Let’s be honest — courthouse weddings aren’t for everyone. Maybe you're short on time. Maybe you just want something simple but still a little... special. Or maybe standing under flickering fluorescent lights in front of a clerk just doesn’t scream “romantic memory” to you.

Well, guess what? You can have a meaningful wedding ceremony that’s just as quick as a civil ceremony — but way more beautiful. Introducing: The Pop-Up “I Do”, a charming Vegas-style wedding experience (minus the Elvis) happening right in Monroe, NY.

Here’s what I think — if you're looking for an intimate and stress-free way to tie the knot, you’re going to love this.

Pop-Up “I Do” event — a fun, easy, and romantic alternative to a civil wedding ceremony.

What Is a Pop-Up Wedding Anyway?

Pop-up weddings are exactly what they sound like — short, sweet, pre-arranged wedding ceremonies that pop up at a designated time and place. No long planning process. No big crowd. Just love, vows, and a couple of happy people ready to make it official.

The best part? We’ve taken the magic of a traditional ceremony and blended it with the ease of a courthouse wedding. You show up dressed how you want (casual or classy — your call), say your vows in a beautifully styled setup, snap some photos, and head off into your newlywed life.

Seriously, it’s that simple.

Why Skip the Courthouse?

You won’t believe this, but many couples who plan to have a civil ceremony are surprised to find out how unceremonious it really is. While the clerk is there to make it legal, they’re not there to make it special.

With a pop-up wedding, you get:

  • A short but meaningful ceremony

  • A beautiful space for your photos

  • Just enough romance to make your heart skip a beat

Think of it as a courthouse wedding glow-up.
