(aka PopUp wedding)<p><b>Micro wedding</b> is a new term for a small private wedding. Here's a <a href="https://www.cp24.com/video?clipId=2477724">news clip</a> about this 'trend' <br />Send us an <a href="https://forms.gle/EbLhY7M5s8AwjfiG6"><b>enquiry here</b></a> and we'll explain more.</p><p>We have conducted 'micro weddings' since 2004. They are also called 'elopements', 'small civil weddings', 'city hall weddings', 'pop-up weddings', 'house weddings', 'registry weddings', 'family weddings" and lots of other terms, and it basically means the way your great-grandparents were probably married. </p><p>In earlier days, people generally got married at home, in the 'parlour' or outside on the lawn. You got dressed in the bedroom, and the family and local ladies made the wedding brunch. </p><p>Today's couples often choose a park, the condo party room, someone's balcony, or a quiet corner of a city landmark, or any place you can gather with a small group for a half hour, the same as you would hold a graduation picnic, a birthday party, or just any little celebration.

Although we do conduct outdoor weddings in winter, and have ventured to snowy spots like the Brickworks. Grange Park and Riverdale Park, and even the skating rink at Nathan Phillips, I DO RECOMMEND indoor locations for your small intimate micro-wedding. We need to have about 30 minutes for the wedding and signing, and it gets COLD, and we can't sign if it's wet.<p></p><p>SO! Your apartment, my apartment, your friend's condo event room are handy. Most restaurants will let you stand in a quiet corner at 4pm (before evening service) and hold a quick wedding, (don't say "wedding", say "private meeting" - they don't want to worry about confetti and champagne serving). But do ask about private 'snugs', small dinner party rooms at places like the Irish pubs on the Danforth.</p><p>But you can also rent a co-working room at various locations, like the Centre for Social Innovation on Spadina, etc. Just think, 'where could I hold a small meeting?', and you'll think of places you could hold a small wedding. Contact me at marybeaty (at) gmail (dot) com, and I can offer suggestions.

You can pre-BOOK a few places for small weddings (Hart House, Vic College, etc.). But sometimes you can also just wander in with a handful of family and find a quiet corner. I liked this stone step, because I'm really short and the groom was a Big Friendly Giant.

I make house calls! You may have a wedding at your home, apartment, in a park, hotel, restaurant, or other location of choice. Or hot air balloon.<br />
