The pandemic has led many couples to change their wedding plans.
Here’s what Zoom weddings are like, and how they may change the wedding industry forever.
Then the entire world comes to a halt, putting all plansincluding yourson hold.
One such planner is Wedfuly founderCaroline Creidenberg,who pivoted her entire business to meet this unforeseen need.
Before us, most people were just doing the ceremony.
Now, people are doing everything from ceremony to first dance to cake cutting, etc.
…
We started pitching it to our couples and it just really spread, she says.

First, know that a Zoom wedding isnt your average board meeting.
(The couple tapped Creidenberg, who was not their original planner, specifically for her Zoom prowess.)
Considering we werent in person, it was surprisingly emotional, and I cried multiple times, Zayas says.
Guests, she says, dressed up and sent the couple selfies for their wedding album.
Some were seen dancing on screen at the reception.
But they got to be on Zoom and see it happen.

There was more time and less coordination needed, so more people were able to speak, she says.

Most importantly, though, both brides were happy.
She looked so happyeven through video you could see that her giant smile never left her face.
Will Zoom weddings break the wedding industrial complex?
How safe will travel be?
Will there be more lockdowns in the fall?
But maybe theres a silver lining to that.
In 2019,the average wedding cost $33,900, according to data from The Knot.
By hosting a virtual wedding, youre almost certain to save money on venue, catering, and beyond.
These are small, semi-private ceremonies, either followed by a separate, larger party or not.
And then we get to do it again in October, and have two anniversaries to celebrate forever.
