a pop-up wedding registry experience
Marrickville, sydney.
we offer one service and one service only, and its
A GODDAMN GOOD TIME
here for a good time, not a long time.
Come forth all ye unfaithful, ye great unwashed masses and be wed in sydney’s first pop up wedding chapel.
come to our one day sunday service… at a gin distillery.
6 couples. 6 weddings. one every hour. one day only.
You want a memorable, beautiful, meaningful wedding - but without the expense and the hassle and the invite list politics.
let us craft it for you.
pICTURE THIS: YOU AND YOUR PARTNER, ALONG WITH YOUR CHOSEN DISCIPLES, STROLL INTO MARRICKVILLE’S UNEXPECTED GUEST DISTILLERY. IT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL WEDDING VENUE – IT'S A HOLY GRAIL OF LOVE AND LIBATIONS.
THEN WHAM BAM, YOU GET HITCHED. REGISTRY STYLE. WE SAY SOME WORDS, YOU CAN SAY SOME EXTRA WORDS IF YOU WANT, YOU SIGN SOME STUFF. AND YOU’RE MARRIED. IT'S AS EASY AS TURNING WATER INTO WINE (OR GIN).
ALL THE WHILE, DANE AKA THE SALTY SHUTTER IS SNAPPING AWAY CAPTURING EVERY WINK, EVERY SMOOCH, AND EVERY SHOT. AND THEN? GIN! 10 SHOTS OF THE FINEST GIN. SHARE 'EM, SAVOUR 'EM, OR SAVE 'EM – IT'S YOUR CALL! ONLY BRINGING THE TWO OF YOU? GOOD FOR YOU, ENJOY.
YOU HANG OUT, PLAY WHATEVER TUNES YOU WANT. THROW BACK SOME COCKTAILS AND ONCE THE HOUR IS UP, THE CELEBRATION DOESN’T HAVE TO END AT THE CHAPEL DOOR, HEAD OUT INTO MARRICKVILLE FOR A FIRST SUPPER, OR HEAD HOME FOR A DECIDEDLY NON-IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
how does it work?
we’ll get you hitched, papped and sauced. What you do next is completely up to you.
