Unleash Your Dream Wedding
Why Unique Wedding Planning?!
When we started planning our wedding, we thought finding vendors would be easy. After all, we're in the DMV area, close to Katsucon, Awesome Con, MAGFest. Surely someone understood couples like us?
But conversation after conversation revealed the same pattern:
Traditional wedding planners would nod politely when we mentioned our fandoms, then we found our own team of amazing vendors and planners who understood our vision. And was hype to start our wedding arc in support!
DIY-focused vendors assumed we just wanted to cosplay at our reception and call it a day, missing that we wanted a real wedding, with all the meaning, ritual, and beauty, that happened to celebrate who we actually are.
Seldom anybody asked us the geeky questions:
Which fandoms brought you together?
What moments from your favorite stories reflect your relationship?
How do you want your guests to feel when they step into your world?
We found ourselves constantly explaining our vision. We had to educate every vendor what is a “TARDIS”, Why our color palette of royal blue and silver represented us and Doctor Who, the show that became "our thing."
We realized there were more fillers than canon weddings for fandoms
Thousands of couples like us grew up on anime, gaming, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, gothic, and non-traditional were being told to shrink their joy down to fit someone else's definition of "appropriate."
“Celebrations are magical when you don't have to translate yourself”
