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.
Nope. Each couple has their own private ceremony time.
You’re not sharing vows, guests, or moments — just the beautifully styled space.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We always have a rain plan.
If weather is questionable, we’ll communicate clearly ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes — as long as they’re included in your guest count and comfortable in a short ceremony setting.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
