One of the chief reasons micro weddings are so popular among couples is the flexibility to get married anywhere. But just because you can get married anywhere doesn’t necessarily mean you should get married just anywhere.

Most wedding venues will accommodate smaller weddings by offering intimate packages of reduced rates and tight-knit setups; but many standard wedding venues are simply built for larger soirées and thus can feel cavernous and empty when an intimate wedding rolls in.

Having photographed dozens of weddings over the past several years in business, you can say we’ve seen a micro wedding or two in our time (that’s an understatement, in case you didn’t catch our drift). And we’ve visited equally as many—if not more—wedding venues in the Central Florida area. From our experience as seasoned wedding-goers, we’re sharing our favorite venues that have just the right intimate, comfortable yet elegant feel perfect for your micro wedding.

Located just minutes from the Orlando International Airport in the up-and-coming Lake Nona region of metro Orlando, Wanderlust Okto is part wedding venue, part staycation property.

While some elements are still a work in progress, there’s a lot of potential here—especially for couples who want the flexibility to get creative.

We shot our first wedding at The Cottage on Lake Fairview in Orlando, FL back in summer 2023, so when we heard this venue had recently undergone new ownership and a fresh renovation, we couldn’t wait to visit again!
