7 Unique Wedding Business Ideas You Can Start From Your Hobby (Episode 3, The Venue Underground)
When I posted a TikTok saying I could turn any hobby into a wedding business, I was expecting a few funny comments and maybe one or two challenges.
Instead, the comment section blew up.
People weren’t just dropping their hobbies. They were hyping up each other’s ideas, brainstorming pricing, and even announcing that they were launching their new businesses. It went from a 30-second TikTok to a full-blown entrepreneurial think tank.
In this episode of The Venue Underground, we read through the top comments, react in real time, and give 30-day launch plans for the most-loved ideas.
Top Wedding Business Ideas From TikTok
Here are some of the wildest — and most genius — ideas that came out of that one post:
1. The Wedding Hype Guest
One of the most-liked comments came from someone offering to be “the one guest who gets the dance floor going.”
We turned that into a real service: The Wedding Hype Guest.
Role: Blend in as a guest, boost energy, get people dancing.
Pricing: $400–$500 flat fee per event.
Target Clients: Couples with small weddings, shy friend groups, or family-heavy guest lists.
Marketing Tip: Partner with DJs and planners who want guaranteed dance floor energy.
2. Wedding Day Content Creator
If you love TikTok or Instagram, this is for you. A Wedding Day Content Creator focuses on short-form video — not full-length cinematic edits.
Role: Capture behind-the-scenes moments, trending sounds, and highlight clips for couples and vendors.
Why It Works: Many couples don’t want (or can’t afford) full videography, but still want shareable content.
Bonus: Vendors love this too. DJs, florists, and venues often need social media clips but don’t have time to capture them.
3. Plant Rentals & Propagation Favors
For the houseplant enthusiasts — turn your greenery into decor or favors.
Decor Service: Rent lush plants to couples for wedding day decor (especially great for industrial or minimal venues).
Favors: Propagate your plants and gift them to guests in bud vases with custom place cards.
Partnerships: Work with florists who can’t offer live plant rentals themselves.
4. “Hex on Your Ex” & Other Quirky Guest Activities
Cocktail hour needs fresh ideas. Why not bring in something playful, like a tarot reader, love spell station, or even a “hex on your ex” booth for laughs?
Why It Works: Guests love interactive activities, especially during downtime.
Great Fit For: Spooky-season weddings or couples with witchy, whimsical vibes.
5. Rent-a-Grandma
One woman commented that she’d love to “rent herself out as a grandma” for weddings.
Why It Resonates: Not every couple has grandparents present. This can add warmth, presence, and emotional moments to the day.
Packages: Ceremony-only, full-day, or “Reception Grandma” (toasts, dancing, mingling).
Rates: $300 for short appearances to $1,000+ for full events.
6. Choreographed Wedding Fights
For the couples who love theater, Star Wars, or Renaissance festivals, this one is gold.
Service: Script and rehearse a fun fight scene — with swords, lightsabers, or choreographed moves.
When to Do It: First dance, reception surprise, or as late-night entertainment.
How to Launch in 30 Days
For each idea, we outlined a 4-week plan:
Week 1: Set up the business basics — register your business, get any necessary licenses, and line up insurance.
Week 2: Build your packages, pricing, and branding.
Week 3: Create a simple online presence — Instagram, TikTok, or a one-page website.
Week 4: Get your first clients — through vendor referrals, styled shoots, and social media outreach.
Why This Went Viral
This post struck a chord because:
Everyone has a hobby.
People want extra income — ideally doing something fun.
The wedding industry is huge and always looking for fresh ideas.
It wasn’t just a comment section. It became a collaborative brainstorm with strangers rooting for each other’s success.
💡 Takeaway: If you’ve ever thought, “My hobby could never make money,” think again. The wedding industry might be the perfect place for it.
