Ontario’s Pop-Up Weddings Let You Have An All-Inclusive Celebration For Under $4K

Your perfect day without the stressful planning.💒

Staff Writer

Wedding planning can be both stressful and expensive in the best of times. Even with restrictions lightening in Ontario, the effects from the pandemic are something that needs to be considered as an Ontario couple planning your special day. It can feel overwhelming before you know it.

Pop-Up Chapel creates shared, all-inclusive weddings so you can enjoy stress-free wedding planning and not break the bank on those many vendor costs. They think of themselves as the Uber or Airbnb of weddings, which allows your mind to wander to a wonderful situation where you just show up, ready to say 'I do'.

Your dream day can be arranged in a few easy steps. Say goodbye to hours of searching for wedding vendors, getting quotes and sending deposits. Once you're engaged, you select your date and time slot from a list of availabilities in your city, invite up to 20 guests to join you and your fiance, get your marriage license ready and show up ready to get married!

There are set pop-up wedding dates in Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton, Ontario, as well as in Montreal, Quebec and Vancouver, British Columbia. Each wedding package includes a one-hour time period of ceremony and reception, the venue location, flowers and decor, a licensed officiant, a photographer and set portrait session, live music, some light eats, and a charitable donation of at least $300.

There are ways to customize your wedding experience where you can add time, guests or a cake, for an additional fee. They can typically marry up to ten couples per day with the first at 11 a.m. The company is with you the whole way, answering questions beforehand and being on-site the day of. If you want a simple and smaller wedding but City Hall isn't your vibe, a pop-up wedding could be just what you need to tie the knot.
