What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is an intentionally intimate celebration—typically under 100 guests—that focuses on meaning, connection, and experience rather than scale. It’s ideal for couples who want a wedding day that feels elevated and personal without the overwhelm, timelines, or pressure of a large traditional event. At The Arcadian Estates in Cape Girardeau, weddings are designed to feel calm, beautifully curated, and deeply memorable for couples across Southeast Missouri. By putting your wedding budget toward the experience rather than per guest, clients can design the wedding of their dreams with the most luxurious feel.

Guest Count, Timeline & What It Feels Like
Micro weddings at The Arcadian Estates are thoughtfully paced so couples can actually enjoy their day. Most celebrations follow a relaxed flow—guests arrive and gather, the ceremony unfolds in the courtyard, followed by portraits, a toast or cocktail moment, and an easy, graceful exit.
With a smaller guest count, the experience feels more like hosting a luxuriously intimate gathering than managing an event. There’s time to connect, breathe, and savor the moments that matter—something couples often say they didn’t realize they wanted until they experienced it.
