Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you charge more for the venue than if we booked it directly?
No, never. We work directly with our venue partners to offer the exact same rate you'd pay going direct. The difference? With The Velvet Lounge, you also get full wedding planning and coordination services at no extra cost to you.
2. What types of events do you specialize in?
We specialize in elopements, micro weddings, and our signature pop-up chapels—but we also love planning full-sized weddings! Whether you're envisioning an intimate ceremony for two or a full celebration with family and friends, we’ve got you covered.
3. What is the Muskoka Pop-Up Chapel?
Our pop-up chapel is a one-day, all-inclusive wedding experience designed for couples who want a beautifully styled ceremony without the time or cost of planning a full wedding.
Each pop-up day features 5 one-hour time slots, each for a different couple. We provide the venue, styling, officiant, photographer, music, and coordination—so all you have to do is show up, say “I do,” and celebrate.
4. Do we share the space with other couples during a pop-up chapel?
No! Each couple gets their own dedicated time slot, complete with a private ceremony and photo session. You’ll never feel rushed or crowded.
5. What’s included in your wedding packages?
Our packages often include the venue, full planning and coordination, officiant, photography, ceremony styling, music, and more. We’ll tailor everything to your event size and vision and budget.
6. Can we customize our wedding experience?
Absolutely! We offer customization options for florals, timelines, music, vows, and more. Whether you’re booking a pop-up chapel or a full-size wedding, we work with you to make it personal.
7. How many guests can we invite?
Pop-up chapels typically accommodate up to 20 guests, while our micro weddings range from 2 to 40 guests. For larger weddings, we can accommodate more depending on the venue—just let us know what you’re planning!
8. Do you help with legal paperwork for elopements?
Yes! We’ll guide you through the marriage license process and ensure your ceremony is legal and stress-free.
9. Can we book just the planning services without a venue?
We primarily work with our trusted venue partners to offer curated, seamless experiences—but we’re open to planning services for off-site weddings, too. Let’s chat about your vision!
10. Do you travel outside of Muskoka?
Our focus is on Muskoka and surrounding areas, but we’re always open to special projects. Contact us to explore your location!
11. How far in advance should we book?
Pop-up chapel dates book quickly, so we recommend reserving as early as possible. For custom weddings, we suggest booking at least 6–12 months in advance, but we’re also pros at pulling off magic on shorter timelines!
