WHAT IS A POPUP WEDDING?
Currently Serving Dayton, OH
A popup wedding is an intimate 90-minute wedding planned from start to finish by Gem City Popup Co. We plan a singular event, in which up to 3 couples can get married on one day with all the flair of an artfully planned wedding, at a fraction of the price. We hit all the beats of a standard full-size wedding while saving you the stress, time, and money involved in planning a full-scale event.
We currently offer 3-4 Popup events per year, with each event offering spots for 3 couples.
We choose the date, the theme, the decor, and the vendors, you answer a few questions, pick out what to wear and who to invite, show up with 20-30 of your most loved ones, and get married!
You get:
Professional Officiant who will help you customize your vows and write a personal ceremony
High-impact floral decor, boutonniere, and bouquet
Couples’ Wedding Cake & treats for your guests
Professional photographer to capture every meaningful moment
Unique and artfully designed decor and venue

We do not currently offer services for custom popups outside of our pre-planned events. Events are currently planned 6-12 months in advance.
This style of wedding is ideal for: elopements, vow renewals, second marriages, and any couple that desires to keep their focus on their marriage and their loved ones while handing over full control to our creative team and trusting us to execute a meaningful and beautiful wedding.
Release the control of every detail to us and enjoy every second of your wedding day!
How It Works
