In one of the nation\u2019s most expensive real estate and rental markets, it makes sense that the lion\u2019s share of the expense goes to the venue, which comes in at $11,767.14 on average (the highest in our study). However, add $1,700 for catering for 50, $500 for a DJ, and $475 for a photographer, and you\u2019ve still got yourself a wedding cost that falls way below the national average for a traditional wedding.<\/p>\n<p>The runner-up? Miami, Florida. Famous for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife, the average micro wedding cost isn\u2019t as steep as San Francisco, but at $15,392.02, it\u2019s still a significant investment. The venue alone comes in at $8,423.69, but with $400 for wedding makeup for four people, about $433 for a wedding hairstylist for four people, and $1,550 for the average cost of the couple\u2019s attire, you\u2019re looking at a beautiful, but still affordable, wedding.<\/p>\n<p>With its rich musical and industrial history, Detroit, Michigan, rounds out our top three most expensive cities for a micro wedding. Despite having a more affordable venue price of $4,097.44, the catering cost might have you singing the blues \u2014 to the tune of $7,500 for 50 guests.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Least_Expensive_US_Cities_for_a_Micro_Wedding\"><\/span><strong>The Least Expensive U.S. Cities for a Micro Wedding<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum, say hello to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the average cost for a micro wedding is just $6,622.00! With the lowest venue cost in our study and affordable extras like officiant and DJ services ($250 and $410), it\u2019s clear that Minnesotans know how to say \u201cI do\u201d without saying \u201cI\u2019m broke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cincinnati, Ohio, follows close behind, with a total cost of $7,245.57. Here, you can host your big day for a fraction of the cost and still manage to include catering, an officiant ($982 total for both), and a photographer ($300).<\/p>\n<p>Last (but not least), we land in Raleigh, North Carolina, where an average micro wedding will cost you $8,068.95. With reasonable prices for venues and catering ($3,438.95 and $1,250) and photography and officiant costs around $250 each, this Southern city proves that you can have your wedding cake and eat it too \u2014 without emptying your savings account!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Costs_Behind_Micro_Weddings_in_the_US\"><\/span>The Costs Behind Micro Weddings in the U.S.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wondering if your city made the list or how it stacks up?

We\u2019re happy to see the shift away from a \u201cbigger is better\u201d wedding mindset that these smaller gatherings represent, for love and commitment are not measured by the size of a crowd or the opulence of a venue. In the end, it\u2019s all about two people promising to share their lives together in the presence of witnesses who truly cherish them.<\/p>\n<p>So, whether your love journey involves a lavish micro wedding in San Francisco or a budget-friendly gathering in Minneapolis, remember that the value of your big day won\u2019t be defined by its cost or size, but by the love it celebrates.

Next, we found local data on average prices for wedding venues and catering for up to 50 people, wedding photographers and officiants, a wedding DJ for three hours, wedding hair and makeup artists for four people, and couple attire costs (like wedding gowns and tuxedos). We also included national average costs for wedding florals.
