Micro weddings have become a popular choice for couples seeking a stress-free, intimate wedding celebration that focuses on what really matters: the love between two people. For those who dream of a scenic, peaceful setting to exchange vows with their closest loved ones, Letchworth State Park’s Glen Iris Inn offers an unforgettable venue. Here, couples can say “I do” surrounded by nature’s beauty, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of.
What is a Micro Wedding?
Micro weddings are all about intimacy. Unlike traditional large-scale weddings, a micro wedding involves a smaller guest list. This allows couples to create a personalized experience that focuses on the ceremony, meaningful moments and quality time with close family and friends. These smaller events often feel more relaxed, allowing couples to truly enjoy their wedding day without the stress of coordinating a big event.
Why Choose Letchworth State Park for Your Micro Wedding?
Sometimes called the “Grand Canyon of the East,” Letchworth is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. With stunning waterfalls, lush forests and scenic overlooks, the park’s Middle Falls Overlook makes the perfect backdrop for a small wedding celebration. Imagine exchanging vows with the rush of the waterfalls just yards away.
