What exactly is included in Be Married pop-up weddings?

Most of our pop-ups include; 

• Day-of coordination + timeline // One Lead Coordinator and One Assistant

• Event concept, color palette, & styling of any decorated items

• 2.5 hours of Venue Access (includes your arrival, ceremony, photo time, any formalities, mingling, and send-off/departure.)

• 2.5 hours of Photo Coverage // Two Photographers included

• Ceremony design/styling + Florals (Ceremony florals plus personal florals for you and your partner, i.e., boutonniere(s)/bouquet(s)

• Post-ceremony cocktail hour at the same location as the ceremony (food, beverages, alcohol not included)

• DJ/Sound services or Live Musician (they will handle your ceremony music and music to play music throughout the event, as well as make any important announcements that may be needed)

Do you provide an officiant?

No, we do not include an Officiant in our packages. However, if you need a referral for an Officiant, we have some great contacts for you. No matter what, we ensure that whoever your Officiant is, they have the necessary information for the big day. Most couples choose to have a family member or a friend of the family get ordained and be their Officiant. Others have a pastor or someone they have hired. Whatever the case may be, we are happy to work with whoever you have selected to officiate your ceremony.

Are there any ways we can customize our selected package?

Most of our pop-up events offer several ways to upgrade or customize your package. We work with our included and trusted external vendors to put together a list of personal touches you can add to your package. We will discuss that list further during our consultation.

Can we pick the color palette?

Yes! We now allow our couples to choose from pre-designed color palettes and concepts for their pre-selected dates. Of course, our team is happy to select colors/concepts for couples who want to be hands-off on that element and trust their vendor team’s creative process.

We can accommodate color palettes or design requests for couples considering a “Pick Your Own Date,” custom, or destination pop-ups. You can also trust our team’s creative process to design something especially for you!

Is there a designated time for a rehearsal?

We do not currently offer or include any ceremony rehearsal time. We have found that it isn’t quite necessary for what we offer. For each pop-up, we have a day-of coordinator who will give you clear directions on what to do for the ceremony, when to walk down the aisle, etc. We are there right by your side each step of the way, and you don’t have to worry about a thing ;)

Are there any beverages included in my pop-up?

We provide water for guests (bottled water or self-serve water stations at this time). You can bring Non-Alcoholic beverages with notice and permission from the Venue. Most couples opt to upgrade their package with Bar/Alcoholic Beverage Service for their post-ceremony cocktail hour. The Venues we usually work with/at allow for alcoholic beverage packages to be customized and purchased additionally.

What if we want a cake or other food during the post-ceremony cocktail hour?

You can upgrade your package to include cake, desserts, or light bites through our recommended vendors. We can help you with ordering and ensure you have everything you need. We will also work with any add-on vendors to communicate necessary details, logistics, etc. Additional costs will be incurred for any upgrade services or additional vendors.

A full sit-down meal/dinner on-site would not be able to be accommodated without approval or adding on time to your package. Almost all of our clients make reservations for their group elsewhere following their ceremony & cocktail hour. Our coordination team will happily help you with timing out any post-pop-up wedding festivities if needed, provide insight into transport for guests, etc.

Is there any music or a DJ?

Yes! We work with a DJ, sound Service company, or Live Musician to ensure that your music and sound needs are well taken care of. You can choose your ceremony processional, recessional, or any other memorable songs. We collect these selections in a questionnaire we provide during the planning process.

Can we show up early to get ready?

Due to the nature of pop-up weddings, which are very scheduled and rely heavily on all participants following that schedule, we prefer that you show up ready for your pop-up wedding.

Some of our venue partners do have “Getting Ready” spaces at their venues that can be added on/booked with your package.

Are we able to have speeches or a toast?

If you are interested in potentially having a friend or family member give a short speech, we can discuss adding that to your timeline and what that would require further. Generally, most “traditional” wedding formalities are kept to a minimum due to the shortened timeframe of a pop-up wedding.

How many guests can we invite?

The maximum guest count we have at this time for a package is no more than 40 guests (not including you and your partner).

What if we want it to be just the two of us (no guests)?

We are totally up for that! For couples who want a true elopement-style wedding without guests or only a witness or two, we can create customized packages to accommodate. Planning a beautiful elopement can still be plenty of work! We would be honored to assist you with creating a memorable space and day to elope.

Costs will likely decrease in these cases since true elopement since elopements generally require less labor, time on-site, resources, etc. Costs will be reviewed during a consultation.

Can we have a wedding party?

We currently only allow our couples to incorporate two special guests/people into their ceremony. That is not to say you can’t have others dress the part and get photos together!

Who are the vendors that you partner with?

We partner with some of the best local creatives to help produce an incredible day and experience for our couples. These are vendors we trust and who share our vision of bringing this opportunity to celebrate love stories in an affordable, stylish, and fun way! We have also selected vendors that actively advocate and accept couples from all walks of life, especially couples in the LGBTQIA+ communities. No matter who you are, what you look like, or who you love — you’re safe here with us and our vendor partners.

Can I change any of the vendors?

The vendors we select for each pop-up are chosen for a reason. We build our vendor teams based on creative style/aesthetic, availability, and experience. While we understand that the concepts or visions we provide may not be for everyone, we do not allow vendors included in a package to be changed. If you have concerns about any vendor partners, please reach out!

Can I hire my vendors for services not included in a package?

You are welcome to hire your own vendors, such as a videographer, hair/make-up stylist, Officiant, etc. We just ask that you keep us informed on who you hire. We provide a list of recommended + trusted vendors for “outside” services that are familiar with our processes.

I am a vendor - how can I get involved?

We are not currently accepting any new vendor partners for our Pre-Selected Date options. However, you are welcome to email us at hello@justbemarried.com to introduce yourself or connect with us further if you’d like!
