If you’re here you know that traditional weddings are incredibly expensive. But, they don’t have to be that way!

Weddings cost a goldmine, seriously, weddings today cost on average around $25,200 and many cost even more.  The venue, food, dress, cake, décor… we could keep going with all of the things that eat a hole in your bank account. Because of these crazy prices many couples have to put off getting married until they save up enough, some couples elope, or have to put off other important life goals (e.g. buying a house).

We also live in an era where our lives are exceptionally busy with many obligations and priorities, which makes it increasingly difficult to find the required time it takes to put together that dream wedding. Pop-up weddings bridge the gap between courthouse vows and traditional weddings.

However, there is a new option called pop-up weddings! These ceremonies are perfect for smart couples who don’t want to spend thousands of dollars, wait a year or more for a venue date, or have to decide between a wedding and a down payment on a house or that much-needed honeymoon. You don’t have to make a choice of ‘either’ ‘or’.

Pop-up weddings are about an hour long, and give you what is at the core of a wedding. This means that you get the beautiful location, the people you know and love, and beautiful pictures that will give you a lifetime of memories.

Pop-up weddings are the perfect option for couples who just don’t have the funds or the dedication that is needed to pull out all the stops for their wedding and reception. They are also ideal for couples with other priorities, such as travel, starting a business, having children, buying a house, or maybe paying off student loans. Pop-up weddings are succinct, intimate ceremonies that “pop up” in any place, such as a city park.

Everyone wants their wedding to be special and unique. You are making a lifetime commitment, after all. Pop-up weddings create beautiful scenes in unexpected places for you to say ‘I do’. If you and your future spouse want to get married but simply can’t afford it, or have other priorities, don’t think you have to wait to celebrate your love…just do it on a smaller scale.

-Happily,
