Note that if you do the math with the constraints of one unique violinist and nonzero travel time, there can only be a maximum of 5-6 weddings in the given time window.

Of course. It's a promo stunt to get headlines, not an actual service. Wait and see how suspiciously young and attractive all the couples will be.

I wish this was available last year. I used Uber for my wedding in DC and got something like 10 cars at a time two times. Turned out fine and everybody loved it. They felt very VIP with the SUV's. We tried to work with Uber on organizing this but didn't seem interested. Luckily everything went well.

I wish this was a joke. 2014: the year the tech industry jumped the shark.

Why enter into a marriage contract so lightly?

It's the same as a Vegas wedding with an Elvis impersonator. Different strokes for different folks.

I'd assume it's aimed at folks who have already decided to get married, but dont' know when or how they want to do it, and want "a unique experience".

Looks like around ~500 weddings* will take place over Pride Weekend in SF. So sponsoring 1% on demand looks very doable.

That violinist Gabi Holzwrath is incredible (she has a "Royals" cover shot in Palo Alto) - http://gabiviolin.com/

Building up the market for Uber Divorce. But I wouldn't wait until next year.

Lol I first thought this was a joke, checked my calendar, nope, no 1st of April, damn, must be real then. Jokes aside, I think it is pretty cool! Curious to know what kind of price are we talking about here. Then personally I'd never use the whole package, I've very specific envy for my honeymoon etc. But having the transportation and big ceremony logistic handled for you sounds pretty amazing to me! Can't wait to read experience from people actually doing it!
