Tina last Saturday at Katie and Chris’s wedding location,
wireless mic in hand, ready for action.

As we were driving to our wedding location where Katie and Chris were going to exchange vows and host a small almost Pop Up style wedding event in her parents yard, I turn to Tina and ask: “You enjoy officiating these weddings, don’t you?”

She replied “Yes, I do. I really do. It’s kinda cool.”

See, this is her first year, first summer as a wedding officiant. And she’s kinda good at it. I have to admit too she’s very, very organized and plans things to a T. That’s always been her super powers.

As we were driving, she’s still rehearsing the vows over again. She wants to make sure things go well.

It’s her style. She wants to do a good job and it shows.

Our new Pop Up wedding arch is ready…

by 1 Comment

What happens when your brother in law is skilled in all things carpentry. And you need a custom made wedding arch for your pop up weddings.

This…..

It’s almost eight feet tall. Comes a part for easy travel. This is key, since we’ll be bringing it to our pop up wedding events.

Imagine this creatively designed arch tucked in among a strand of trees, on grass, surrounded by white covered chairs and accented with coral wraps?

And we can bring it to any event. It’s modern, with a mix of vintage and elegance.

We’re excited. Thanks Dan!

Back yard weddings are popular…

Back yard weddings are popular these days.

Of course it’s amazing when the weather is perfect. However, having a ‘back up plan’ in the event of rain is important, whether it’s a pop up wedding or larger wedding with many in attendance.

To elope or not to elope? That is the question…

by Leave a Comment

We had another inquiry yesterday from a couple who are interested in eloping. This Sudbury couple googled the terms: Sudbury elopement and we showed up.

I wrote about eloping yesterday.

Here’s the dictionary definition of eloping:

Elope

verb

run away secretly in order to get married, especially without parental consent.

This explains in many ways why eloping and a pop-up wedding are so very different. A pop up wedding, well, everyone knows they’re getting married. It’s not a ‘secret’.

And, even though it’s a much smaller crowd -closest friends and relatives- it breaks away from the long standing tradition of a large wedding- with all its hassles, pageantry and expense.

One of the biggest challenges that comes up, and often resolved, is how do you only invite your closest friends and relatives?

Isn’t it bad manners to exclude?

Actually, no. It’s not. This is a fear which is made up in our imaginations. Most are supportive and happy for the couple as they start their lives together.

That, plus, it solves the bigger problems and challenges that goes along with “who do you invite?” and “how do I keep it small?”

Simple. Have a pop up wedding. No need to elope is there?

PopUp Weddings….not just an ‘elopement’

by Leave a Comment

I’ve said this before, how when I mention the term ‘pop up wedding’, most of the time the reply is: “What’s a pop up wedding?”

I don’t blame them. We had no idea what they were either at one time. Many times one of the  comments we hear is, after we describe it best we can: “Oh, it’s like eloping.”

Well, sort of. But not really. An elopement means the couple gets married without telling anyone. They show up: “Guess what? We got married!”

A pop up wedding is different in that it’s very much the same as a larger wedding, with all the pageantry and fanfare. Except, smaller. Much smaller.

And often at some cool, odd, unusual location. Court house weddings, Las Vegas Elvis or drive through weddings are a thing of the past.

A pop up wedding allows you to do  it your way. Sure, you can elope and have a pop up wedding. Just the two of you and two of your closest friends. (All weddings need two witnesses to make it legal). Or, invite up to 40 of your closest friends and relatives.

The beauty of a pop up wedding is you have the room, the flexibility to make it your own. And we’re here to help. It’s what we do.

Pop Up wedding location ideas….Blind River visit…

by Leave a Comment

I was in Blind River recently and couldn’t help but notice what I would consider cool spots to host a pop up wedding. This location, right beside the RiverSide, seems perfect. That’s the river in the background.

Of course, the weather would need to cooperate, but a solid back up plan in the event of rain, is essential.
