Small Intimate Wedding Venue Ideas in Sydney & NSW

Planning an intimate and small wedding celebration or elopement in Sydney or regional NSW, and looking for some venue ideas and decor inspiration? We've got you covered!

Small or micro weddings can be just as beautiful and creatively fun as larger weddings. You don't need to break the bank to achieve this either - it's possible and no, we're not lying. It's all about less is more and making the most of the space or venue to enhance the atmosphere.

Here's a spotlight on some beautiful small weddings we've been a part of recently across Sydney and NSW. We hope it helps with your small wedding planning!

Maggie & Max's Inner-West Retro Wedding

Maggie & Max's vintage retro wedding captured by Margan Photography highlighting the unique streetscapes in the Inner-West for some epic portrait shots of the couple. Keeping it intimate with 20 guests, they chose local venues that they had a connection with. There's no right or wrong when it comes to choosing wedding venues! Their ceremony was held at The Bearded Tit, an eclectic bar in Redfern and reception at the couple's fave restaurant Russo & Russo in Enmore.

Maggie wanted a bright and unique bridal bouquet, she gave us creative freedom with the design which is the key to making magic - trusting your vendors! We used a mix of roses, dahlias, peonies, anthuriums and a phalaenopsis orchid with our LTB signature trailing ribbons. A matching buttonhole for Max summed up the wedding party. When you have your closest family and friends with you, there's no pressure for bridesmaids or groomsmen.

The couple chose to focus their floral budget on some minimalist bud vases at the reception. An impactful and cost effective way to add decor on the table, still leaving room for food, drinks and candles. The velvet curtains on the stage set an epic ceremony backdrop that didn't need any additional florals.

Tuyet & Nathan's Opera House Micro Wedding

Tuyet & Nathan's Micro Wedding captured by Rachel Gutierrez Photography on Valentine's Day. We usually don't take on weddings in the week leading up to Valentine's Day, however Tuyet was drawn to our Soft & Pastel Bouquet and gave us creative freedom to create a special bridal bouquet.

They had their ceremony inside the Opera House with their closest friends and family, followed by celebratory drinks at Whalebridge on the water and a banquet feast at Palace Chinese.

Nerija & Elvis' Blue Mountains Retreat Wedding

Also featured on Hello May, Lime Tree Bower's own Nerija had her intimate wedding in the Blue Mountains at Kanimbla View Clifftop Retreat. Captured by Damien Milan, highlighting the beauty of the Australian landscape and incorporating Lithuanian traditions. Each unique celebration is so special!
