Micro Weddings for Under 30 People: Celebrate Intimacy and Connection

Updated: Sep 10, 2025

Planning a wedding can often feel overwhelming, particularly when it comes to selecting the right venue. For couples seeking a more intimate experience, micro weddings have become increasingly popular. With a guest list of under 30 people, these small gatherings foster connection and togetherness, enabling couples to enjoy every moment. Imagine celebrating your special day at Gites La Colombiere, where local French cuisine delights the palate, and all your guests can comfortably stay on-site. Let’s explore why a micro wedding might be the perfect choice for you.


Embrace the Charm of Micro Weddings


Micro weddings are ideal for engaged couples who value quality over quantity. With a smaller guest list, couples can invest in meaningful moments and personal details. You may wonder why this trend has gained such popularity. According to industry data, intimate weddings foster stronger connections among attendees. Couples get to spend time with everyone, especially those who have travelled from afar. Imagine a celebration that is not just a wedding but also a joyful reunion!

Culinary Delights: Foodie Weddings

Packages for Every Celebration


Gites La Colombiere doesn’t just cater to micro weddings; they offer flexible packages suitable for elopements, micro weddings, and grand celebrations with up to 120 guests. This versatility means that you can select the experience that best aligns with your vision and guest list.


For couples planning an elopement, the venue provides a serene setting with all the essentials to create an unforgettable day. Imagine exchanging vows in a beautiful garden, surrounded by lush greenery, vineyards, sunflower fields, with just the two of you and perhaps a close friend or two. The beauty of micro weddings at Gites La Colombiere lies in their adaptability.



The Meaning Behind Celebrating with Fewer Guests


Many couples with friends and family scattered across the globe find that hosting a micro wedding not only unites them for a joyous event but also serves as a meaningful reunion. You can spend time catching up with distant relatives, reliving precious memories, and creating new ones—all while celebrating your love.

Make It an Experience to Remember


As you plan your micro wedding, think about how you want your day to feel. You have the creative freedom to customise everything, from décor and entertainment to unique activities. Maybe you can hire a local musician for live music during dinner, providing that extra touch of charm to your gathering.


Consider adding personalised elements that highlight your story as a couple. This might involve setting up a photo display of your journey together or offering a signature cocktail that symbolises your relationship.


Furthermore, Gites La Colombiere offers various experiences that allow you and your guests to immerse yourself in the region. You could arrange wine tastings, or To the door cycling to explore the surrounding countryside together. Take everyone kayaking down the Dordogne River and see the countryside from another viewpoint. The list is endless.


Crafting a Personal Touch


When planning your micro wedding at Gites La Colombiere, consider personal touches like handwritten note cards for each guest, or creative alternatives to traditional guest books—perhaps a finger painting tree where guests add their thumbprints, or a station where they write marriage advice letters for you to open later. A carefully curated dessert table can double as both a sweet treat and fuel for dancing. By choosing colours, flowers, and decorations that reflect your unique personality, you'll create a celebration that's authentically yours.


Celebrating Love in the Most Meaningful Way


In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get lost in the details of wedding planning. However, a micro wedding allows you to slow down and focus on love and the connections you have with those closest to you. Surrounded by an intimate group and a beautiful backdrop, your day unfolds naturally, filled with laughter, love, and joy.


Whether you're newly engaged or planning a second celebration, a micro wedding, an elopement or a grand wedding, we are here for you. Are you ready to embark on this journey with Gites La Colombiere?
