The Ultimate Guide to Micro Weddings in Ohio: How to Plan, Host & Celebrate Your Perfect Day at Cedar Bay Farm
Thank you!
Thank you so much for stopping by! We’re thrilled you’re here and excited to share everything you need to know about planning a beautiful micro wedding in Ohio. Whether you’re just starting to explore ideas or already envisioning your perfect day, we hope this guide inspires you and helps you see how Cedar Bay Farm can make your celebration effortless, intimate, and unforgettable.
What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is a smaller, more personal version of a traditional wedding — usually around 50 guests. You still get all the special parts of a big day — vows, music, food, and dancing — just in a more relaxed and meaningful way.
At Cedar Bay Farm, a modern barn wedding venue in Lebanon, Ohio, we create small celebrations that are big on love and light on stress. Couples enjoy rustic charm, beautiful views, and the comfort of a family-owned property.
How Big Is a Micro Wedding?
Most micro weddings have about 50 guests — enough to celebrate with your closest people, but small enough to keep it personal.
If you invite fewer than 20 guests, that’s often called an elopement. Over 50 guests usually becomes a small traditional wedding.
The best part of a micro wedding is connection — you know and love everyone in the room.
How Much Does It Cost?
Micro weddings often cost between $2,000 and $12,000, depending on your location and choices.
Average ranges:
DIY or Airbnb setup: $2,000–$7,000
Professional venues (like Cedar Bay Farm): $5,000–$12,000
At Cedar Bay Farm, you get tables, chairs, lighting, and décor included — plus a stunning setting for both ceremony and reception photos.
Can You Have a Micro Wedding in an Airbnb?
You can, but there are things to watch out for:
Most Airbnbs don’t allow events.
You’ll need to handle rentals, catering, and coordination yourself.
Parking, restrooms, and noise limits can be tricky.
That’s why many couples choose a venue like Cedar Bay Farm. You get the same cozy atmosphere with all the right amenities — and an experienced team to make it easy.
What Makes a Great Micro Wedding Venue?
A great venue is designed for smaller gatherings — beautiful, efficient, and stress-free.
At Cedar Bay Farm, couples love:
A bright, modern barn with high ceilings and warm lights
An outdoor ceremony lawn with wide country views
A cozy indoor space for dinner, dancing, and fun
It’s perfect for couples near Cincinnati or Dayton who want something private, elegant, and natural.
How to Plan a Micro Wedding
Planning a micro wedding is easier than a large event. Here’s how to start:
Make your guest list (40–60 people).
Pick a venue that’s simple, beautiful, and flexible.
Focus on your top priorities — food, photos, flowers.
Add personal touches like handwritten vows or a custom playlist.
Relax and enjoy every moment.
Our micro wedding packages at Cedar Bay Farm make planning easy while keeping the focus on what really matters — you and your story.
