Micro Wedding Packages in Queensland

Micro wedding packages in Queensland typically cater for small and intimate weddings with 2 - 60 guests. Small wedding packages are offered by all types of wedding venues from luxury island resorts to private properties and are available in some of Queensland's most iconic destinations including the Scenic Rim and Great Barrier Reef.

Micro wedding packages in Queensland cater to all budgets, ranging in price from under $1,000 to over $100,000. The small wedding packages on this list include spectacular destinations at both ends of this price spectrum and offer world-class backdrops and experiences for intimate weddings.

There is no industry standard when it comes to small wedding packages in Queensland. Some packages include venue hire only so that you can DIY everything to your preference, while others include a large list of inclusions from celebrants, photographers and accommodation to flowers and catering.

In Queensland, weddings of up to 10 guests are usually considered elopements, up to 30 guests are micro weddings and 30 to 60 guests is typically defined as a small or intimate wedding. Venue hire is cheaper with fewer guests due to less rubbish, wear & tear and staffing requirements hence, we suggest advising your guest numbers when making an enquiry.
