Frequently Asked Questions: Pop Up Weddings

We have 3 different packages to hopefully suit everyone’s needs.  You can check out our packages and what they include here.

You’ll need to secure your marriage license before the big day.  They are available from any Municipal Office in Ontario.  You can get your license anytime up to a month before your wedding date.  Your officiant will walk you through the process when they speak with you to personalize your ceremony.

This is why you have us on your team!  We make sure that all our Outdoor Pop Ups ALWAYS have a back up plan at the same location.

Of course!  You can upgrade your package anytime up to a month before the wedding date.  Our most popular package is the PLUS package.  We’ve jam packed it with a ton of value.

You can definitely have a wedding party!  We can help walk you through getting them organized and anything you need to know.  We’ll make sure there’s enough room at the front for them to stand with you.  On average, about half our couples have wedding parties.  Coordinating bridesmaid bouquets and groomsmen boutonnieres are available to add to your package.

Before your wedding, you’ll complete an in depth questionnaire so we have all the information we need.  That includes any dietary restrictions and allergies for you and your guests.  We’ll work with our catering team to tailor your hors d’oeuvres accordingly.

In most cases YES!  Our packages include 20 people including the wedding couple.  We like to keep the spaces and your experience intimate but you can increase to additional guests.  If you’re curious we can direct you to the dates and venues that would best fit larger number of guests.  The number of additional guests that each venue can accommodate will be located on the individual page.  Additional guests are $50 per person + HST except for Winery dates.  Additional guests for our Winery locations are $75 per person + HST.

Yes you can.  We can work it into your schedule but it might mean having less family photos or mingling time.  We try not to ever sacrifice your couples session photo time.

Once you confirm your wedding we’ll send you a detailed questionnaire to get your ceremony music, bridal party information, family photo list and any allergies/dietary restrictions for your guests.

After you book, we’ll provide you with a unique and personalized guide to your Pop Up Wedding, packed with information about your Pop Up location and where to host dinners/receptions/brunches close by.

Our evening couples often have the option (depending on the pop up location) to continue the party in the Pop Up space.

Those arrangements would be negotiated separately between the couple and venue.

YES!  We love pets!  Most of our Pop Up locations are pet friendly.  If you’re interested in incorporating your pet, let us know and we can direct you to the dates and locations that would best work for your pets.

We do not allow additional professional photographers in our Pop Up space to ensure that our photographer is able to work and quickly move around the intimate space.  If you’d like to video your ceremony, we can coordinate with your videographer to place them in a location that is out of the way but still able to capture it.  Because of the intimate nature of the space, some of our couples choose to film the ceremony with an iphone/recording device on a tripod which we can help them strategically place.

No.  We do not supply RAW digital files.  You will be supplied a collection (based on your package selection) of edited digital files in a mix of true to colour and black and white as displayed on our website, instagram etc.  These images are an accurate representation of the editing style that you’ll receive.  If you choose the Standard package, once the images are ready to view (approx 4-6 weeks) we’ll do a virtual viewing with you so you can choose your favourite 20 images to receive.  There are options as well to purchase additional images if you can’t get down to the amount included in your package.

When you book, you’ll receive a guide with our recommendations for hair and makeup artists in your area that you can contact to get additional information as well as bridesmaid dress and tux rental as well as consignment gown shops that we love!
