Why More Couples Are Choosing Micro Weddings in Ontario (and Why Femme Weddings & Events Is the Perfect Venue)

IPlanning a wedding can be overwhelming — from the guest list to the budget, it’s easy to feel like your special day is getting lost in the details. That’s why more and more couples are turning to micro weddings and elopements in Ontario. Instead of spending months (and tens of thousands of dollars) planning a huge event, couples are finding joy in intimate celebrations that focus on what matters most — love, connection, and creating unforgettable memories.

At Femme Weddings & Events in Ingersoll, Ontario, we specialize in hosting micro weddings, elopements, and pop-up weddings for couples who want a beautiful, stress-free, and affordable alternative to a traditional big wedding.

What Is a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding is just like a traditional wedding, but with fewer guests — typically 10–40 of your closest family and friends. This smaller guest list means you can:

• Spend more quality time with each guest

• Focus your budget on what truly matters (like great photography, food, or décor)

• Create a warm, relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels included

Many couples describe their micro wedding as “the best of both worlds” — intimate, yet still full of joy and celebration.

Why Choose an Elopement or Pop-Up Wedding?

For some couples, even a micro wedding feels too big. That’s where elopements and pop-up weddings come in. At Femme, our elopement packages allow couples to enjoy a private, meaningful ceremony without the stress of planning. A pop-up wedding provides a stylish, curated experience where all the details are handled for you — just show up, say “I do,” and celebrate.

How to Plan a Stress-Free Elopement in Ontario

For many couples, the thought of planning a large wedding can feel overwhelming. Between the long guest lists, high costs, and endless logistics, it’s easy to lose sight of what your wedding day is really about: celebrating love. That’s why more and more couples are turning to elopements in Ontario as a simple, meaningful, and stress-free alternative.

At Femme Weddings & Events in Ingersoll, we specialize in hosting intimate elopements and micro weddings designed to keep the focus on you. Here’s how you can plan a stress-free elopement and why choosing the right venue makes all the difference.

Step 1: Decide What Kind of Elopement You Want

Elopements come in many forms. Some couples prefer a private ceremony for just the two of them, while others invite a handful of close family and friends. Think about what feels right for you:

• Do you picture a quiet, romantic moment just for two?

• Do you want a small celebration with your closest loved ones?

• Do you want a turnkey package where everything is ready when you arrive?

Step 2: Choose the Right Venue

The perfect elopement starts with the right setting. Look for a venue that:

• Specializes in elopements and intimate weddings

• Offers inclusive, welcoming services for all couples

• Provides simple packages that cover the essentials (officiant, décor, photography, etc.)

• Is conveniently located for you and any guests you want to include

Our venue in downtown Ingersoll, Ontario is designed for just this. We offer all-inclusive elopement packages that make planning effortless — you simply show up, exchange vows, and celebrate.

Step 3: Keep It Simple

One of the biggest benefits of an elopement is simplicity. Instead of worrying about centerpieces, seating charts, and timelines, you can focus on what matters. To keep things stress-free:

• Limit your guest list

• Choose a package that includes the essentials

• Let your venue or planner handle the details

Step 4: Make It Personal

Just because you’re keeping it small doesn’t mean your elopement can’t be meaningful. Add personal touches such as:

• Writing your own vows

• Including a favorite song or ritual in your ceremony

• Hiring a photographer to capture the moment for friends and family who aren’t there
