Wedding Rules


Wedding Rules

As recreational marijuana becomes legal in more states and the stigma around its use continues to diminish, its presence at even the most traditionally conservative events seems to know no bounds. The latest place weed has been making an appearance? Weddings.

According to a recent Bloomberg report, couples in places like Colorado and California have been incorporating the heady herbal refreshment into their nuptials at a growing rate, driving a whole new economy of weed-related wedding services. Couples can hire wedding planners who specialize in cannabis coordination, bow tie–clad “budtenders” to man the open bud bar, and even high-end transportation companies that come complete with a joint-rolling concierge. And for those who just need a little inspiration, there are whole websitesdedicated to the art of creating a chic, cannabis-infused event.

Though most couples aren’t forgoing traditional alcohol bars, industry experts say there are plenty of benefits to offering cannabis in addition to cocktails. For one, it’s relatively affordable—and can even help curb costs. As a grower who spoke to Bloomberg quipped: “There’s a lot more buzz for the buck in cannabis than in alcohol.” (One does wonder, however, if the catering bill might be higher thanks to munchie-driven snacking?) And Tomer Grassiany, of artisanal cannabis-chocolate company To Whom it May, says that guests who trade booze for bud “are much more likely to be well behaved, less likely to be aggressive.” Plus, “an event that replaces alcohol with cannabis is generally a much cleaner one,” he adds. “Alcohol spills, is sticky, and leaves stains.”

Below, a few things to take into account if you’re thinking of adding cannabis to your own nuptials.

1. Consider Location

Don’t assume that because recreational marijuana is legal in the state you’re marrying in every venue will be fine with guests openly sparking up at the reception. Be honest with the venue about your plans for a cannabis-infused celebration up front and be specific about how you plan to serve it. “Offering vaping instead of joints goes a long way by taking away most of the stigma that’s associate with smoking cannabis,” says Grassiany. “Vaping means there is no smell and no dense smoke clouds filling the event.” Once you’ve established the terms, be sure you get the specifics in writing.

2. Consider Consumption

Beyond vaping, many couples choose even more subtle ways to incorporate cannabis. “For those who oppose anything that looks like the act of smoking, the best option is edibles,” says Grassiany. “They can be a very discreet way of consuming cannabis, without affecting other guests.” Just be sure you’re clear with your guests about the dosage of the treats on offer. “For guests who aren’t used to consuming marijuana, you may want to offer very small portions or treats that are infused with just a small amount THC,” one expert edible eater advises. Bottom line: Guests can always eat more, but it’s pretty hard to eat less, so make it easy for everyone to consume mindfully.

3. Consider Presentation

“A chocolate bar is always a favorite, and is the best option for venues that are not open to smoking or vaping of any kind,” says Grassiany. Most experts recommend placing the bar in its own corner away from the rest of the festivities—especially useful if you have underage or un-approving guests on the list.
