One of the wonderful things about weddings is that they can be completely tailored to you. Many people love grand celebrations with hundreds of guests, but if that’s not your speed, there’s no need to worry—you can still hold a stunning ceremony and reception for a smaller crowd, made all the more intimate by its cozy, elegant ambience.
When it comes to the best places and ideas for small weddings, we consider ourselves experts! We’re highlighting just a few of our favourite micro wedding venues; our wedding planners would be delighted to discuss even more options with you!
Pop-up Wedding Day in Niagara
Experience the best day of your life without the stress of wedding planning with a pop-up wedding! At Bella Terra Vineyards, you and 8 of your loved ones can experience a small ceremony that overlooks acres of vineyards separated by a glistening pond. This venue offers a stress-free private ceremony and all-inclusive reception where you can share intimate moments with your partner and make memories with your guests that will last a lifetime.
The Gardens at Pillar and Post
Lush greenery, picturesque water features, and fresh, seasonal blooms make The Gardens at Pillar and Post a gorgeous venue for your small garden wedding.
