Micro Weddings at Astoria

What Is a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding is an intimate celebration with 30–50 guests. It gives you the full wedding experience—ceremony, dinner, dancing, photos—on a smaller, more personal scale. Instead of feeling like a production, a micro wedding feels like a beautiful gathering with your closest family and friends.

You still get to wear the dress, share the toasts, cut the cake, and dance the night away—just without the expense of a large guest list.

Why Choose a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding may be the right choice if:

• You want a budget-friendly wedding that doesn’t sacrifice style or experience.
• You’d prefer a celebration that’s personal, relaxed, and stress-free.
• You’re already feeling overwhelmed by the idea of planning a big wedding. Part of you just wants to elope—but deep down, you still want to share your vows with family and friends instead of keeping the moment private

The Astoria Micro Wedding Experience

Every Astoria micro wedding includes both ceremony and reception, so everything is in one place and flows seamlessly.

• 30 Guests – Same Room Ceremony (Complimentary)
  Your ceremony takes place in the same elegant room as your reception. Guests remain comfortably seated at their dining tables, and the room is coordinated for a smooth transition into your reception. Includes an extra half hour for vows.
• 50 Guests – Separate Ceremony Setup (Included)
  For larger micro weddings, your package includes a dedicated ceremony space. This setup features a floral aisle, elegant backdrop, Chiavari chairs for seating, and an extra half hour reserved for vows and photos.

Both options are designed to keep things simple, beautiful, and stress-free.
