disability

At Offbeat Wed, we know that disabilities aren’t always visible, and that while some of us might be getting married in a wheelchair or walking down the aisle with a cane, others of us are dealing with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, or other invisible challenges like panic disorders, being neurodivergent, or having social anxiety conditions. Whatever your abilities, we want to help you have a wonderful wedding!

Old Hollywood glittery glam reigns at this retro theater wedding

We featured Dara and Michael’s vintage-styled drive-in theater engagement photos that were the bee’s knees.

Don’t miss the movie theater candy favors, Dara’s Gatsby-inspired headpiece (it was like 1950s meets 1920s!), and Old Hollywood glam decor…
