what is a pop-up wedding?

A Pop-Up Wedding is an intimate, 2-hour wedding planned from start to finish by Hillary Rae Events!

We plan a one-day event in which there are 3 time slots for 3 couples to get married. All traditional aspects of a big wedding are thought of and trimmed down to fit in a 2-hour celebration at a fraction of the price. The best part? You don’t have any of the stresses of planning or trying to please everyone else.

We choose the date, the theme, the décor, and the vendors – and all you do is SHOW UP with up to 40 loved ones and your marriage license and GET MARRIED.

Investment: Starting at $4,000

February 22nd, 2025

ideal for:

Elopements, vow renewals, second marriages, or any couple that wants to keep the focus on their marriage rather than all the stress/planning/pleasing of everyone else.

Think courthouse wedding with all the formalities of a large ceremony and reception.

HOW IT WORKS:

• Choose an available event and pick a 10AM, 2pm, or 6pm time slot

• Fill out/sign the agreement and pay 50% non-refundable deposit to book your spot, with the remaining balance due 2 weeks before your wedding

• Pick out your outfits and get your marriage license from Champaign county.

• Show up, get married, and celebrate!

• What do you do next?!: You’re married! Have a backyard reception, go out to dinner, go on a honeymoon, or buy a house with all the money you saved!
