Intimate Elegance: Discover the Magic of Microweddings


Kristi and Tom knew they wanted an intimate gathering with their most cherished loved ones while still getting to enjoy the traditions of a larger wedding. They didn’t want having a smaller guest count to mean skipping out on the fun of cake cuttings, first dances, or stunning portraits. In a world where less is undeniably more, microweddings have emerged as the ultimate trend for couples seeking an intimately elegant celebration with their nearest and dearest.


Picture this: Exchanging heartfelt vows in the presence of your closest family and friends, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, majestic mountains, and awe-inspiring landscapes that leave you breathless. At Lake McDonald, you get to embrace the idyllic setting that epitomizes romance and togetherness.


A microwedding at Lake McDonald unravels a world of possibilities, ensuring that every cherished tradition of a larger wedding is joyfully captured on a smaller scale. From the emotional walk down the aisle to the cutting of the cake and the sentimental first dance, every moment can be exquisitely tailored to reflect your unique love story. With a microwedding, you have the luxury of savoring each precious moment and creating lasting memories with the people who hold a special place in your heart.





Simplicity & Unforgettable Moments: The Essence of a Microwedding

Embracing the essence of a microwedding, they were able to have their closest people right by their side, relishing in the intimacy of a gathering that they’d been dreaming of.
