WE LOVE THESE FOLKS! These indie businesses have paid to sponsor Offbeat Wed because they love nontraditional weddings and want to work with more offbeat folks. We think they’re awesome, and we think you will too. If you want to support Offbeat Wed, using one of these vendors in your wedding is the best way to do so… they’re how we’re able to stay online and continue our mission of supporting offbeat awesomeness everywhere.

Vendors, want to be a part of this love-fest? Join us as a sponsor!

If you’re a bibliophile who loves to support your local public library, this wedding registry concept is stellar.

Instead of that traditional gift registry, you can easily create a wedding charity registry in support of The New York Public Library!
