From now until at least the end of the year, there likely won't be any large weddings, especially as couples who were planning to tie the knot in 2020 are choosing to cancel, postpone, elope or hold a "micro wedding" on a much smaller scale. Although people dream of being surrounded by all their loved ones and extended family, Hotel Providence is introducing an elopement package for an intimate ceremony for just 10 guests. Micro weddings at Hotel Providence are branded as intimate, romantic and memorable, and they unfold on a tented rooftop terrace and include an overnight suite for the couple.
As well as introducing new distancing-friendly wedding packages, many venues are opting for open-air spaces that give everybody involved more breathing room. As an alternative to weddings that run into the thousands of dollars, this micro wedding package costs just $500.
