Once & Forever Co.Hi 👀
I'm excited that you're here because it means that you saw something that you wanted to get more information. Hey, I'll take it. So the rest of this page is just designed to hopefully answer some questions of yours, give you as much of a breakdown as I feel as possible. You're gonna see it throughout this entire wording, but I'm gonna tell you the best way for you to see this is gonna be in person, and we are gonna be at the wedding show on August 16th. And I think you should come. I think you're gonna have fun. I think you're gonna like it. But regardless, this is what I got going on.
Who We Are
Heads up, I stole this exact wording from myself when I introduced us in our pinned post because it was just perfectly done the first time!
Hiiiiiii! Welcome to Once and Forever Co. We are Lani and Spencer. And you'll be able to quickly tell that the person writing this caption is Lani lol
Just really quickly, what we do is that we build wedding experiences around the couple's actual love story.
But a little bit about us. We kinda started this looking for something that we could do together that we both could enjoy doing and obviously make money doing, obviously. Right? Because no one's going into business, you know, not trying to make money.
So we could actually, like, hang out together and have a little bit more flexibility. And so we thought about it for a while. We went back and forth, and it's become something that we're really, really excited doing. And we just love it. We love people. And we love that we get to tell and share people's love stories together.
This is a company that plays really well to a lot of our strengths; Spence is an excellent executor, I love getting to create something from scratch and something all about love stories. 💗💗
We both buy all the way in to love and love stories and love hearing how couples came to be. We love people.
We're both likable (hey I hope you agree lol).
It's a good business for us.
Why We're Not on Instagram
The experience of this offer is highly visual and experiential, and it just doesn't work on Instagram. So that's why I don't sell on Instagram. Does that potentially put a small limit on the amount of people that show interest? Potentially. I don't know. I haven't tested that extensively. But I do know that I like to meet people in person and speak to them in person. That is the way that I feel like my offer gets conveyed the best, and that is the way that I feel like the bride and groom best get to experience it.
What This Actually Is
I get it, it may not be something that you've heard of before. So I'm gonna try to break it down for you, all these typical wedding stuff and how what we do is a little bit different from that and how we try to make that a little bit more personal and a little bit better, a little more elevated.
EXHIBIT 01Leave Your MarkClosest equivalent — guest book
Closest equivalent, a guest book. What it has in common with the guest book is that your guests will be a part of it, and they will be invited to sign it and to become a part of it so that you can take it home. The difference is it's not going to just be a book that says guest book. It is going to be based off of your exhibit and the setup we set up for you, and it's gonna be something that means a little bit more to you than just a book. It's gonna be significant to you. If you guys went to the same high school and fell in love at the same high school, maybe we'll do a high school jersey type of vibe. So there's definitely a lot of variation within it, but it's closest to that.
EXHIBIT 02The Photo MomentClosest equivalent — photo booth
Yeah. It's point and click, but the backdrop's not just some regular backdrop. We're not doing a whole props and posing. It is that they're stepping into a moment in your story, and they are getting a picture inside of your story. That is what the photobooth picture is. That's what they're going to be sending to themselves and remembering from your story. And when they post their photobooth picture, it's gonna be them in a moment of your love story. And when you see all your pictures, you're gonna get to see something that you probably experienced just the two of you that all your guests were invited into and got to participate in.
EXHIBIT 03The Guest KeepsakeClosest equivalent — wedding favors
Obviously, wedding favors. But what are wedding favors? Mints. Just stuff that you go online and you say, what can I get a hundred and fifty of? Okay, I'm gonna get that. And people live in there, and it's a waste of your money and didn't really mean anything to anybody. No one's reminded of you when they see it. So what we're bringing to the table is something that is special to you... and all of this becomes your story focused. Not in a narcissistic way, but in a very special way where people get to look at your favor months later, a couple years later, whatever the case is, and be like, oh yeah, this was from their wedding, I remember that.
EXHIBIT 04The Story WallClosest equivalent — wedding slideshow
Closest equivalent, a wedding slideshow. What it has in common is that your guests are seeing your story, your photos, your timeline. The difference is it's not on a screen you glance at for five minutes while it's playing. It's a physical exhibit your guests walk through and into, built from your real dates, photos, notes, and artifacts. They're not watching your story, they're standing inside it. And it's not going to be the same five photos everyone's seen on your Instagram, it's the ones that made you you.
