To be honest some of the best Weddings I’ve DJ’d at have been small intimate celebrations. Some were during 2020-2022 but they have become very popular of late — and it’s easy to see why.
Couples are choosing intimate weddings that focus on connection, atmosphere, and unforgettable moments rather than big numbers and rigid timelines.
Whether it’s a countryside escape, a coastal celebration, or a private dining room in a boutique venue, micro weddings in Ireland prove that smaller weddings can still deliver huge magic.
What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding usually includes 10–50 guests and keeps all the best parts of a traditional wedding day — ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, and dancing — just on a more personal scale.
In Ireland, micro weddings often take place in:
-
Small wedding venues
-
Boutique hotels
-
Private houses or gardens
-
Restaurants and intimate function rooms
It’s not an elopement — it’s a full wedding, just more intentional.
