan out our wedding took so much weight off our shoulders before and during the event. She has a keen eye to every detail and is such an amazing advocate for our vision of how our wedding should look like.
A true wedding planner icon of the island, highly recommend to seek her wedding services.
Also.. the Picasso house is so gorgeous I already miss it.
