The Beautiful Pros and Hidden Cons of Micro Weddings

In recent years, the concept of the micro wedding has become one of the most sought-after ways to say, “I do.” These intimate celebrations, we typically see ranging from 20 to 60 guests, are reshaping what weddings can look and feel like. While a smaller scale might mean fewer guests, it certainly doesn’t mean fewer memories.

At Daniel et Daniel Catering & Events, we’ve seen firsthand how food and service often become the centerpiece of a micro wedding. With a smaller guest count, couples have the opportunity to truly elevate the dining experience, creating a celebration that is every bit as memorable as a grand affair.

Turn a Typical Toronto Backyard into a Wedding Venue

Toronto’s top wedding venues are always in high demand, and many couples find themselves competing for prime weekend dates. With that in mind, a backyard wedding can be a beautiful and practical alternative.

In recent years, micro weddings have become an increasingly popular choice, allowing couples to celebrate in a more intimate, meaningful way. A backyard setting naturally lends itself to this trend, creating a warm and personal atmosphere that larger venues can’t always match.

A backyard celebration offers charm, flexibility, and a truly personal touch. To start, all you really need is a happy couple, some guests, and a backyard. If you’re missing the first two, well—maybe a wedding isn’t the right event for you. But if it’s just the backyard you’re short on, chances are family or friends will be happy to help. With a little imagination and creativity, hosting a backyard wedding is a wonderful way to make your special day uniquely yours.

Five of the Best Fall Wedding Venues in Toronto

As Toronto’s top catering company, we have in-depth experience in both wedding catering and wedding planning. We recently wrote about the “Pros and Cons of Having a Backyard Wedding in Toronto” and were really happy to hear how this helped many couples with their wedding plans. As summer is almost over and we are heading into the fall, we wanted to share some of our expertise and experience for people considering getting married during this beautiful season.  While they are wonderful, fall weddings aren’t without their own unique challenges.

It’s without question that fall weddings have significantly grown in popularity in recent years. And why wouldn’t they?  The fall in Ontario has a lot to offer to make your wedding spectacular.  From gorgeous foliage colours to an increased availability for popular outdoor venues, you can often have the best options available. As well, you have an abundance of fresh, seasonal, local fruits and vegetables that can be utilized by your caterer, and this on its own an compelling reason to get married in the fall!  Having an understanding of the challenges that you may face when holding an outdoor fall wedding will help you make an informed decision on the best venue in Toronto for your special day.

Based on our 30 years experience catering weddings, the two biggest challenges many couples face with holding a fall wedding are timing the date correctly to the foliage changes and handling the unpredictable weather.
