Micro weddings and elopement celebrations are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional weddings. Many couples say hosting a micro wedding in New York offers a more intimate and unique experience without the price tag that often comes with large-scale weddings.

A micro wedding is a wedding ceremony that includes a very small number of guests, unusually less than 20 close friends and family members. Micro weddings are similar to traditional weddings, except everything from the guest list to the reception is done on a smaller scale. Micro weddings are great for couples seeking a more private ceremony or for couples operating on a budget.
Elopement is a wedding ceremony that includes only the couple getting married and a wedding official. Usually, there are no guests at elopements. Eloping is a popular choice for couples who want a private ceremony or those who simply want to splurge on a wedding reception instead of spending money on a ceremony.
There are hundreds of top-notch micro wedding venues in New York City, but choosing the best one for you depends on the number of guests in your party and your desired location. If you have less than 20 guests, consider The Mezzanine in Manhattan as your micro wedding venue. If you’re planning an elopement and want to go big on your reception, The Atrium micro wedding venue in Brooklyn can host up to 250 guests.
