The Pop-Up Chapel Co. is not your typical wedding venue – it’s a revolutionary concept that pairs pop-up chapels with charities and top-notch vendors to create a distinctive wedding experience. Since launching, they have married over 400 couples and raised over $100,000 for various causes.
For couples like Tami and Dushane, the appeal was in the simplicity and uniqueness of the experience. The Pop-Up Chapel Co. takes care of every detail, from venue and décor to officiant, photography, flowers, music and refreshments for up to 30 guests. It’s a hassle-free way to create a memorable day while giving back to the community.
Describing their wedding theme as “elegant and full of bling,” Tami and Dushane aimed to create an atmosphere that simply reflected their desire to become one big happy family.
“We saved so much money on the venue due to using The Pop-Up Chapel”, the bride told us. “It was such a great experience; all we had to do was show up in what we wanted to wear and everything else was taken care of. We were able to have access to an extravagant venue that we would not normally be able to afford.”

A Private Hiking Wedding: Jordan & Michael

September 8, 2012
Jordan & Michael wanted a wedding that truely reflected them and the things they love, so they grabbed their children and were married in private on top of a mountain in Canada. "Our inspiration was definitely nature and our love of hiking", explained the bride. "We chose Gros Morne National Park in the beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador known for its mountainous terrain and unbelievable views. This in our minds made the perfect backdrop for our quiet intimate ceremony. We knew that hiking boots were a must so why not include them on our special day? We kept our attire simple and clean and focused on more important details like the photography and the food!"

An Anti-Princess, Nerdy & Eco-Friendly Wedding: Josh & Jaclyn
Kat
August 31, 2011
Josh & Jaclyn were legally married on July 13th but had their reception on the 16th at Smith & Wilson Winery in Cedar Springs, Ontario. "We decided to have the reception and the ceremony were on separate dates," Jaclyn told me. "On the Wednesday before the Saturday reception Josh, I, our parents and two close friends went to city hall for a justice of the peace ceremony. It was really relaxed - we didn’t even dress up in our fancy wedding attire. I wanted this because wedding ceremonies always bore me to tears and didn’t want to put our guests through that. It is also a good thing because I got a case of the giggles so bad that tears streamed down my face and we had to pause so I could catch my breath. That would have been so horrible in front of 100+ people!"

Emily and Glenn were married at the bride's childhood home. She wore her grandmother's wedding dress and they wanted to make sure everything they did minimised waste. "Our wedding inspiration was to use second-hand, borrowed, vintage and thrift store finds", Emily explained, "We really focused on re-purposing things for the day. This meant incorporating vintage furniture as seating and using items my father had collected over the last 30 years as décor. Everything was DIY but since we did not want to buy anything new we stayed away from crafting and mostly decorated with old lanterns and vintage furniture. We also borrowed a lot of stuff from friends and family so that we didn't have to buy brand new things."
