“Going to the chapel secular wedding venue and we’re gonna get married” doesn’t have quite the same charm as the regular lyrics to the well-worn Dixie Cups song. But no matter, Pop! Wed‘s new space has plenty of charm to spare.

Wedding gurus Steven Gaudaen and Maggie Winters Gaudaen specialize in funky, pop-up ceremonies, and have pulled them off in some of the city’s most iconic locations: the Natural History Museum, Union Station, even The Beach. Now, they’re putting down some roots at Northeast’s Off The Beaten Track Warehouse.

“We say we’re no more disruptive than your average tour group, but when you get to like 20 guests, it can become a public disturbance to the people around,” Gaudaen says. “And D.C. weather is always terrible. It’s either 96 degrees and humid and everyone is sweating or 12 degrees.”

Pop! Wed is still doing on-location elopements and weddings, but they now have a home base, or Humanist “chapel” as it were, to offer more flexibility. Additional family members can attend, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like, and they have room for more creativity.

“We can style it to our hearts content, and offer a little more customization for our couples,” Gaudaen says. They plan to change the backdrop every month or two for different photo options, and they are working on getting a liquor license to offer a champagne toast or open bar. Dog family members are welcome to attend, too.

Gaudaen estimates that their weddings will be split, about half at pop-up locations and the other half at the new space, which can comfortably hold around 20 guests as opposed to the handful that can attend a guerrilla ceremony.

Couples can also find a letterpress studio and florists at Off the Beaten Track, which houses a slew of artists and artisans (the wedding venue is part of a larger shift at the warehouse; Pop! Wed moved into parts of the old District Clay space, which in turn took over what was previously a large furniture showroom).

One of the other benefits of having their very own space: Pop! Wed can offer same-day weddings. The pair learned that a lot of people head to the courthouse wanting a quick ceremony only to find that there’s generally a wait of several weeks to be married by a justice of the peace. So in addition to their regular pop-up weddings, Pop! Wed plans to keep the space open from 12-5 p.m. on Fridays for anyone wanting a walk-in ceremony (unlike their regular packages, it won’t include photography).

“Some people really want to be married soon … for all different reasons,” Gaudaen says. “And we want to be there.”
