5 Reasons Micro Weddings and Elopements rock
December 30, 2024
Let’s face it: traditional weddings aren’t for everyone. The long guest list, seating charts, and rigid timelines can make your big day feel more like a chore than a celebration.
Enter micro weddings and elopements: the perfect way to throw tradition out the window and craft a day that’s all about you and your partner. Whether you’re a New England local or dreaming of a destination elopement in Iceland or Banff, here are five reasons why micro weddings and elopements absolutely rock.
1. It’s All About You
The beauty of a micro wedding or elopement is that you get to focus on what truly matters: your love story. Forget trying to please 150 people—this is your chance to create a day that reflects your relationship. Whether it’s exchanging vows under the vibrant fall foliage of Stowe, Vermont, or overlooking the iconic peaks of Banff National Park, the day is completely yours. No distractions, no drama, just an intimate celebration of your connection.
2. The World Is Your Venue
When you’re not tied to a big guest list, your options for locations are practically endless. Dreaming of coastal cliffs? Say “I do” surrounded by the rugged beauty of Acadia National Park in Maine. Prefer mountain vibes? The rolling hills of the Berkshires in Massachusetts offer a mix of stunning views and romantic charm. For those ready to take adventure to the next level, consider the jaw-dropping glaciers and black sand beaches of Iceland or the turquoise lakes and alpine scenery of Banff. Your backdrop can be as epic as your love story.
3. Intimate Moments, Zero Stress
With fewer moving parts, a micro wedding or elopement is so much easier to plan. You can ditch the endless spreadsheets and instead focus on the moments that matter—like that first look on a secluded trail or sharing a quiet picnic after your vows. Smaller celebrations naturally create space for those raw, emotional, and unscripted moments that make your day unforgettable. Plus, with a laid-back vibe, you can actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about what’s next on the timeline.
4. Adventure Meets Romance
For couples who love exploring the great outdoors, micro weddings and elopements bring a unique sense of adventure. Imagine hiking up to a secret viewpoint in the Green Mountains for a sunrise ceremony or exploring Iceland’s waterfalls hand in hand. Whether it’s an intimate hike in Stowe, a misty morning ceremony on Maine’s rocky coast, or a boat ride on one of Banff’s pristine lakes, your elopement becomes more than just a wedding—it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
5. Your Photos Will Be Next-Level
When your “venue” is nature’s finest work, you’re guaranteed some stunning photos. Picture yourselves framed by the vibrant fall colors of New England, standing under the Northern Lights in Iceland, or snuggling by a mountain lake in Banff. With fewer guests and more flexibility, you’ll have time to focus on creating those jaw-dropping, frame-worthy shots that will let you relive the magic forever. Bonus: You’ll look amazing because you’re relaxed and fully present in the moment.
