Micro Party? What's a Micro Party? A Micro Party is the newest way people are celebrating life’s milestones while adapting to this "new normal". Scroll through for the latest info about micro parties and all the ways Chez can help you host your own!


Micro Party Definition

A Micro Party is a party that is attended by up to 25 people to promote social distancing. They can be held in your backyard, open parks, and other open areas. If you're looking to take your micro party to the next level, Chez welcomes you to host your special day in our beautiful garden area or one our banquet rooms. We have also dedicated the Warner Room for intimate spaces for COVID events.


Have you ever heard the phrase "small but mighty"?

Well don't underestimate the power of a micro party!


Dates to Celebrate

Summer is finally here, and that means the party season is too and there is a way to celebrate! You can use a micro party to celebrate graduation, bridal or baby showers, or just a backyard BBQ or family gathering in general!


Micro Weddings

Micro weddings are becoming especially popular. Many brides and grooms have selected their wedding dates for sentimental reasons or family reasons where putting off the ceremony is just not an option. Putting on a micro wedding is a great alternative or as a mini version of the big day! It includes having a mini-mony (mini ceremony) , small reception and the mini- moon (honey moon). The beautiful outdoor garden at Chez Josef is a perfect place for an intimate wedding ceremony. After swapping I do’s , couples can have a reception with close family and friends in either a backyard, open park or other outdoor venue.



More Celebrations

This is the trend with all types of parties though! Micro parties aren't just for weddings. You can

still have that special day planned for a special event or you can still spoil your loved ones with a fun birthday, graduation party, bridal shower or baby shower.
