Micro Weddings Are Having Their Moment. Why Not Have Yours at The Rooftop at Hotel Goodwin, the Perfect Place to Say “I Do”

Weddings are getting smaller, but the meaning behind them has never felt bigger.

Over the past few years, couples have started rethinking the traditional wedding playbook. The result? A shift toward more intentional, intimate and highly personalized celebrations. Enter the micro wedding, a trend that’s here to stay.

You may be wondering, what exactly is a micro wedding? It’s a scaled-down version of a traditional wedding, typically with 50 guests or fewer. But do not let the guest count fool you, as these smaller events often bring more to the table: more time to connect with loved ones, more freedom to focus on the details that matter and more opportunity to make the day feel authentically yours.

At Hotel Goodwin, we see micro weddings as a bold, beautiful way to celebrate love, and The Rooftop is the kind of venue that brings that vision to life.

Intimate Setting, Big Impact

The Rooftop at Hotel Goodwin offers a modern, boutique atmosphere with a dash of downtown edge. With space for up to 50 guests, it’s designed for couples who want to keep things intimate but still celebrate in serious style.

The venue features indoor and outdoor flexibility, from a golden hour ceremony under the sky to a candlelit dinner with skyline views. Prefer a laid-back cocktail reception or a refined multi-course dinner? Whatever your vision, we’ll bring it to life.

Why Micro Weddings Work

Couples are embracing micro weddings not just because they’re practical, but because they’re personal. With a smaller guest list, every moment feels more meaningful. You're not racing from table to table and having no time to just enjoy the day. You’re actually with the people you love most.

Going micro also gives couples more flexibility in their budget. That often means upgraded food and drink, elevated décor or even a longer honeymoon. Less guests, more experience. Truly a win-win.

Boutique Stays & Unforgettable Moments

Hosting your wedding at Hotel Goodwin means more than just securing a venue. It’s booking a full weekend experience for you and your guests. With stylish rooms, walkable downtown charm and dining at Velvet Buffalo Modern Italian just downstairs, your entire celebration happens in one beautiful, unforgettable place.

So, if you're newly engaged and dreaming of a wedding that feels like you — not a production — consider going micro. Celebrate boldly, intimately and on your terms.

We’re here for it, and we’d love to be part of it.
