​Micro Weddings: Intimate Celebrations at an Inclusive Wedding Venue

"Alexa: What is a Micro Wedding?"
A micro wedding is a more intimate celebration, typically hosting 40 guests or fewer. This smaller gathering allows couples to prioritize quality time with their closest family and friends, without the pressures of a large-scale event. Micro weddings typically shorter in timeframe, and most skip the full meal and serve hors d'oeuvres instead.

Why Choose a Micro Wedding?
Opting for a micro wedding allows for a more affordable and personal experience, with attention to detail and meaningful moments. This can also mean a more relaxed planning process, as much fewer moving parts are involved.

Customizable Packages at Our Inclusive Wedding Venue
Our inclusive wedding venue offers micro wedding packages designed to meet all your needs in one place. With options for catering, decor, and even photography included, couples can focus on the experience while our team handles the details.

Traditional Weddings: Grand Celebrations with All the Extras

What is a Traditional Wedding Package?
A traditional wedding package is designed for larger gatherings, typically accommodating 40 guests or more. These packages offer a comprehensive range of options to host a grand celebration with your full guest list. From dinner, and dancing to specialty dances, open bars and cocktail hour a traditional wedding has time for all the things.
Benefits of Choosing a Traditional Wedding
A traditional wedding is perfect for couples who dream of a larger celebration where they can include extended family, friends, and colleagues. It’s an opportunity to enjoy a full day of celebration with a bustling dance floor, formal dinner, and all the classic elements that make a wedding feel timeless.
Inclusive Options for Traditional Weddings at Hawthorn Hills
At Hawthorn Hills, our inclusive traditional wedding packages cover every aspect of your big day, from setup to catering, cake, entertainment and decor. Our experienced team is committed to making the planning process as seamless as possible.

Micro Wedding vs. Traditional Wedding: Key Considerations

Budget and Affordability
A micro wedding can be more budget-friendly due to the smaller guest count and incorporating less "events" into the timeline, which typically means fewer expenses on catering, rentals, and favors. However, traditional weddings may offer greater flexibility with a larger budget, allowing couples to incorporate more elaborate decor, entertainment, and guest experiences.

Guest List and Intimacy
Consider the type of experience you want with your guests. A micro wedding fosters intimacy, with time to connect deeply with each guest, while a traditional wedding brings the excitement of having all your loved ones together for an unforgettable event.

Personalization and Unique Touches
Micro weddings often allow for more unique, personalized elements, as the smaller scale makes it easier to customize decor, menu, and entertainment. Traditional weddings, on the other hand, offer grander possibilities for larger installations, dance floors, and traditional customs.

Flexibility and Planning Time
Micro weddings are generally easier to plan, often requiring less lead time than traditional weddings. If you’re hoping for a short engagement or a stress-free planning process, a micro wedding might be ideal. However, with an inclusive venue like Hawthorn Hills, traditional wedding packages also offer convenience and support, making the planning journey more manageable for both traditional weddings and micro weddings.
