Getting Married in Space

A wedding is a big event with many details, and it’s easy for couples to feel overwhelmed. It’s important to have a clear vision of what you want your day to look like and work with professionals who can make that happen.

We’re seeing more and more couples opting for unique, one-of-a-kind venues to create their dream weddings. From beside a river to in a barn, there are endless possibilities for creating an out-of-this-world experience. But what about taking things even further? Getting married in space could be the ultimate wedding adventure.

An upcoming company, Virbela, is making this possible by offering people the opportunity to travel to the edge of space on its Spaceship Neptune. The six hour journey will allow you to see the Earth from space, as well as enjoy a range of other activities including yoga and dinner. The company is currently accepting applications for the late 2024 space trip.

Spaceship Neptune will also offer a unique space for your wedding ceremony. You’ll be able to choose from predesigned “venues,” flowers, tablescapes and dresses. The company is looking into ways for couples to customize these elements to fit their own style, as well as creating other immersive experiences in the metaverse.

While this might be the perfect way for adventurous couples to tie the knot, there are some key considerations to keep in mind before you decide on a blank space venue. First, make sure that your budget and priorities align with the venue you’re choosing. Consider the size of your guest list, how much you’d like to spend on the venue, and if you want to add a metaverse element to your ceremony.

Another factor to consider is the ability to delegate. If you’re not a natural delegator, a Raw Space might be more challenging than you’d expect. It’s also important to be aware of the potential for technical difficulties. A good planner can help you navigate these hurdles, and can also help you to plan for the unexpected.

If you’re feeling ready to take your wedding plans out of this world, start by reading up on how to conduct an out-of-this-world ceremony. Then watch some 1950s space flicks, stream footage captured by Curiosity and Perseverance or binge-watch Cosmos to get yourself in the mood!
