The latest annual National Wedding Survey commissioned by Hitched.co.uk reveals the average cost of a wedding in the UK has risen to the \u00a320,700 mark, which may explain why online searches for the term \u201cmicro wedding\u201d are at a five-year high, surging a whopping 669% year on year globally to just over 12,000 searches per month*. <\/p>\n

Here in the UK, searches have increased by 11% year on year** as interest as couples make big changes to their guest lists by reducing them in size to cut overall costs, while giving their wedding days a more intimate feel.<\/p>\n

Zoe Burke, leading wedding expert and editor of Hitched.co.uk says: \u201cOur latest data shows that guest experience and cost are the two most important factors couples consider when wedding planning. One way of making sure your wedding is one your guests will remember having a gorgeous time because they got to spend so much of it celebrating with you, is by having a micro wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegistry offices are the go-to solution for couples looking to save money by having a smaller wedding, as demonstrated by the more than 1-in-10 newlyweds last year choosing this option for their big days, but there are also hundreds of licenced wedding venues across the UK that cater to both an intimate guest list, and tighter purse strings.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because you aren\u2019t inviting hundreds of people, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t still celebrate your big day in a gorgeous venue, with the full catering and entertainment you\u2019d expect from a traditional wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll a micro-wedding does is reduce the numbers \u2013 both of people, and financially \u2013 while still ensuring your big day is as personalised and wonderful as the happy couple.\u201d<\/p>\n
