Smaller Ceremony, Big Day!
How to make your day special during a challenging time.
The current pandemic has made it difficult for many couples to celebrate their nuptials. But small ceremonies can still mean big fun at Mansion Royal with a fun, personalized small wedding. We can make your day perfect beyond your wildest dreams! Read on to learn about micro-weddings or “mini-monies,” a way to have your beautiful wedding safely.
What are micro-weddings or “mini-monies?”
Simply put, a micro-wedding/”mini-mony” is a scaled-down version of a big wedding ceremony. This typically means 50 or fewer guests. With health restrictions varying from place to place, it’s possible that your wedding could be even smaller. These small weddings give the benefit of intimacy for you and your guests. There’s no running around to make sure you talk to hundreds of people, and you can enjoy your special day with your very closest friends and family.
These events can be anywhere! Some couples prefer an indoor, traditional ceremony such as Mansion Royal’s ballroom. Others have unique spots that are meaningful to them, and we bring our services to their location.
How do I set up a micro-wedding/”mini-mony?”
Even though they’re smaller, mini-monies take careful planning. You’ll want to focus on your guest list to make sure you get the appropriate group there without going overcapacity. It’s a good idea to skip the traditional wedding party if you have a lot of family members you want to invite. Thanks to the many virtual chatting options now available, you can invite as many people as you want to attend virtually! Mansion Royal can help you set up the technical side of this, to make sure you see all of the smiling faces that can’t make it in person.
The ceremony may be small, but you want your event to feel nice and full. Our experts at Mansion Royal can find the perfect layout for you to use in our ballroom, making you feel surrounded by guests but ensuring safety standards are adhered to.

How can we make sure your day is still special?
It’s your day! You want it to be the event of your dreams! Smaller weddings provide a lot of interesting ways to make your wedding unique and personal. Some ideas include:
- Special table cards: Create personalized cards or menus that speak to who you are as a couple and celebrate your individuality.
- Getting your guests more involved: With a small wedding, you can have more people speak or read at your ceremony or reception, provide a wider variety of tasks to the wedding party, get more people in your photos, play games, and generally make it a really fun party with the people you’re closest to.
- Dancing it out: With more space to dance, spread out and get your groove on!
- Focusing on the details: Your party favors can be more personalized with fewer people. Souvenirs from the place you and your partner met, special memories between you and each guest, and unique items to take home are easier to make happen with fewer people attending.
Your day is a celebration of the love you have with your partner. Just because it has to be scaled down does not mean it can’t be a dream come true!
