Why the Big White Wedding Is Out — and Micro Weddings Are In
Once upon a time, weddings came with a seating chart, a 200-person guest list, and a price tag that rivalled a house deposit. Today, couples are choosing something different: smaller, more intentional celebrations that trade tradition for authenticity.
At Faithwood Chapel, we see this shift as a return to what weddings were always meant to be — a moment of deep connection, joy, and personal meaning. Welcome to the age of the micro wedding, and the beginning of your new favourite love story.
What Is a Micro Wedding?
Micro weddings are intimate ceremonies typically attended by 20–30 guests or fewer. They sit beautifully between an elopement and a traditional wedding — still big on style, emotion, and celebration, but without the overwhelming logistics or financial pressure.
At Faithwood, we host weddings that feel pared back in all the right ways: no reception venue minimums, no extended speeches, no family politics. Just a stunning chapel, two people in love, and the kind of poetic energy that gives you goosebumps.
Why South Australian Couples Are Saying “Yes” to Small
The cost of living is rising. Housing feels increasingly out of reach. And yet, love endures — and deserves to be celebrated.
That’s why more couples in Adelaide are choosing micro weddings:
Affordability without sacrifice – Our packages start at $2849 and still include a celebrant, styling, and ceremony support.
Beauty in every detail – Think polished concrete floors, champagne towers, flower-strewn aisles, and portraits at golden hour.
Privacy and peace of mind – No back-to-back weddings or public halls. You’ll have our full attention and your own two-hour window.
Flexibility – Book a weekday or a Saturday. Go glam or keep it casual. Faithwood adapts to your style, not the other way around.
Designed for the Modern Couple
You’re not like everyone else — your wedding shouldn’t be either.
Whether you’re remarrying, eloping in secret, or simply not interested in a cookie-cutter event, Faithwood is designed for you. Our couples range from first-time romantics to bold, intentional second-chancers. What they share is a desire for something that feels true.
The Faithwood Micro Wedding Experience
Every Faithwood wedding is infused with ease. That means:
Trusted celebrants who lodge your paperwork and craft your ceremony with care
Optional all-inclusive photography (yes, with Polaroids)
Soft styling that feels editorial and elevated
A welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where all couples are safe to be themselves
From our most-loved ‘Til The Stars Grow Cold package — which includes an on-location portrait session and champagne service — to our beautifully simple Love Fool option, we’ve curated every package to be effortless and elegant.
A Smarter Way to Get Married
In 2025 and beyond, micro weddings aren’t just a trend — they’re the future of love.
They make space for what matters. They give couples back their time, energy, and budget. They honour love without requiring it to be performed.
At Faithwood Chapel, we believe that small weddings aren’t second-best — they’re sacred.
Say Yes to Small
Faithwood Chapel is accepting bookings for 2025 and 2026, with limited Saturday spots and flexible weekday options.
If you’re dreaming of a poetic, powerful, and perfectly-sized wedding in South Australia, let’s create something beautiful together.
