Chateau Hathorn Micro Wedding | Intimate Spring Wedding in Warwick NY

Nicole and Adam officially tied the knot with the sweetest micro wedding at Chateau Hathorn in Warwick, New York, and it was the perfect example of why intimate and small weddings in North NJ and NY continue to grow in popularity.

Chateau Hathorn is a charming and historic venue tucked into Warwick, NY. With its estate feel, lush grounds, and cozy elegance, it’s an ideal location for couples planning a micro wedding, intimate ceremony, or small wedding celebration in the New Jersey and New York area.

After years of building a beautiful life together—dating, raising Nicole’s two boys, welcoming their baby girl, purchasing a home, and creating a family—Nicole and Adam decided it was time to make things official. Instead of a large traditional wedding, they chose to plan a thoughtful and meaningful micro wedding that focused on connection, intention, and the people who matter most.

Intimate Spring Wedding in Warwick NY

Their spring ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, surrounded by their three children, close family, and friends. Every detail was carefully chosen to reflect who they are as a couple. From the beautiful spring florals to personalized favors of Corona (their favorite beer!) and custom cufflinks gifted from Nicole to Adam, their day felt relaxed, personal, and incredibly meaningful.

One of the most emotional moments was watching Nicole and Adam exchange vows in front of their children. Their ceremony was officiated by a close friend, which made the experience even more personal. There was laughter woven into their vows, joyful tears from guests, and more than a few emotional moments behind the camera. These are the moments that make intimate weddings and micro celebrations so powerful.

Why mini weddings, micro weddings, and small intimate celebrations?

Since 2020, there has been a noticeable shift toward mini weddings, micro weddings, and small intimate celebrations, and it’s a trend I truly hope is here to stay. Smaller weddings allow couples to slow down, be present, and truly enjoy their day without the pressure of a large guest list or packed timeline. I personally had a small wedding myself, and I know firsthand how meaningful and memorable these celebrations can be.

Nicole and Adam’s micro wedding at Chateau Hathorn is a perfect example of how you don’t need a big wedding to have a beautiful one. If you’re planning a small wedding in North NJ or NY, choosing an intimate venue and focusing on personal details can make your day feel just as elevated, emotional, and unforgettable.

Nicole and Adam, thank you so much for trusting me to capture such a special chapter for your family. Your wedding day was filled with love, laughter, and connection, and it was truly an honor to be there.

Ashley
