What To Look For in a Florida Micro Wedding Venue

Micro Wedding Packages

A lot of venues offer packages for more intimate celebrations. These can be great options to streamline your planning experience and ensure you’re getting services and amenities that align with your smaller guest list.

Available space

Check for spaces that feel intimate and cozy. While you can have your wedding in any space, renting a space that is too large for your guest list size can make your wedding feel small and can also end up costing more to decorate.

Central Florida Micro Wedding Venues

Renowned for Orlando and its iconic theme parks, this region boasts an array of unique micro wedding venues, from luxurious resorts to charming lakefront locations. It’s an ideal destination for couples looking to combine some good old fashioned fun (hello, Disney Parks!) with natural beauty.
