Trending: Micro Weddings
Micro weddings are the chic solution for modern-day couples who don’t want the stress of 100-person plus affairs. They’re unique, intimate and often hosted at some of the city’s coolest venues.
Small-scale is the wedding trend du jour – and with good reason. The popularity of the micro wedding took off during COVID, but the benefits have outweighed, and the trend has stuck around.
Post-COVID, micro wedding guest numbers sit at around 40–50, and venues are catching on, with boutique hotels like Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets offering cool city vibes for an intimate wedding with extra edge.
Location, location
For an intimate wedding to hit the high notes the location is key. Above Hotel Indigo’s exposed-brick Italian restaurant is the Mezzanine, the perfect blank canvas to create your micro wedding.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, a sweeping staircase and a grand archway that reaches the ground floor are stand-out features. The space can host cosy cocktail nuptials, intimate sit-down ceremonies or private reception parties.
If city views are your thing, The Merrymaker Rooftop Bar is Adelaide’s highest rooftop bar. Expect sky-high service and views that stretch over Adelaide’s cityscape. The venue’s vibrant fit-out is also primed for a party, with fun pastel shades, fairy lights and cosy seating.
Taste our neighbourhood
A smaller guest list means your reception can be whatever you want it to be – from cocktails and canapes to an intimate sit-down dinner.
Hotel Indigo’s Mezzanine and Merrymaker Rooftop Bar can both host cocktail receptions (say yes to plates of Coorong mullet escabeche with sourdough, jalapeno poppers and mini porchetta roll sliders), or you and your guests can indulge in modern Italian fare at the Mezzanine.
Drawing from the hotel’s Market & Meander menu, courses include overnight braised beef cheeks and shaved Parmigiano, flame-grilled spatchcock and locally sourced market fish.
The perfect ending
A diluted guest list not only offers the chance for you to celebrate with those closest to you, but, with 145 rooms to choose from, at Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets it also means you can all stay at the same location – and continue the celebrations into the next day!
The bride and groom can retreat to the Deluxe Bedroom Suite or the Indigo Balcony Suite – both rooms have exceptional city views, a spacious living room, a King bed and a balcony, while the Indigo Suite also comes with a bath.
Need a space to get ready the morning of? Book out the Indigo Executive Apartment, a three-bedroom suite (with separate ensuites!) for your bridal party and family to hang out before the big day.
