Couple Put On Blast After Having 'Pop-Up Wedding' At Venue Without Even Notifying Them First

The Mansion Society in Indianapolis called out a couple for not booking their coffee shop venue for their 'pop-up wedding' on New Year's Eve, instead just showing up with guests and disrupting other patrons.

A coffee shop in Indianapolis called out a couple who bombarded the cafe on New Year's Eve with their wedding party unannounced and without having secured a reservation with the venue.

The bride and groom even exchanged vows with an officiant present, disrupting service for the confused patrons already at the establishment.


The Mansion Society is a small business that rents out the space for private events and hosts bridal and baby showers, but they require advance notification and a booking, which the couple didn't bother to secure ahead of time.

The shop apprised followers of the "pop-up wedding" fiasco on their Instagram page, writing:

"Today while our staff was expecting a normal Sunday, we noticed a downpour of patrons walking in."
"Soon enough, there was a full bridal & groomsmen party, a wedding officiant, wedding photographers, & patrons leaving personal items including wedding gifts, coats, purses, all throughout the coffee shop as they took over."


They said the group of about 20 to 30 people prevented other customers from entering the shop by blocking pathways.

The wedding guests even asked the shop staff to take their coats and watch their personal belongings as if they had rented out the space.

The post added that the "bride walked in and the ceremony immediately began."

"We were taking orders, slinging drinks, and we couldn't stop a wedding ceremony midway," the cafe's page wrote, fearing the social media optics of interfering and refusing service would be detrimental to their business when viewed out of context.

The Mansion Society team concluded the initial post saying:

"We debated not sharing today's event and what to share, we are ultimately sharing to ask our patrons to please be considerate, mindful and consider booking us for a PRIVATE EVENT, other than showing up and taking control of our small business with no notice or any sort of monetary prearrangement."

Social media users objecting to this pop-up wedding did not forever hold their peace.

In an update, the Mansion Society expressed appreciation for supporters who agreed that the pop-up wedding was a violation, and they thanked those who contributed to a GoFundMe campaign that was set up on their behalf.


People gave the cafe props for how it addressed the drama.

Although the cafe team initially didn't include a video showing the couple exchanging vows out of respect, they reversed the courtesy "given the lack of accountability from the wedding party."

The Mansion Society charges $500 for hosting private events.

However, when the post went viral and eventually reached the bride, she offered "a $200 donation."

Users found that unsuitable.



"We will wait for a payment from the bride to hopefully leave this in the past," wrote the cafe, adding:

"Although we're not expecting any sort of compensation from them, they don't see themselves in the wrong in this situation."

Folks, don't be this couple.

31-Year-Old New Mom Reveals Subtle Signs She Had Colon Cancer In Important Viral TikTok

According to research done by the American Cancer Society, it's becoming increasingly common for younger people—in their 20s, 30s and 40s—to develop colorectal cancer, possibly due to diet, alcohol consumption and the different stresses faced by today's younger generations.

Since patients are not advised to receive their first colonoscopy until the age of 45, countless cases in younger people have been missed until much later, making treatment more difficult to implement and less effective overall.
