I'm quite sure there is an English expression for "im engsten Familienkreis" ...
--> "Sie heiratete in Wien im engsten Familienkreis."
Thanks a million!

: Most of the suggestions are fine, but I like this one best just because I think it's the most common way people express the idea of a small family-only wedding in English.

only immediate family were present...
You have to rephrase a bit in English - only immediate family members were present at (invited to) the wedding.
Depending on context and/or register, you might also say that the event was limited to immediate family only.
And Collins says:
Familienkreis family circle;
die Trauung fand im engsten Familienkreis statt only the immediate family were present at the wedding

in a small family wedding
This is the more literal translation, as confirmed by the references below. However, I kind of like Norbert's suggestion better, even though it doesn't specifically mention "family".
