This is awesome 😂 This sounds insane until you’ve been on enough date nights where you spend $250 to discuss the kids’ schedules in a different building. The backstory is pretty great! A married couple in San Diego wanted to get dressed up and go to a wedding. Problem was, they’d reached the age where nobody they knew was getting married anymore. So they built a website where you can buy tickets to strangers’ weddings. And the economics actually make sense. The couple getting married has already committed to a venue minimum. Someone cancels. Now there’s an empty chair and a dinner they’re paying for either way. Meanwhile, another couple would happily pay to eat, dance, have some cake and watch a best man make a series of increasingly questionable decisions with a microphone. The hosts approve the guests. Guests verify their IDs. Everybody agrees to the arrangement. Which is arguably more vetting than your cousin’s new boyfriend received. Apparently one bride said the paying strangers brought so much energy to the dance floor that she wished she’d invited more. Of course they did. Those people specifically bought tickets to be there. Half your actual guests are attending under a treaty negotiated between their mothers. I love businesses like this. Find something people already paid for but can’t fully use. Find someone else who wants it. Make the introduction. This guy just wanted to take his wife dancing and accidentally identified a liquidity problem in the wedding market. Cue Vince Vaughn!
