Where past brides meet future brides.
Gently loved wedding décor, dresses, and details; for a fraction of retail. Shop it. Sell it. Save big.
A Garage Full of Someday
For twenty-five years, I worked as a wedding planner, helping couples create the wedding day they'd dreamed about. I also watched brides try to save money in the wrong places, sometimes cutting back on the experienced vendors who could make the biggest difference, while spending a small fortune on décor and details they'd only use once.
Then the wedding ended, and all those beautiful centerpieces, signs, vases, candles, linens, accessories, and carefully chosen pieces went into boxes in the garage.
Do you have a garage full of "someday?"
Someday I'll sell it.
Someday I'll organize it.
Someday I'll figure out what to do with it.
Meanwhile, another bride was starting from scratch and paying full price for many of those exact same things.
That never sat right with me.
Weddings are expensive enough. I wanted to create a place where engaged couples could save a significant amount of money on the things they needed, without sacrificing the experienced vendors who help make their wedding day run smoothly.
I also wanted past brides to have an easy way to clear out their garages and put some money back into their pockets after the big day. After investing so much into a wedding, why not recover some of it while helping another couple save?
So we created one morning where the couple who just got married could sell their wedding items directly to the couple planning next.
Twelve years later, Wedding Resale Market® has become an entire community. Brides who once came to shop return after their weddings as sellers. One couple earns back part of what they spent, while another finds beautiful wedding pieces for a fraction of the original price.
Every dollar saved, every dollar earned back, every item reused, and every excited "I found exactly what I needed" moment is why we keep doing this.

Frequently Asked Questions
First Hiddden
What exactly is the Wedding Resale Market?
It's a pop-up marketplace where recently married couples sell their gently used — and sometimes brand-new — wedding items to couples planning their own big day. Think of it as the wedding world's best garage sale, elevated.
What kinds of things will I find?
Décor, dresses, signs, cake stands, card boxes, florals, lanterns, easels, vases, arches, candles, favors, jewelry, gifts — and plenty of surprises. Every seller has their own colors and theme, so no two markets ever look alike.
How much are tickets, and when do doors open?
VIP is $15 and gets you in first at 10:30am. General Admission is $8 in advance (doors 11:00am) or $10 at the door (11:15am). Every market wraps by 1:00pm.
Should I buy my ticket in advance?
Yes — advance tickets are cheaper and get you in sooner. Pre-registered guests enter first; anyone buying at the door ($10) comes in at 11:15, once all pre-registered shoppers are inside. And VIP is limited — it sells out, so grab it early if you want first pick.
Does everything really sell out?
It moves quickly. Shoppers make several trips to their cars, and some sellers are cleaned out by 12:30. Come early — especially if you're hunting for a specific color or look.
What should I bring?
Bring lots of cash — it's king here — plus a payment app like Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App, since many sellers take those too. Pack reusable bags and bring your own cart or wagon to wheel your finds out to the car. And bring your wedding colors or a photo of your vision so you know a match when you see it.
How do I pay for what I buy?
Cash is king — bring plenty in small bills. Many sellers also take Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App, but not cards, so don't count on plastic. Every seller runs their own booth, so payment is worked out right there with them.
Can I bring my mom, my bridal party, or my kids?
Please do — it's a fun morning to shop together, then head out for lunch after. Kids under 12 get in free; everyone else needs a ticket. Just a heads-up: it gets busy and the aisles are tight with shoppers, carts, and strollers, so pack light and be ready to move.
How do I become a seller?
Reserve a booth online — spaces start at $45. Bring your gently used or new wedding items, set your own prices, and keep every dollar you make. When you arrive, you'll check in with us and we'll show you to your assigned booth space.
How does setup work on market day?
You'll have two hours to set up before doors open. Bring your own cart or wagon to move your things. The good news: our venues are always on the first floor, so no stairs to fight. Come ready to display, and price everything to sell — this is a fast, buy-it-now crowd, not a browse-and-think-about-it one.
What can I sell — and what's not allowed?
Anything wedding: décor, signage, florals, dresses and attire, tableware, and more, in clean, ready-to-use condition. No broken or heavily worn items, and no reselling of mass-market goods unrelated to weddings. When in doubt, just ask.
Where are the markets held?
We host at beautiful venues around the Columbus area. Join the list below and you'll always know exactly where and when the next market is happening.
Is it just tables of stuff?
Not even close. We mix in vendors, background music, photobooths, and a few surprises along the way — it's a whole experience, not just a sale.
Do you offer refunds?
Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable — can't make it? Send a friend in your place. Purchases at the market are final sale, so look pieces over before you buy.
