Why We Updated Our Wedding Packages (and What It Means for You)
The wedding industry has changed.
So have couples.
And honestly, so have we.
Over the last year, we have had hundreds of conversations with couples who wanted something meaningful, beautiful, and well organized without the overwhelm, endless logistics, or pressure to do things a certain way.
So we listened.
We refined.
And we rebuilt our packages with intention.
Here is why we made changes to our Pop-Up Chapel Co. offerings and how these updates make planning easier, clearer, and more aligned with how people actually want to get married today.
We Saw a Shift in How Couples Want to Get Married

More and more couples told us the same things:
We do not need a full day wedding, but we want it to feel special
We want beautiful photos and a great experience without coordinating ten vendors
We want flexibility without decision fatigue
Traditional wedding structures were not meeting those needs. Even micro weddings often came with hidden complexity or unexpected add ons.
Our response was not to add more options.
It was to simplify, clarify, and elevate.
What Changed at a High Level
We did not reinvent what makes Pop-Up Chapel Co. special.
We refined it.
Our updated packages are now designed to:
Be clearer from the start including what is included, what is optional, and what is possible
Better match real guest counts and celebration styles
Reduce back and forth decision making
Make booking faster and more confident
Support both intimate ceremonies and more social celebrations
Every package has been revisited. Every detail rethought.
A More Intentional Package Lineup
The Mini
Sweet, simple, and thoughtfully done.
The Mini is now a one hour experience designed for the ceremony, portraits, and a celebratory toast, with space for up to ten guests alongside the couple.
This update creates a more intentional alternative to City Hall, allowing couples to include a small group of loved ones while keeping the experience simple, intimate, and beautifully done.
The Classic Chapel
Our original, reimagined.
This is the heart of Pop-Up Chapel Co. The Classic now offers a two hour experience that brings together ceremony, celebration, and time for connection.
This update allows the experience to unfold at a more relaxed pace, with room for a toast, portraits, and meaningful time with guests, rather than feeling compressed or rushed.
The Party Spot
For couples who want to keep the celebration going.
The Party Spot was designed for couples who want the celebration to keep going.
This experience now includes thirty guests with room to add more, and an extended three hour timeline that supports a more social, late night celebration. It gives couples the ability to host, mingle, and enjoy the energy of the evening without watching the clock.
Custom Experiences
For couples who want something more tailored, with guidance built in.
Not every wedding fits neatly into a preset package. Some couples want more flexibility around timing, flow, guest experience, or venue while still having a clear structure and support from our team.
That is where our Custom Experiences come in.
This category includes options like The Social, The Signature, and The Takeaway, each designed for couples who want a more personalized celebration without starting from scratch.
The Social is ideal for couples who want a ceremony paired with a cocktail style celebration and time to connect with guests.
The Signature offers a more curated experience with expanded design elements and a more immersive flow.
The Takeaway brings everything we do best to a venue you already love, whether that is a backyard, private space, or meaningful location.
These experiences allow us to shape the celebration around you while still keeping the process clear, supported, and thoughtfully designed.
Why We Did Not Just Add More Options
We could have added endless upgrades, tiers, and custom paths.
Instead, we focused on better defaults and clearer starting points.
Our goal was to create packages and experiences that feel flexible without being overwhelming, and supportive without being restrictive. Each option is designed to stand confidently on its own, while still allowing room for personalization where it matters most.
Optional add ons still exist, but they are meant to enhance the experience rather than complicate the planning process.
What This Means for Couples Booking Now
If you are planning a wedding in 2025 or 2026, these updates mean:
A smoother booking experience
Clearer expectations from the start
Fewer decisions upfront
More confidence in what you are choosing
A celebration that feels intentional, not rushed or overbuilt
You can choose a package knowing it was designed around real couples, real timelines, and real celebrations, not assumptions or traditions that no longer fit.
You do not need to plan a wedding the traditional way to have a meaningful one.
And you do not need to do more to make it count.
The Big Picture
The Pop-Up Chapel Co. has always been about doing weddings differently.
These updates are simply the next evolution of that promise. They reflect what we have learned, what our couples have asked for, and how we believe modern weddings should feel.
We are here to make getting married feel exciting again.
Not overwhelming.
Not performative.
Just really, really good.
