STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

The stuff everyone asks

We understand lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Is this a real wedding?

Yes. You’ll have a licensed officiant, say your vows, sign your marriage license, and walk away married. It’s a real wedding — just without the extra layers of planning and stress.

Are ceremonies shared with other couples?

Nope. Each couple has their own private ceremony time.

You’re not sharing vows, guests, or moments — just the beautifully styled space.

How many guests can we bring?

Pop-Up Weddings are intentionally small. Guest count is capped at 20 people total, including you. This keeps the day calm, personal, and easy for everyone.

Can we customize things?

A little — but not everything.

The ceremony setup and overall design stay consistent throughout the day. This is what allows the experience to stay smooth, beautiful, and affordable.

You can personalize:

-Your ceremony wording

-What you wear (dressy, casual, somewhere in between — all welcome)

-Who you invite

-Optional add-ons, depending on availability

If you’re looking to customize every detail, an elopement may be a better fit.

What's included, exactly?

Everything you need for a meaningful wedding day:

A licensed officiant

A styled ceremony space

Florals

Music

Photography

A champagne toast

Someone keeping the day running smoothly

No vendor juggling. No spreadsheets. No guessing.

Will it feel rushed?

Not at all. Ceremony times are intentionally spaced so each couple has room to breathe, enjoy the moment, and take portraits without feeling hurried.

The structure is what removes the stress — not what creates it.

What if it rains?

We always have a rain plan.

If weather is questionable, we’ll communicate clearly ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect.

Can we bring kids?

Yes — as long as they’re included in your guest count and comfortable in a short ceremony setting.

Do we need to plan anything?

Very little.

Once you book, we’ll walk you through the few simple decisions needed (ceremony wording, timing, logistics). Everything else is handled for you.

How does payment work?

A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your ceremony time. The remaining balance is due prior to the event. Full details are outlined in your contract.

What if we want something more private or flexible?

Totally fair.

If you’d prefer your own date, your own timeline, or more customization, take a look at our elopement experiences. Same aesthetic, same care — just a different format.

Still have questions? Reach out — we’re happy to talk it through and help you figure out what feels right.

Is a Pop-Up Wedding right for us?

Pop-Up Weddings are a great fit if you:

  • Want something beautiful but simple

  • Don’t want months of planning

  • Are comfortable with a set date, location, and ceremony time

  • Care more about the moment than the production

If you’re reading this and thinking,

“Yes. This sounds like exactly what we want,”

you’re in the right place.

They're probably not the best fit if you:

  • Want extended portrait time

  • Are hoping to photograph in multiple locations

  • Want full control over every detail of the day

  • Prefer a more open, flexible timeline

    If that second list feels more like you, an elopement will likely be a better fit — and we’re happy to help you explore that option.

Not sure a Pop-Up Wedding is your thing?

Pop-Up Weddings aren’t for everyone — and that’s kind of the point.

An elopement might be the better choice if you:

-Want your own date and timeline

-Prefer something more private

-Want more flexibility with location or flow

-Are planning something just for the two of you (or a very small group)

Same care. Same beautiful aesthetic.

Just a different pace.
