“Imagine if you could just show up to your own wedding. What would that look like?”

That’s the question that Ramneek Purewal and Lisa Zhu asked themselves when they were dreaming up their recently launched business, Evented (evented.ca).

Evented offers “pop-up” elopement and wedding services for couples who want a sense of occasion and ceremony to their nuptials — but who don’t want to labour for months over elaborate and expensive blow-outs.

“We asked ourselves what was wrong in the wedding world,” says Purewal. “Obviously, it’s time-consuming and stressful.”

To alleviate that stress, Purewal and Zhu offer a variety of efficient and (mostly) intimate packages which can be customized to a couple’s taste. The Skywalk Social package, for example, gets you a wedding at the Telus World of Science with up to 20 guests for $5,240. (Most venues can accommodate more guests — some up to 200.)

Purewal and Zhu plan and co-ordinate the whole affair with their preferred vendors, with a view to alleviating the bride and groom’s wedding-related anxiety.
