Perfect Places around Houston for a Micro-Wedding

Are you planing on having a small, micro-wedding in Houston somewhere? Not sure where to have it exactly? Maybe I can help?

As a wedding photographer in the Houston area, I have been to a lot of wedding venues and have even more venues and non-venue locations tagged. So, let’s start with what type of micro-wedding you’re looking for.

Indoors:

For indoor locations, you can look into renting out spaces in funky downtown bars and restaurants.

  • Rainbow Lodge
  • The Gin at Hidalgo Falls
  • Station 3
  • Ashton Gardens
  • The Gallery
  • Your favorite Bar/Restaurant
  • A Theater (either movie, or live)

Outdoors:

For outdoor locations, you can look into parks, camp sites, rooftop’s and more. There are so many amazing outdoor locations for a micro-wedding.

Be yourself. Choose a micro-wedding location that fits with you and your partner’s personalty. If you like to camp, maybe look up campgrounds, state parks and local parks for your venue. If you love the beach… well there’s one if you just head south on 45.

Whatever you decide to do for your micro-wedding. I know it will be amazing and your wedding will be perfect!

Planning a Micro-Wedding

Wedding styles change with the times, and with this pandemic looming over us, more and more couples have shifted to micro-weddings.

What is a micro-wedding? A micro wedding is an abbreviated celebration of marriage that has only a handful of invited guests (commonly 20 or less), is shorter in duration and is more simple in format, relaxed in atmosphere and less stress to organize than a traditional wedding.

What do you need to do to plan a micro-wedding?

  1. Set your budget: The average wedding in Houston costs $35,000, but you aren’t having an average wedding. You can probably cut that budget in half or even into a quarter of the price.
  2. Find a venue who can host an intimate wedding. You don’t need something HUGE since you will have fewer guests. You might even consider picking up and going on a mini road trip to a wedding location. There are tons of fun vacation locations around Texas that would make excellent wedding locations.
  3. Figure out what’s most important to you and your partner for your wedding.
  4. Figure out the guests you absolutely MUST have at your wedding.
  5. Of coarse, hire a wedding photographer, you’re going to want to capture every detail of your amazing wedding to share with your future children & grandchildren.

Micro-weddings can be so much fun to plan and attend. When life hands you lemons, you make a delicious spiked lemonade signature wedding cocktail. You’re wedding will be unique and totally you, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Don’t forget to bring me along to take your wedding photos!
