A couple charging $333 per guest for their wedding is continuing to share details of their unconventional celebration on TikTok.
A New York City couple is making headlines once again for their unconventional approach to their wedding.
Earlier this year, Nova and Reemo Styles attracted attention by charging $333 per guest to attend their wedding.
They are now sharing more “non-traditional” details about their big day on TikTok.
The couple charging $333 guest fee continues to show off unconventional wedding on TikTok
The Bronx-based newlyweds, who married in June 2023 at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and held a reception at One World Trade Center, have been sharing their wedding details on TikTok.
They are posting a series of videos on their @thestylesfamilia account.
Their latest installment, titled “Our Wedding Guests Started Our Wedding Day with Sound Meditation,” is the seventh in the ongoing series.
The couple previously showcased unique aspects of their wedding, such as having guests wear denim and shutting down Fifth Avenue for their first dance.
They also dressed their bridal party in custom colorful outfits.
The decision to charge guests an attendance fee was a controversial one when it was first revealed.
The NYC newlywed revealed why they charged guest fees for their wedding
The couple revealed that last month they made this choice after realizing a traditional wedding in New York City would cost them a minimum of $150,000.
Out of the 350 invited guests, only 60 attended, allowing the couple to save $70,000 which they plan to use to start a family.
While some TikTok users have praised the couple’s “smart” financial planning, others have been highly critical.
A commenter harshly criticized the couple, calling them “cheapskates” who want “the bling” but expect friends to pay for their wedding.
They said they would end their friendship with anyone who used such a tactic.
The Styles responded by explaining that the 60 tickets could not have covered the cost of their 12-hour wedding celebration.
“It’s silly to think 60 tickets could pay for the 12-hour wedding day that we had!!
It DEF didn’t and we paid for all of our wedding ourselves!!” they wrote.
Social media reactions
They couple’s unconventional wedding has sparked a heated debate on social media.
12 hours for a wedding, H&lol no. I won’t go and if I go, I won’t bring a gift. With crime so high in NYC I’m surprised there wasn’t security.
Excuse me but that could have been a down payment for a house, one user said.
Their guests should have charged THEM to go to the wedding, the second user suggested.
If you don’t want or can’t afford $300 then don’t go, It’s that easy, the third user emphasized.
I guess there is a sucker born every minute…. personally, I wouldn’t pay $333 to go to someone’s wedding if they asked me, another said.
