MINNEAPOLIS VENUES FOR SMALL WEDDINGS, SAINT PAUL VENUES FOR SMALL WEDDINGS
If you’re engaged or looking to get married this year, you’ve definitely had to contemplate your wedding size. In 2020 so many couples were forced to change their plans because of gathering restrictions in different states. But maybe watching all of that chaos brought you to one conclusion: you want to have a small wedding. Whether it’s to forgo stress in the future, to create an intimate environment, or because you’ve always wanted one, this decision comes with more venue options than ever before. Many locations started to offer “micro-weddings”.
Micro-weddings are typically the full-stop event – but with a lower guest count. You may still have all the same vendors. You may still even use the same venue. But the group you put together is smaller and more intimate.
If you’re considering a small wedding in the Minneapolis / Saint Paul metro, look no further. This is a list of the best Minneapolis metro venues for small weddings.
Remember: a small event doesn’t mean it’s less important. It doesn’t mean it can’t be grand or beautiful. It can be all of those things – maybe even more so – simply with fewer people present.
